Samsung Debuts Apple-Like Design Video for Galaxy S6 Edge

They used the Apple video as a template then copy and paste the newly recorded segments that look alike. It was probably edited by a 12 year old.
Because the iOS UI is just that amazing. Haha Thanks for the laugh
First the S6 and now this ... Samsung really needs a slap in their face. Give us back our removable battery and external microSD card!!!
This thread is filled with so much ******** it deserves a hashtag.

It's an ad, not an affront to someone personal sensibilities. Sweet Jeebus people. It's not like they're clubbing baby seals with spiked baseball bats.
They finally started focusing on aesthetics with their flagship devices. They wanted to present it in the best light. Who does "best light" better than Apple? Of course they were going to emulate the style of Apple's ads.
Their ads aren't for Apple people so it really shouldn't matter. Their ads are made to convince Android buyers to get Samsung instead of HTC, LG, Motorola. You know, the companies they actually compete against.

Am I the only one that doesn't think this is meant to be a shameless copy, but a parody?
I think it is just Samsung having a little fun.

Looks like Sherman and Peabody took somebody back in the Wayback Machine. Did you have to blow dust off the jpeg before posting? At least find some recent stuff.
Ha.

So I wonder if Apple will stop with the current style of design videos and move onto something new... there's only so many of those you can possibly make before they start feeling extremely... repetitive / dull. It'll take Samsung another 6 years before they move onto the new presentation style... if they survive at all.

True. But kind of hard to be an aesthetically focused "design" company when you can't come up with a single original idea. Nobody is falling for it. These guys are pathetic, and now their mobile profits are on a serious decline.
Interesting sentiment considering that without Sammy as a volume supplier of key OEM components, Apple would be up the creek without a paddle.
This is a fun story to sit at the top of MacRumors all weekend!
Any guesses as to how many comments it will get?

I think the Samsung video is the better of the two. Watch them with the volume muted to remove the annoying narrators. Production values are more refined and the content is more interesting in Samsung's spiel. Yes, there are similarities in a couple of scenes. Their close "We are digital craftsmen" IMO is far more powerful and speaks to the average customer.
Amid falling profits, Samsung needed to figure out a quick way to revitalize the brand. The answer: Go back to their roots and copy the iPhone on all facets.

You can't pretend that this is minor. We all know if the shoe was on the other foot and Apple was slavishly copying Samsung like this, Apple wouldn't just be "doomed"... they'd be declared dead and all the trolls on this forum would be spitting on their grave. Much like how the iPhone 6 bending was yet another sign of Apple's declining quality... until the S6 Edge was shown to bend as well, at which point smartphones bending was magically a non-issue. Never mind Samsung actually made an ad bashing the iPhone 6 for bending, and claimed that the S6 and S6 Edge won't bend.
Well they did come up with the Edge. So there is that. Although it's not a phone for me, the design looks damn good in person. Sorry bud, not getting into a profit discussion. That changes the focus and doesn't actually contribute to the topic.
