I think that Shamesung just needs to give up.
"It's everything you've been waiting for"
Oh, they mean the iPhone 6? Why would I want the S5, anyway?
1) Larger screen: I am fine with the iPhone 5/5C/5S screen size
2) Heart rate monitor: There is an iPhone app for that, I believe
3) Fingerprint scanner: It's all about how it is implemented; the iPhone 5S got it right, not Shamesung
4) "Modern glam design" (That is how they describe it in the intro video): I can put an extra large Band-Aid on my iPhone if I want a tacky look and feel
5) S-Crapware: THERE IS NO iOS ALTERNATIVE! (Except for Newstand)
6) Android 4.4 Kitkat or whatever the tacky name is: I'll take my chances with iOS and it's backdoor(s)

You are clearly missing something here. Samsung is mocking the user for being behind or out of touch or having made a bad choice. The mac vs pc ad was a solution to a problem, offering an alternative to the woes of having viruses all the time. They are fundamentally different propositions, samsung offers no reason for the screen size being better or cooler or more functional.
I think you have a lack of social intelligence and maybe are incapable of analysing the subject properly.
What's wrong with waiting?

I think you didn't understand the Mac vs. PC ads.
What exactly are you resting your case on? I'm going to take a large leap and say you have absolutely no clue what my comment is about. It usually helps when you actually know the context of the quote.
For the record, your comment is in total agreement with what he said. Case dismissed.
I met a girl a few years ago. She was dating this jerk, and he repeatedly beat the realization of truly how smart and beautiful she was. Love, it feels, often starts in only one direction. I couldn't have her then, but the moment chance gave me was not to be wasted. Sure, I may have been with others between when we met and when we got together, but waiting was the difference between fancy and friendship.
I like waiting.
I like it because passion extends beyond an argument.
Does that make sense Samsung?

I love how they're basically helping Apple advertise a new iPhone without realizing it. "Screen size is a huge reason to buy our phone.." BOOM, Apple makes a bigger screen phone.
That's presuming that size is an advantage. We have a few Samsung people here at work that have to hand-carry their phones around with them because they won't fit in their pockets. Big advantage for sure.
I like the Apple ecosystem and the design of iOS and Apple hardware. Even though I am interested in a larger-sized iPhone screen, I have no interest in switching, especially to Samsung. If I got an Android device, it would be the Google Nexus.
Well, be fair. He said bright and vibrant, not crisp and clear. And they are bright. You could even call it vibrant. You could also call it "headache inducing" and impossible to use in low-light conditions.
Or at least, I would, based on using a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 I was given a part of a promotional. That tablet was actually responsible for selling me an iPad. I got a taste of what a real tablet could do, but needed a real tablet to do it.
So in short Samsung gave me a product that convinced me to buy an Apple device. I have a hard time taking them seriously anymore.
"Immediate gratification is an advertising tactic Samsung has used before..."
While Apple believes that Awesome things come to those who are patient!

I've long felt that Android is lacking in top end smaller screened phones. I hope Apple keeps them around.
I for one can't wait for a larger screened iPhone. But like others have said it's all personal preference.
I'm an all Apple user here but these Samsung commercials are hilarious. Kudos to their marketing department. It doesn't mean their product is great, but their marketing is awesome.

This is Samsung's last gasp attempt to sell based on phabletness, ahead of Apple's entry int phab-land, to folks that have no idea that iPhone 6 will come in a large flavour.
That's all I wanted you to do is reference iOS8. I knew where you were going. Do you know where I'm going?
I don't mean to sound cliché, but did anyone notice which guy had the bigger one, and which "envious" guy had the smaller one?
I'm sure samsung didn't do that on purpose.....

I'm right there with you. 4 inches is the sweet spot. Now Apple is just trying to compete.
Not sure if you watched the ads. They mocked Windows for being virus prone, not users for being unaware that there were other options. The tone and wording were carefully chosen. The entire gist of those ads was PCs make you put up with all this crap, but did you know that theres an alternative that doesnt have those problems? Check it out!
Very different end result.
But I do like how youve acknowledged that your original point was invalid. At least we can agree on that.
