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

These comments from all you apple fan boys are hilarious but this is a mac rumors forum after all. Samsung has come a long way and most of you probably haven't held a Samsung phone in 5+ years.

I use a 22+ and it's so much better than my iPhone 13 that my work has assigned to me. The picture is more crisp, the UI and the notifications are so much better. Interacting with other devices that aren't Apple is just perfect.

The problem isn't Samsung, the problem is Apple and its closed ecosystem.

Soon you'll start seeing ads in your imessage unless you pay a premium, and they'll increase the price of your new phone while giving you less and less product in return because you'll buy anything with a dang apple logo on it.

It's a perfect ad. You all act as if Apple didn't do that to PC 🤣 you fan boys are hilarious.

Maybe Samsung should innovate on camera quality instead of camera specs:


tl;dr: iPhone 13 won comprehensively.

In fairness, MaxTech also compared photos from the S22 Ultra against the 13 Pro and picked the S22 Ultra as the winner in the video above.

Just saw this latest MaxxTech video and iPhone 13 Pro lost out against both S22 Ultra and Z Fold 4. Surprisingly, many of the wins went to the Fold 4. I was shocked myself that the photos I thought were best seldom came from the 13 Pro:


I think flagship phones from both companies are great. I used Android phones for so long primarily because I didn’t feel iPhones were all that great and rather simplistic. I loved my Samsung Note 4, 5, 8, and 10 Plus. The stylus was awesome with great OS customization. Multi-window, widgets, and DeX from FIVE years ago on the Note 8 is still better than what is offered on iOS/iPadOS today!

For a laptop, hands down I love love my MacBook Pros and Airs with MacOS over the years. I switched over to iPhone and an iWatch a couple of years ago and it’s been good but my recent iPad Pro with Apple Pencil makes me miss the Samsung S Pen. The S22 Ultra or Z Fold 4 may sway me back to Samsung for a phone. Not everyone needs a stylus for their phone but I did write a lot during work meetings and the precision was great for cropping screenshots or controlling remote computers through TeamViewer. Basically, I feel the Samsung flagship phones are better for true multitaskers and power users. You just have more options, features, and flexibility over iPhones.

I am currently using a 13 Pro and it’s better than my previous 12 Pro Max but overall not a huge upgrade. Although I have a lot of Apple devices now, I don’t really feel tethered to the ecosystem and can easily entertain the idea of going back to Android for my next phone.

I'm sure some will be interested in a flip phone that takes clear pictures of the moon. It's petty meh to me. The funny thing is, they never say the name of their phone, but they say "iPhone" several times. That's pretty bad advertising when you plant your competitors product in people heads that way.
 
They aren't wrong. 48MP phones were on Android yeeaaaaars ago. And just wait a couple more years until Apple "innovates" with a foldable iPhone while the Samsung Fold is on version 7 or 8 then.

Samsung's software is ****, mostly thanks to Android being ****. The hardware is half a decade ahead of Apple's.

Liar.

It mentions the Galaxy line and shows the phones names printed.

Such a ridiculous comment.

Both companies make worthy phones. It just depends what your needs are. I give Samsung credit for becoming the consumer electronics juggernaut that it is. Samsung set out to be the Sony of the 80s/90s and they achieved it.

It is laughable you’d want Samsung to go bankrupt since Apple sources display panels from Samsung.

Android trash.

Pitiful "if you can't beat them, mock them" mindset...
Advertise your product for what it is, not for what it ALLEGEDLY does better than a specific competitor.
 
all those pixels, then downscaled for social media sharing. Pointless
 
iOS vs Android. Mac vs PC. Have not cared since the Mac vs PC commercials were airing. Even friends who were die hards stopped caring a couple years ago. These commercials are just eye rolls.

As usual, they focus on features that aren’t very important to me. And, honestly, people don’t need 108mp sensors in phones to display images in HD. And I can’t imagine being happy with any moon picture coming from a phone camera.

The thing is megapixels don't tell the whole story. It's just a number like GHz that component manufacturers like to throw out. A Cannon R5 has less than half the megapixels of this Samsung phone so I guess no need to spend $6k+ for a camera now that Samsung has entered the chat 💩

Megapixel wars made me roll my eyes 10 years ago. And they still do. Cramming more and more pixels into a smaller sensor doesn't make for better pictures. Fortunately for Samsung, it does look like they did a decent job, increasing the sensor size along with the MP, apparently getting 2.4 micrometer pixels. On paper, that's better than the 0.8 micrometer pixels on their previous generation and better than the iPhone. If they paired that with a decent lens, the pictures have a chance of being good for a phone.

There’s that buzzword again: “innovation”. I’m sure I’ve complained about it on here before. We’re any of the features they discussed in those 30 seconds “innovative”?


Folding smartphone:

There are multiple folding phones now, more than one smartphone vendor has done the moon shot/space zoom… and none of them are that great. The one in this ad is likely already the apex.

High megapixel camera:

Ok, well that will look great on a large screen tv and possibly in print but it’s the content/subject of the photos that make it.

Moon photography:

How many novel pictures of the moon can you take anyway? It almost always looks the same in photos… it’s more fun viewing it through a telescope. If Apple ever has such a feature I’ll use it a few times to take the best pic I can then be done with it.

It's the same thing as the Android fans who flood Apple forums with negative comments. You do not see Apple fans on Android sites doing that. It really shows the jealousy and which one is ahead, way ahead.

I'm talking about Samsung talking about Apple in their ads, not customers, fans, or shills.
 
It has always been a dream of mine to just pull out my iPhone and snap a detailed photo of the moon on-the-fly. An iPhone with USB-C and cameras with fantastic low-light, astrophotography and 100x telephoto zoom would be an instant buy for me.
