Then they should have compared it with their own battery issues, you know, the exploding ones that got them totally banned from flights.

Samsung Compares Galaxy S9 to Very Slow iPhone 6 in Frivolous Ad

The notch haircut jab was hilarious. Also, all the triggered people in this thread.
I understand that but there is a way to do it. Telling a user they are essentially idiots and losers for buying an iPhone(Samsung have basically done this sort of thing many many time in the past)is not going to work.
much better instead to talk about the positive points Samsung feel their device has.
The brightness goes up for the Wallet app so that bar or QR codes can be scanned ."The woman's woes start at an airport security checkpoint, where a security officer reminds travelers to have their boarding passes and IDs ready. The woman taps on the Wallet app on her iPhone, but a white screen appears,"
Although that is right, even today, Apple has missed the boat with 10.3.3
The brightness does insensitivity up to full when u you open the app, yet reduces brightness when u close it.
Sumsung know how to do 'sneaky' ads though
I actually think the ad is funny. I'm sure Apple isn't losing any sleep over this. Back when Apple did the Mac vs PC ads I was strictly using a PC back then, and I thought those were funny too. Most people don't even watch commercials anyway.
Except that thee are ways to do go about it. Samsung has and still does mock Apple iPhone owners for buying an iPhone. Basically calling them losers and idiots for doing so. That tactic then and here will not work. it will just put their back against the wall and tell Samsung to f-off.
Also fiddling things a bit in order to frame it wrong is not the right way either, basically lying.
Much better for Samsung to talk about the great things they feel the device has.
Well done ad. Although I can’t believe Samsung spends so much money making fun of Apple and insulting potential customers it then asks to switch.
"The ad is deceiving,"
To say the least. I have a 6 and it is fast. No white screens. No delays. Runs the latest iOS. Pretty pitiful that Samsung has to fake things in addition to comparing to four year old tech. If they can't do it, they fake it.

Only other downside I see to this is to switch from iOS is easier vs. The other way around.
Smart Switch manages to bring over more than the Move 2 ios app.
Apple has a whole operating system with computers, TV compotents. Samsung matches the watch and tablets. However Samsung has their touch wiz overlay but it would be cool if they had their own operating system. Id probably be all in at that point.

iOS needs more updates because it has more bugs, is further behind in features and to undo throttling lag. For example, seems like semi-weekly a new vulnerability causes iMessage to soft brick the phone with a string of characters and the UI still doesn't allow the owner to do something as old and basic as placing icons anywhere on the home screen. Also, iOS needs frequent updates to maintain app compatibility where you don't want to be on anything older than iOS 10.x from 2017 while Android 5.x from 2014 runs everything and even Android 4.4.x from 2013 runs over 90% of apps. 2011 Android phone had split window multitasking, background multitasking, precision pen input, etc. that iPhone has yet to get. I use both so fully know their pros and cons.
A 2012 Samsung Galaxy Note II with 2GB DRAM and Wacom pen runs better and is more advanced than the iPhone 6 released two years later. Even the 2017 iPhone X has partially caught up with DRAM, OLED, etc. but still doesn't have precision pen input, split screen/background multitasking, can't place home screen icons anywhere, can't swipe away incoming calls, etc.
So what's the actual answer to the question that was asked and quoted?
[doublepost=1526607549][/doublepost]
What exactly is "runs better and is more advanced"?
That’s right. If you lie to them about your waist size your ape costume won’t fit, so you’re only hurting yourself.
Am I the only one that gets it??.. I mean anyone who plonked down $800 - $1000 for an iPhone X or the 8/8+ is not going to be swayed by an ad from Samsung. This is to catch the attention of people with older Apple phones, whose frustrations with their old phone, could translate into buys for Samsung??
Samsung is not a product reviewer to compare their best to the best from Apple. They are marketing their device to the most likely defectors from Apple's ecosystem - those with older phones.

Samsung trash ads as usual!! The Koreans cannot understand they are shooting their own feet by this style of advertising.
One thing you can say is that their advertisement is obviously quite effective.
Since I rarely watch television, I rarely see commercials.
But they managed to get how many of you “Samsung is evil” posters to make sure that I knew they released a new “S9” phone.
I’m guessing a lot of other people found out because of negative comments from anti-Samsung people as well.
So I can guarantee you that with my exposure level to advertisements, that Samsung probably would have been on the S3000 before I’d have likely ever noticed they had an S9.
So you have helped them make more people aware of the S9. And really, all you’ve done is proven that some people don’t like a particular brand out of social engineering.
Anybody with independent thought, is going to discount the negativity as simple “fanboy” syndrome. And now they are highly aware of a new Samsung S9 phone.
I’m not saying that to call anyone a “fanboy”. But for someone who is neutral in brand names, that is how the negativity will be dismissed.
Or... perhaps even more in Samsung’s favor. “Wow... look how upset and defensive those Apple users got, maybe this is S9 is a great phone if so many Apple fans are upset about it”.
Marketing is a funny thing. And they got you to help them.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy your S9, just as those that prefer to buy an iPhone will enjoy their choice. Everybody wins
