Samsung Mocks Apple for Lack of Foldable iPhone in New World Cup Themed Ad

Samsung can’t really say much there. Their answer to Siri is Bixby which is even more widely reviled. And they don’t even have a smart speaker. Though to be fair, if this is the level of effort Apple is prepared to put in, they shouldn’t have one either.
At least my iPhone can enjoy the match with unrestricted viewing pleasure.
In a new World Cup themed ad, Samsung has poked fun at Apple's lack of a flippable iPhone while promoting its own Galaxy Z Flip4.
In the ad posted on one of Samsung's Weibo accounts, Galaxy Flip phones can be seen as fans in a soccer stadium, themed after the 2022 World Cup. While the Galaxy Flip phones are cheering and flipping in the stands, a few smartphones, clearly resembling iPhones, remain in the audience, standing still with sad emojis shown on their displays as they look around at the sea of Galaxy Flip phones. Text at the end of the commercial reads, "it's time to fold together."
This is not the first time Samsung has made fun of Apple and its lack of a foldable and flippable phones. In an ad last month, Samsung made fun of how Apple users are always waiting for new features, "because that's what we do. We wait," the ad mocks a fake Apple employee as saying.

Those fold phones keep missing seconds of the match as they keep folding over!!
Agreed. And I don’t understand the hype and how amazing and future like it is. Nintendo had foldable tech a very long time ago.
Ah I totally forgot about Bixby! Everyone I know with a Samsung phone uses Google Assistant, I guess cause Bixby is not good? I have it on my TV but never used it.
And I agree about Apple’s effort with HomePod and Siri… not good
Foldable phones feels like one of those things that certain manufactures are trying to make happen, despite most people having zero interest. From what I see most foldable phones are too small to be useful as a tablet and too thick (when folded) to qualify as a pocketable portable device, so they are basically the worst of both worlds. I suspect like a lot of other dumb useless tech they will disappear due to lack of interest.
yeah, hard pass on a folding phone. they've been decreasing in thickness for so long, why now stack two sides together for a bigger bump in my pocket. no thanks.

Tim Cook could care less about Samsung 😂 looks like he has a great trip in Japan.
I'm a total apple fanboy, I live in full Apple ecosystem.
And I have a great interest in seeing foldable iPhone. I travel a lot and 2-in-1 device that is a phone and a small tablet is ideal for me.
Looking forward to Apple making one

Or… for those of us of a certain age… the SACD/DVD-Audio of the phone industry.
It’s unbelievable people are paid to sit in a room and come up with stuff like this.
Nobody cares that Samsung is "attacking" Apple. They care that they are mocking Apple over lacking a feature nobody asked for or wants.
Apple's ads about Windows getting viruses were very relevant to people's daily lives. Apple was selling an alternative people wanted and needed.
Has Samsung ever actually said what the benefit of a foldable phone is?
Samsung continues to push their beta hardware, hoping Apple will buy into it . 🤣
