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

Was that OS one that gave a Gooda or a Bada impression, can you remember?
also nothing stops you from continuing to use the Note as a second phone, or as a camera.
You can send photos from the Samsung to email or sync to Google photos
It means carrying around two phones, but that’s life
The thing is, the iPhone 14 can be seen as a 12SS, but it’s also for all those iPhone 6s, 7, 8, X, XS and 11 users who want a new phone several generations better than what they have.
If you have an iPhone 12 or 13, there’s no urgent need to spend more money, but you can if you want to.
Yes, but when Apple launches its folding phones, it will be using those 7th or 8th Gen screens from Samsung.
Apple will not have been first to launch, but they’ll be first to do it right.
Maybe because the planes are moving at massive speeds while the moon isn’t moving in the same way?
He was really talking like Samsung is some kind of little indie company in Korea.Gotta support the little competitor beat the big tech giant
Gotta support the little competitor beat the big tech giant And the head of Samsung recently got pardoned by the South Korean government for corruption. If Tim Cook so much as got photographed littering on the streets, you can be sure we will hear no end of it.
I guess there are no lows the Apple haters won’t sink to just so they can bash Apple. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Or tether the note to the iPhone when taking pictures. All of my pictures go straight to Amazon anyway. 😂
Sorry I wasn’t more clear. I was responding to someone asking why Samsung never goes after other Android OEMs, so I was only talking about that, not Apple.
Because you obviously don't understand it's purpose . And nobody said you need 48mp for social media, you are trying to combat an argument nobody made.
It's really doubtful they will be the first to do it right, there are small chances they will be as competitive as Samsungs's Foldable of that year. The longer it takes the harder it t will get and the higher the expectations will get.
Apple's Foldables (if they ever launch) will most likely just be me too phones that are more expensive and not better than what will already exist on the market.

Samsungs ad premise is exactly the argument I’m combating.
"the highest resolution in a smartphone will be in someone else's pocket. And that epic moon shot that's getting all the likes won't be yours."
Ergo - all those pixels for social media sharing. Makes no sense.
I highly doubt Apple will ever release a folding phone (their energies will be focused on AR glasses instead) but I guess we will see.
Someone bought a Galaxy Z Fold 4, and it broke 5 hours later
Samsung promises that the Galaxy Z Fold 4's hinge will be good for over 200,000 folds, but for one unlucky Fold 4 owner, it only survived one.

Yeah the bar is really high to do it better. /s
It will likely be superior due to apple controlling the hardware and software. An apple foldable running ios and iPadOS would give people superior software experience due to it being optimised better. Samsung do as good a job as they can with the OS being restricted as it isn’t their own.
Samsung mentioned social media in conjunction with the moon shot which would be achieved on the periscope camera which is just 8 or 10mp. Like I've said you are trying to combat a point nobody made.
LoL, you think that means anything?

Just any phone can break right after you took it out of the box or it can be already broken, that's why electronics have warranty.
And the bar is high and getting higher with each generation. Apple most like only started to look into developing a foldablse not long before the first Galaxy Fold was launched, they are at least 3 years behind in development and dependent on screens(which are the essential pieces) from other companies.
Apple’s question to Samsung is “Can you make over 100 million of these such that the failure rate is at or better than the screens we currently get from you?” When Samsung can say “yes” that’s when the potential for a folding iPhone starts.
Any screens for Apple will be better because all the vendors will have tried out several permutations in the market and have iterated over time.

This is funny. Samsung is not restricted in any way. OneUI is Samsung's own OS which they adapted, they constantly improve and optimize for their foldables. And they have a big start in this category. Plus not only their interface is improving but Android itself, does Android 12L ring a bell? If you look at Android 12L, which improves the interface for larger screen but not necessary for tablets, just larger screens, having a specifically tablet optimized interface on a foldable doesn't sound like a great idea.
Samsung's main advantage will be the experience they gained with manufacturing and the actual usage of their hardware and software by millions and millions of real users. This is invaluable information which Apple doest really have. Like I've said, a me too device.
The moment Apple chooses a Samsung panel, all that experience becomes available to them
A question that doesn't make sense as Apple wouldn't sell anywhere near that many foldable.
Let's not forget when Apple ordered too many oled screens from Samsung and had to pay compensations because they could use all of them.
In this case the screens will be better for everybody.
LoL, no it doesn't, they will just get the screen and that's it.The moment Apple chooses a Samsung panel, all that experience becomes available to them
I'm not posting this to argue, because if anything I think it supports you:

If Apple decides to make foldable phones, it won’t be just for a single year, that 100m will be for that time AND into the future. Making 50 million one year and not able to meet that in a second consecutive year is NOT a position Apple will want to be in. The first vendor that’s able to make THAT many (more than have been made so far) will be the vendor in the best position to offer a folding panel to Apple IF that’s what they decide to make.
The screen has, built into it, all the years of experience Samsung Displays got from supplying them to Samsung Mobile. Samsung Displays will also be there to ensure that Apple’s using the screens in the way that Samsung Displays has learned, from experience, that leads to the longest life.
