Samsung Mocks iPhone Duo

[Nyx1]

Next year Apple should make external screen for camera under display camera too really hope there a button for use to open phone instead using your hand

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

Really? That doesn’t seem to be the case for a long time…..

 

[jz0309]

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

did MSFT trademark the name Duo?

 

[heretic51]

Some nerve considering who they blatantly ripped off in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011....

They owe their entire 'ecosystem' to being a copycat.

It's tasteless, but they've been a real class act since day one...

 

[1BadManVan]

Just like when they mocked them for removing the charging brick and did the same thing the next release LOL

Apple is Samsung's largest customer.

If I were their account manager, I would be sweating.

Samsung unfortunately runs Android so switching isn’t an option. Can’t fault them for trying to be competitive though. Rest assured this iPhone Duo will easily become the market leader in foldable phones.

It's crazy that a so called professional company act in this way...every single year. Imagine if Apple wasted their time doing this...I guess when you're the leader of the pack you don't have to pull any of the shenanigans of those that are chasing.

 

[Nyx1]

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.

Different division semiconductor and mobile seperated

For a company that literally pioneered this form factor, this is reeks of insecurity and cringe.

 

[triton100]

From the company that literally copied the iPhone for years.

Such trashy behaviour from a massive company.

The iPhone duo looks phenomenal. I was the one who was yawning about it prior to the actual presentation. Now I’m sold.

11mm thick is brutal for Duo fr tho

Apple didn't make the first cell phone, but they reinvented the device and turned the entire market upside down and inside out. Google was weeks away from releasing their own phone with a touch screen and had to redesign it because Apple raised the bar.
Apple didn't invent publishing but they reinvented it with the introduction of the LaserWriter and true WYSIWYG display technology.
Apple didn't invent the watch, or the computer, but... you know.

Apple is rarely first, but they're usually (arguably) best.

 

[1point21gigawatts]

More like cringey.

 

[turbineseaplane]

I have no idea.

I’m simply reacting to the fact that everybody always accuses everybody of copying Apple when Apple copies others all the time also.

 

[Jumpthesnark]

It’s always the same from them. The Samsung social media team has the tone of a middle schooler who just saw their ex holding hands with someone new.

As soon as I can figure a way to cover the two FaceTime cameras without causing closing issues, I believe I'm going to jump on that particular bandwagon.

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.

Seeing that they stole Apple’s design, I’d say they had these pre canned.

Screams insecurity as per usual with them.

 

[salz4life]

Still remember when they knocked Apple for removing the Headphone Jack only to do it themselves a few months later. F them!

 

[btbeme]

My experience with Samsung? The worst possible customer service, ever. And it felt like that was on purpose. You couldn't gift me a Samsung product.

 

[triumvirate]

I’m so tired of these companies (including Apple) communicating like they are everyday people. It’s “giving” “bad vibes”. But go on, Samsung, we knew they would.

 

[svish]

Good to see the foldable from Apple after a long time. Over 7.5 years since the first fold from Samsung. Disappointing that the Duo does not have the telephoto lens. Wonder how long that will take to come to Apple's fold. Overall the software and user experience on Duo looks good.

 

[WatchTheThrone]

Samsung wishes it could sell like Apple does and since they can’t, all they can do is be on the sideline shouting nonsense lol happens every iPhone release like clockwork 😂

Agreed. And to see this kind of cheap public facing mockery really makes me dislike them more. Absolute stupidity.

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

They somewhat do. They use existing technology like almost everyone else, they do their own R&D or pays for it. Don’t be fooled by Samsung that all Apple is doing is copying or using left overs, it’s far from the truth
