Samsung Throws Shade at Apple Ahead of iPhone 14 Launch: 'This Innovation Is Not Coming Soon to an iPhone Near You'

I'd love to have a periscope camera, oh well Apple maybe next year, or the year after...
 
I'd love to have more features.

With that said, *every* Android phone I've ever owned has had far more issues than *any* iPhone I've ever owned. Reliability and stability are a big deal to me. Exploding phones aren't.
 
Amazing to see all of the iPhone users making excuses for why the iPhone cannot do what Samsung does. Or, they say "there goes Samsung doing something nobody needs." But when Apple eventually get around to adding the same feature, years later, they hail it as innovative.

Samsung's 108 megapixel camera is AMAZING and the pictures leave iPhone users wishing they had half the camera.

Oh, I fully realize it's not innovative if Apple does it 10 years after Samsung does it. I would indeed love to have the photo quality that Samsung does. I too laugh when Apple 'innovates' by doing something done a half decade ago.

But do I *NEED* it? Nope. I work on a military post (also WFH some), and and am on my cell phone literally all day long, every day, for years. What I *need* is reliability and stability. Photo quality is a semi-distant second.

Nothing wrong with this ad, especially if it encourages Apple to work harder to impress with each of their own releases. Competition is good etc. I don't know why people get so "holier than thou" and dismissive whenever Samsung release a phone or make ads like this.

This isn't competition, it's marketing. People get annoyed because Samsung (and most of their customers) have a chip on their shoulder. They define their smartphone world and experience based entirely on what iPhone and Apple do. If it's not better than iPhone in some marginal or obvious way, they don't pursue it and their customers don't even talk about it. Try having a conversation with a Samsung customer and you can hear the strained jealousy and anger buried in their voice as they try to one-up you on every feature of Samsung. That is all the result of programming from marketing like this for over a decade. If it wasn't so funny it would be sad.

Not really going to sway people. Pretty much people stick with iOS or Android. The market is mature, most have chosen their side. This makes Samsung look petty.

I am not sure. For example, I've moved to Garmin Epix 2, might switch APP to Sennheiser or Beoplay, and switch my iPhone for foldable, and be left just with MBP.

iPhones been the same since iPhone X just with minor changes & the same price hikes

You don't sound like you've used each iPhone since the X. They have all iterated just like every previous model of iPhone. But since the hardware design has barely changed since the X, you believe that the software and hardware design inside hasn't which isn't true at all. How much do you want to bet that when Apple completely redesigns the look of iPhone (probably 1-2 years from now) everyone (maybe you too) will exclaim how revolutionary it is and how much it has changed when it's mostly cosmetic with some software iterations like they do every year?
 
I admittedly don't care much for further improving camera quality on our phones. Feels like we've gotten to the point of diminishing returns where each new bit of innovation applies to less people requiring those capabilities (or even noticing they have an improvement from a few years ago).
 
every folding phone I've seen IRL has a nice crease in the screen..... and the screens feel horrible under finger. It's cool and all but I'll just have to see what Jerry Rig does to it when he tests it.

There’s no excuse to be had.

People like to focus on this one thing that a Samsung flagship evidently does better than an iPhone, and make it sound like the iPhone is somehow crippled or flat out useless just because it lacks said feature, all while ignoring everything else that an iPhone excels at. From battery life, to software support, to having the full weight of an entire ecosystem behind it.

I really don’t get Samsung’s obsession with Apple.

I don't mind these kind of ads, they can be humorous sometimes but, the moon shot getting all the likes is super cringe. Feeding off peoples need for attention and to be liked. Yuk.
