Samsung Trolls Apple Over Lack of Innovation in Latest iPhone Lineup

I think these ads are actually meant to egg Apple on to hurry up and introduce folded phones because Samsung wants to sell the components to Apple. Samsung as a whole probably makes as much if not more money selling components to manufacturers than it does with its smartphone division.
They probably need economies of scale on production of their foldable technology that they can’t achieve by themselves through their own phone sales. I’m sorry if I’m repeating anyone else’s points. I haven’t read through all of the outrage yet.

And of course, the very funny “I’m a Mac…I’m a PC” series of ads. Hey, it’s a part of the game and oneupmanship (is that a single word😂?).
Not all pixels are created equal.

More than megapixels: 108MP Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra vs. 20.2MP Canon 1DX II
Photographer Kevin Raposo wanted to see if the 108MP Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra could best a professional DSLR camera. He pitted the Galaxy against the Canon 1DX II, which has a 20.2MP sensor. Can you tell the images apart?

Samsung would love Apple to sell a foldable phone. What a better way to get the masses on board huh. 👌🏼I think these ads are actually meant to egg Apple on to hurry up and introduce folded phones because Samsung wants to sell the components to Apple.

I just took a scalpel and scratched a line across the middle of my iPhone 13 screen to get the "Flip Feeling", and down the middle of my iPad screen for the "Fold Feeling"

Well that’s my conspiracy theory anyway. 🤣 It’s something to kill time while I wait for my iPhone 14 Pro Max
you are correct the difference is Apple stopped. Also I don't think Apple ever thought they would take over MS and the PC. The only time Apple mentions a competitor now is during an Apple event I believe.
But does it make a creaking sound? You don't have the authentic experience otherwise
It's not the size of your megapixels... it's how you use them.
I wonder if Samsung's photos look verifiably better than iPhone photos. Just having a larger number seems irrelevant.
The fold thing might be a neat feature for customers who don't want to carry a large phone. For me, unfolding the phone to see the full screen would be a time drain -- I'm sure I look at my phone >100 times a day. I'd probably stress about causing damage to the screen by unfolding it so much.

That's because it's only for SOS emergencies. But I do agree it's a big advancement, but just not all that useful. (Until you need it, that is)

I am also 99% sure my new work phone which I will receive next week will be a samsung phone. It won't be flagship but nonetheless I will see what it's like.
It does have 108mp. But it looks so bad there's no point. Samsung could divide their tiny sensor into 1 trillion photosites ... that wouldn't improve anything, either. It would just increase noise. Increase file sizes for each photo. The megapixel race is absurd. It's a marketing move to impress people who don't know any better.
Personally, my favorite iPhone cameras are the single-camera ones that were flush with the back, like on the iPhone 5, first-gen SE, etc.
I think they're getting a bit weird with the three- and four-lens phones. And the lenses all bulge outward now.
IMO it makes more sense to *reduce* megapixels and stop trying to offer super-wides and short telephotos as lens options.

Oh my god! YOU offered ME “buying advice” that I didn’t ask for!
The Android police truly is great entertainment.
I haven't read all the comments on here, but yesterday I did the pre-order for the iPhone 14pro.
Afterwards I went to a tech store and was looking at the Galaxy fold 4 and I have to admit that I actually really loved it. It felt fast, the screen is amazing and the pen input is the killer for me. I stood there regretting my pre-order.
I snapped out of it a few minutes later as I remembered all the reasons I am in the Apple ecosystem, but Samsung really do have a good product.
edit - I am stating this specifically on the screen and pen input - the ability to fold out to show images and presentations larger is a big plus for my use.

Creases in the screen aside, it runs Android so automatically isn't a good product.
yeah the creases are an issue.
I was mainly referring to the ability to sketch on the device and also show images / video in a tablet format. Has some specific benefits.
I dont really have an opinion on Android as I haven't used it in years.
Flip 4: poor camera, poor battery life, can’t open with one hand, bulky, but you can clap with it. Can’t even compare to quality of 14 Pro, that costs exactly the same 💁♂️
