That's Korea in general. they have quite the complex of being picked on by China and Japan for centuries, and now they're just copying the worst of American culture.
Traditional Korean culture is great. too bad they trying so hard to move away from it.
Wait, are there people who still think megapixels matter? 108 MP is just silly and a BAD thing. That's excessive even on DSLRs. Why would anyone want 108MP with tiny optics and sensor? Reminds me of the now-irrelevant CPU clock speed wars of the pentium era. RAM is even becoming an weak stat since the utility of more is a function of the speed of storage and software optimizations.
Sad that there are many luddites who look at a 5-bullet spec sheet at best buy, see a "big number" and figure it must be a superior technology.

Apple is almost never first, but it is almost always the best. This is across all product lines.
Looking forward to Samsung's announcement of the Morphing Peninsula soon.
If we could go back to the days of rooting and custom roms, then I might, MIGHT, give Samsung/Android another try. But from what I see, those devices are locked down almost as bad as Apple. While I do miss Nova Launcher, I don’t miss us enough to return. I’ll stay with Apple a while longer.
MP only matters when you are printing large (poster sized) images. You want resolution so the image doesn’t become soft. Though in the case of a phone the lens matter even more since the sensor is going to be small anyways.
From what I've read I think I will not have a problem with Samsung phones. It's the operating system. Simply put Android does not favorably compare to iOS IMHO.
I mean they are right...another boring iPhone launch.
This is really pathetic. You'd think that they've learned from ad campaigns in the past.
But then again... every generation (in marketing) tends to make the same mistakes.

Typically the person who makes the claim is the one that needs to back it up when asked. Can't just say something happened and then when asked for proof of it, tell the person to go find it themselves. Kinda kills your argument immediately even if you have one.
Well, both are important (though why anyone needs 100+ on a phone escapes me; that’s nearly 2x what my full-frame setup has, and it’s a waste with phone-level glass). I’d rather larger sensor than an over abundance of pixels, but more than 12 would be nice for cropping and general image quality. I’d love to see something like a 1”-type 20MP sensor on an iPhone.
Besides that this just seems immature and petty for Samsung - it also doesn't hold much weight as an argument. If Apple wanted to release an iPhone with a 108 megapixel sensor, they could - it's not like they aren't technically able to accomplish it. Same thing with the folding screen. Apple is good at waiting and perfecting new technologies, instead of releasing a bunch of half-baked crap that should probably still be in an R&D lab.
Lastly, who really ACTUALLY needs a 108 megapixel sensor in the phone, when I would guess 99% of users will be viewing the photos they took on their phone anyway...

Good comebacks. Apple even used the same name scheming like Samsung Galaxy Series with the Apple Watch Ultra.
All that ad spend, and not a single customer wavered on their decision to go with the iPhone over the Galaxy
Yes, that's totally why they named it that obviously. Not like Apple has ever used the word "Ultra" previously for the higher end model of a product.
Yes I do think these ads are a joke. Life’s short bro, don’t get worked up over something so minor.
Those flip phones look silly to me. I don't see why anyone would want that.
I, personally, do no care about hardware that much as long the UI experience and ease of use is superior in any directions. I also do not give a crap about the camera on the phone. Furthermore, I have Fujifilm X100V grade camera for real photoshoot.
No matter how crazy insane spec the camera is, if you have bad eye, bad angle, bad lightning for the photoshoot—it will look bad no matter what. Photoshoot depends on the skills, not hardware. I have shot with Nikon D90 before, which is only 12 megapixels. Photos are fantastic.

Well, as they say, the best camera is the one you have with you. I bring my Sony A7RIV with me when I can but for family pics at the park or whatever, sometimes it’s not worth the hassle (your Fujifilm has an advantage on size there, I think). So I’d like to see improvements in phone camera technology. Still, 100MP is absurd on a tiny phone camera and lens. 20-30 would be ideal if the technology and optics can match the resolution. But a more powerful optical telephoto would be higher on my phone cam wish list at this point.
