It's exceptionally a horribly-designed product. Absolutely stupid after spending $2000 USD that customers have to look at certain angles to avoid the crease. 😂

Samsung Takes Jab at Apple After Finally Including ProMotion Displays in iPhone 13 Pro

Refreshing post. Why people can't see the good in brands they aren't loyal to blows my mind. Or why people are so loyal to just one brand. No wonder the market place is turning so monopolistic. Consumers will pay in the long run.
I didn't say Samsung phones were junk because Apple didn't make them. They're just junk period such as that folding toy nonsense. How embarrassing for Samsung to charge people $2000 for something that still leaves a crease in the middle.
Using Samsung's screens don't take away the fact that Apple makes a better phone. Not sure why you're defending Samsung? Apple didn't put out a trolling tweet about Samsung. Every year it's the same thing. Samsung trashes Apple in ads and tweets and Apple says nothing in response. It just shows how threatened Samsung is.
This is a stupid knock on Apple from Samsung. The reason Apple couldn’t do 120Hz before now is because of Samsung’s inability to mass produce LTPO OLED screens in the quantity Apple sells. They could do it on their flagship phones because nobody buys those in any sizeable quantities. We’re talking an order of magnitude here. Samsung might as well say, “Sorry we couldn’t make enough displays for Apple. Blame us. But since we can’t sell Galaxy phones, we could make enough for those.” This should be an embarrassment for Samsung, not a brag.
OMG! Was what I just felt the Earth instantaneously tilting an extra 20 degrees?
How will Apple ever survive and recover from Samsung's massive smackdown? Tim Cook must go!

You're joking right? You too young to remember the multi year ads poking fun at PC's vs Macs? Neither those or what Samsung is doing is meant to be taken serious.
So I guess Apple just has junk displays and whatever other parts Samsung supplies them then? Because you know a screen isn't important at all on a smartphone
I think this is just as much an advertisement for Samsung's display business as it is for their phones...
Obviously according to Samsung time doesn't matter. Their witty tweet of being first wouldn't have been posted if they didn't feel threatened to lose business to Apple. Facts are today Apple introduced some solid features for iPhone 13 Pro and it trumps the Samsung Crease.
Apple: adaptive refresh rate so you can just enjoy your content
Samsung: go to settings each time you want 120hz, at reduced resolution and/or battery life. Don’t forget to change it back when you don’t need it.
Do Samdroid users forget how Apple does things better?

Hey Samsung show us better battery life while also adaptively refreshing between 10hz and 120hz and then you can talk
Also do it consistently at the native resolution and not force users to either a) downgrade resolution or b) lose up to half of their battery life because of a feature you marketed but have disabled by default 🤦♂️🤦♀️
I have used all OS's and I would NEVER own a samsung phone. Their phones and OS's are trash and trying to root them now is almost impossible because of the ******** "knox" security. Their batteries are always bigger, sometimes twice the size of an iPhone battery and their battery life is GARBAGE.
Imagine being so insecure 😂

I agree with your assessment completely, JGIGS. Samsung is a solid manufacturer and top 3, but I don't think they're as good as Apple, besides the screen. Android OS feels cheap to me.

Sigh. Since no one has corrected you yet, Samsung Displays and Samsung Mobile are separate entities . . .
I'm suspecting you really didn't understand the Mac vs PC ads' mood, from Apple. They were and still are genius. They have nothing related to these embarrassing and desperate reactions from Samsung. It's clearly a move from an inferior company.You're joking right? You too young to remember the multi year ads poking fun at PC's vs Macs? Neither those or what Samsung is doing is meant to be taken serious.

It was no variable offering 60 or 120. Then months later they offered some variation if selected but forced lower resolutions. Nothing like the 10-120 variable rates with auto selection based on use case and even the speed of finger swipes Apple released today. Samsung basically knew Apple was working on 120 because they supplied the test screens and rumors said it was coming last year, so they rushed to beat them to the punch as usual. This response was planned for months. They knew they had the screens but could not fathom how their implementation would blow them to kingdom come v
They are both innocent little fun jabs at a competitor. Please can people in here take their apple blinders off? Samsung actually promoted the iphone with that tweet. Free advertising. Why? Cuz they sell displays and other parts to make the iphone. They make money on iphone's and samsung products. Why are people in here having such a hard time understanding this? The term of this called tongue and cheek. Go look it up and maybe you'll get it. Both the old Apple ads and this tweet are forms of this granted the Apple adds come off more satirical because it's in video form.
That's a fair opinion. Personally, I can't comment on which I think is a better operating system since I haven't used an Android smartphone in at least 5 years but in my experiences both iOs and Android have plusses and minuses vs. each other. But Apple seems to at least have an advantage with their processors at least.
