Samsung Mocks iPhone Duo

[MacRumors]

Samsung took to social media today to mock the iPhone Duo while Apple announced the device.

In a series of sarcastic posts that did not explicitly mention Apple or the iPhone Duo, Samsung made comments like "Let us know when you're done reheating our leftovers" and "Was it exciting? No. Did it happen? Yes."

Samsung used an #ItsTimeToSwitch hashtag in some of its posts.

Launching on Friday, October 23, the iPhone Duo will compete with Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 and other foldable devices already on the market. Apple will begin accepting pre-orders for the iPhone Duo on Friday, October 16, with U.S. pricing starting at $1,999 for a model with 256GB of storage, compared to $1,899 for the Galaxy Z Fold8.

As if they didn’t copy the form factor…

F ewe Samsung. Never buying your junk products again.

Every year it’s the same. So cringe.

I don't know why Apple does not look at developing their own screens or going to another OEM.

 

[iMatt.]

Not even half the market cap of Apple and talking like this btw

 

[tomtad]

Very odd behaviour. Samsung make the display in the Duo no?

 

[Astuces iOS]

There is Duolingo too

As if they didn’t copy the form factor…

Let’s not forget that Apple themselves have copied the duo name and form factor from the Microsoft surface duo, from seven years ago

I mean the Duo looks ok but the software experience (iOS) is above and beyond.

Some Apple fans get all worked up at Samsung, but I actually enjoy this kind of playful banter.

I wonder where Apple copied the PowerBook Duo name from in the 90s.

Samsung or LG. But even if it is Samsung it's an entirely different division of Samsung, unrelated to Samsung Mobile.

 

[pigeonguy]

Because Samsung has never copied anything ever, nope.

No clue, but the surface duo is literally this device. It’s nearly the same size and shape, and usage scenario.

Deflecting away to something else called duo is not as relevant here.

My broader point is that all of these companies copy from each other and have forever, including Apple

 

[brooklyn360]

We all saw it coming. It's ok.

 

[Macalway]

Samsung are so proud! Hold your heads high, Samsung!

 

[winxmac]

Samsung and their ingenius ads.

Samsung mocking Apple only to follow suit later.

Headphone jack, charger, all removed by Apple and Samsung does the same thing but mocking Apple first for doing so.

 

[Naraxus]

Ofc it did. Samsung just got blown out of the water (as usual) by Apple and has to reseort to childish shade throwing. Same as it's always been.

 

[MRSugarD]

Samsung being pathetic as usual.

 

[Dulcimer]

Can’t wait for Sammy to copy all the software slickness and return to caroable aperture after Apple showed them how it’s done 😘

 

[jz0309]

yea, but Google does the same thing ...
reality is, the smartphone division has nothing to do with the display/screen division ...

 

[blacktape242]

funny and in ways true.

 

[Two Appleseeds]

Gonna keep mocking Apple until those sales numbers come through. And even then they'll be chuckling to themselves, because they sell so many parts to Apple.

Samsung is king of the foldable while iApple is in 900th place
