Ok, the comparison itself is deceptive... but you've gotta admit the notched haircuts are hilarious.
The UK (unlike the U.S.) has laws against misleading ads. Sorry. The fine print doesn't cut it.
Lazy.
Would have a lot more respect for Samsung if they made a ‘positive’ advert, pushing the qualities of their device.
This sort of negative advertising, just criticising the competition, is lazy, dull, and frankly a bit pathetic in these modern times.
Bringing your direct competitor's product into your advertising, to be used as a pedestal to step upon to raise yourselves up, is weak marketing strategy at the very least, and extremely juvenile. Either way, you're still bringing "Apple" and "iPhone" brands into the viewer's immediate consciousness ... genius move... yeah, so well done for that eh.
This is like having an Apple commercial where a user’s Note 7 keeps catching on fire.
I understand why this site disparages the Samsung ad; but the reality is that it is clearly, carefully targeted advertising. It's aimed at people who currently own iPhone 6's, who are primed for a new phone. There's not much value in targeting iPhone 8 owners to switch right now.
They literaly wrote it in the changes on the software update, but people never read anything and just click ok.Apple deserved it. Be honest with your costumers next time.
I just love the print at the bottom of this:
"Model shown is iPhone 6 with iOS 11.2.6. Newer iPhone models are currently available. Screen images simulated"
So in other words they admit this is an absolute false advertisement!
Keep on mind there are lots more Underwood things going on in iOS a the time, things like dynamic encryption and decryption. Your processor is frozen in time. Eventually it doesn’t have the horsepower to do things quickly as in days of olde. Also if your battery is tired, the throttling to prevent crashing will add to this situation.This is pretty cheap taking a shot at an older phone .... BUT
As an iPhone 6 owner I am mystified on how slow the device has become. I can only assume that iOS has become very bloated. The phone use to be very snappy. Now, the same, basics apps: Mail, Maps, Wallet, etc .. are glacially slow. Siri was immediately responsive - instant. Now if I want Siri to set an alarm for me I'm sometimes waiting for 10 or 15 seconds to see if she responds. WTF happened? Its a terrible experience. Make improvements to an OS should not default to it running slower. In fact, the basics should be running faster as routines are optimized, yes? During the transitions from Mac OS 10.0 -> 10.1 -> 10.2 -> etc my Bondi blue iMac became FASTER and MORE RESPONSIVE because of OS optimization.
There are no new improvements to these apps/OS that justify how slow the phone as become. When I try to make a phone call why the F*** does it often take a 10 seconds to open THE PHONE APP! If one application should be streamlined and optimized - even for older devices - if should be the phone app, yes?
I would have preferred to stay with an older version of iOS. The phone did everything I wanted to - at great speed.
I have been using technology since the 70's - I understand the upgrade cycle. However, the iPhone 6 is a very powerful device. It is capable of running the apps I need at a very quick speed. I know - because it did. I know feel like making a switch to Android because I feel like I am forced to buy a new iPhone just to make it operate at a reasonable speed.
