I'm pretty sure that they get paid as soon as the iPhones are built, not when one gets sold. So they don't care once the batches have been created.
Got a tip for us?

Samsung Shares Three New Ads Making Fun of the iPhone X's Notch, Lack of SD Card Slot and No Split Screen Multitasking

I don't use Split Screen multitasking on my Note8 for what it is worth. Usually isn't worth it. I don't even think most Galaxy users even remember they have that feature.
I am happy to have an SD card slot though!
I'm indifferent about the notch. My biggest gripe with the iPhone X is that it doesn't come in a larger screen size (something they will remedy rather soon).
There are moments where these commercials are somewhat funny though, but they fall quite short of the standard set by "I'm a Mac ... I'm a PC" and they make you feel uncomfortable rather than amused by the end of them.

Snarky and rude has been the standard for web sites, commercials of all types, and shows and movies.
Once again, everything gets run through market analysis. If the numbers didn’t look good then the commercials would have disappeared quickly. Any negative reactions will be analyzed and corrections applied to new commercials, if any more are planned.
The notch covering part of the video/movie is a good argument, and I am someone who has 0 intentions to buy Samsung s9 or use Android.
that sad thing is that the macbook PRO still comes with 128GB and 256GB standard, a phone storage more than laptop storage?
Also lets not forget the I am a PC I am a Mac ads

Ya because iOS with the tons of new features in beta, and broken consuming all the battery are amazing every year!!!
They have a share sheet for messages, right? What’s the point of copy and pasting?
I would suspect that the majority of people needing storage above 64GB will need it for photos, music and videos, for which SD card speeds are way more than adequate for. I would also expect that a Samsung galaxy phone, tablet and notebook will compliment each other very well.
Not in my country.
In fact. It was illigal for many years. Now it’s not but no-one does it.
So to me this is kinda weird.
I don't like the premise of these ads, and yes, Samsung seems desperate. But man, I think the dude they got to play the Apple employee is brilliant.
iPhone and the "neither samsung nor iPhone" smartphones market share are practically the same:
iPhone: 38%
Samsung: 26%
the Rest: 36%
Is the 2pp difference what makes the difference?
What's harder, to bring iOS users to Samsung, or bring other brand Android user to Samsung?
Exactly. I don't care if the Samsung S9 ***** gold, I still prefer iOS and Apple's ecosystem.
These are pretty funny commercials. And they do poke fun of what some people feel are genuine criticisms - remember when iOS 4 was supposed to bring multitasking?
We currently only get true multitasking on iPads!

Never saw it in action before. Looks much worse than I thought. And using split screen to copy and paste a link? Seems like a step backward.
The S9 has the exact same aspect ratio as iPhone X. When you zoom a 16:9 video on either of them to fill the screen, you lose a bunch of area on the top and bottom of the video. This occurs on both. When viewing at the native aspect ratio, you don’t lose anything on either.
That's the thing, Apple DESIGNS their phones. Sure Samsung provides the components, but Apple designs it. They design the look, feel and experience (through iOS). Whereas Samsung can only really design the hardware for their products and rely on Google to provide the experience. Samsung then tries to put their own mark on Android by squeezing in their bloatware into the stock OS. Whatever happened to Tizen? Samsung was suppose to ditch Android and only have Tizen on their devices. I don't know why haters keep using the term "Apple club". There really is no club, just people who are happy with what they have. Samsung's flagship phones are on par price point with Apple. Sure Samsung builds/manufactures all those other products, but they compete with a lot of other companies in those sectors. Apple has products that the average consumer wants and there are plenty more of those than hotels needing equipment or companies needing ships. Semi-conductors are sold cheaply so it takes more of those to equal just one iPhone. On top of that the App Stores in both iOS and MacOS does a lot of business.
Oh Lord, what did I read....
I use an iPhone because of the os, I don’t need twice as cpu twice as battery twice of everything
Because it’s more optimised.
Samsung manufacture a lot of things... did you hear about the washing machines getting fire?
What does the s9 cost ?
99 plus tax ?
It's always fascinating to see how different Apple and Samsung's marketing of their phones are.
Cloud storage should be considered obsolete. How do you access your phone's data when you don't have an internet connection?
Surely the biggest joke is that Samdung use Android!
Enough said.
Samsung, you really are true sleaze bags.

Perhaps the lady that wants local storage because she was one of many victims of iCloud leaking her private nude pictures all over the internet.
Not only does iOS lack multi-window multitasking like what you're used to on a computer but it's also lacking proper background multitasking which is even more important.
These educational videos are great but some people just want or are better off with iPhone which is basically a featureless iPod with calling capability. They don't need more than that.

Google shut them down about Tizen. The ‘experience’ is different on a Samsung phone than on a pixel phone so I’d say Samsung provides the experience. Samsung as a company make lots of devices and comonents. No need to down play it.
