A little curved screen on the side... Why? Seems like it covers a tiny use case and introduces another part that can break.

Samsung Compares Galaxy S6 Edge to iPhone 6 in New '6 > 6' Campaign

The Edge is not very successful IMO, a buddy of mine owns an electronics store that sells mobile phones, and the iPhone is outselling the Edge close to 30 - 1 last week.
There is nothing special about the Edge that is compelling customers ( at lease in the Metro Town Vancouver area ) to purchase it.

This is so cringe-worthy, my eyes hurt. Alright Samsung, please copy Apple for the sake of everyone's eyes!
And you think this has to do with these commercials? I hope you're joking. I mean really? You think people out there are like "ohhh how horrible, poor Apple, how can Samsung be so mean!" Is that what you're telling me?
And beyond that, please tell me why Samsung should care about how people (like you) feel who have zero intention of buying a Samsung phone? I'd like you to explain your logic because I don't see it.
its very likely that wide(r) angle selfie means u will look fatter in S6 when u take ur selfie extending ur hands. photographers, if i am wrong, please correct me.
Samsung are following this marketing ploy:

If Apple knows the strategy, it is easy for it to avoid the attacks.

Good point - it's largely unnecessary if the battery life is long enough.

I think these two commercials alone show what each company is striving for. (Apple's is also half the length and more appealing to the eye)

It's just a convience thing, to be honest , you take your phone out of you pocket and place it on the bad, it charges. Just means you are not fiddling with trying to put in the wired cable into the phone each time. Wired charging is faster. Wireless charging is an option, all phones that support to work with wired charging.
If you get a chance, look at the apple watch, it's apples first device to adopt wireless charging. I think it's a good idea, especially when you plug that charger into the many stands that are available.
That is true. It's more of a convience of not having to align the port with the cable each time.
Though as its a universal standard, a "wireless" pad can support many devices. So you do not have to get a new wireless pad everytime you get a new device, though I'm sure apple will find a way
Nor wireless charging or wide selfie lenses are unique to the S6 and that weird display isn't enough of a feature for customers to actually want to pay the premium.
Samsung's basically admitting their phones are mostly the same as Apple's and that Apple is more successful. Good job.

I find it rather pathetic when advertisers do this, plus they forgot to mention it still runs android! Seems all smart phones aren't created equal!
My friend changed from a 5s to the S6 Edge, thinking that it looks way cooler than a 6 or 6 Plus. Tried dissuading him to no avail.
But now he's telling me he regretted getting the S6 Edge.
True story.

I think that edge could/should be used as a dock rather than just for notifications.
When Apple earns 89% of the smartphone industry's profits, I don't think they qualify for the underdog status anymore. Apple has firmly cemented itself as one of the prime movers of a new era.
well samsung has also had production problems keeping up with demand for the S6 edge. apple sometimes can't offer the latest and greatest tech right away because they need to be able to do it at a much larger scale an reliably and sometimes the production of the newest tech just isn't apple volume ready.
If you go by sales figures they are indeed the underdog. What you did was comparing sales revenue. It isn't wrong too, just two ways of looking at it.
