Samsung may do things first but when Apple does it they make sure it is way ahead quality wise compared to the so-called pioneer... Samsung mocks Apple but a few months or a few years down the road they follow the path of Apple... No headphone jack, no charger in the box, etc.
and vice versa...
 
Does a huge corporation like Apple need any of us to defend them or is this about our purchase decisions being questioned? If Samsung goes after Apple its not my problem.

I'm looking forward to my new iPhone but those folding phones are pretty cool. They just need to get a bit more durable.
A lot of these people feel Apple is a church not a corporation. They have absolute, blind faith.
 
When Apple mocked Microsoft/Windows it was on point, these just seem like hey we pay attention to everything Apple, lets post their specs in our ads/trolling...free advertising without Apple doing much work.
They're not just posting the specs though, in every ad they are using the name Apple in every headline 😂 - doh!

Why do Samsung always feel the need to attack Apple? It's a bad look IMO. When was the last time Apple attacked any of their competitors?

Apple wouldn't attack their phone competitors for the same reason Coca-Cola never attacked Pepsi in the 1980s during all the "Pepsi Challenge" stuff. It never looks good for the market leader to 'punch down'.

Every company whose campaign tries to copy Mac vs PC commercials, ends up just looking desperate, and pathetic. You’re convincing no one to switch. Maybe you’re fulling the Samsung fanboys, but even then it’s sad.

As Jobs noted, the PC character made the whole thing work - he was still lovable and earnest, he just didn't have the tools he needed to succeed.
 
Meanwhile, Apple fans looking at the iPhone 14 struggling to understand what has changed since the 13.
Who’s struggling?

I haven’t frequent this site much yet I still know about better chip, better camera, longer battery. (Yes, this is 14 Pro compared to 13 Pro but who cares about generic iphone anyway?)

Do you want to know what has changed from my X which I’m using happily for full 5 years? The best thing about it is I‘m still quite happy of my old phone. I don’t have to upgrade this year but the money is burning in the bank so.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

There is ground they can never make up using Android OS. With me and practically every other iOS user I know, Android is dead in the water. They should design their OS if they want a fighting chance in the future. Otherwise, they will continue to lose market share year after year in the US.

I suspect the 108 mp claims are largely bogus.
I've been a photographer using 35mm film and aps-c and FX-format DSLRs for more than 20 years.
108 mp isn't on digital SLRs yet, even in FX format. It's on medium format cameras though.

The noise levels on pretty much every smartphone are very high once you get above ISO 50 or so.

DSLRs excel at high ISOs like 1600, 3200, 6400, 12,800 and higher. Phones, not so much.

Noise levels tend to be related to megapixels. Coz the more pixels you divide your sensor into, the fewer photons strike each photosite. Which means less signal. Which means more noise. Ain't nothin' for free.

108mp on a ridiculously tiny phone sensor is basically b.s.

Seems legit…

What's more weird?

Finding Apple fans on an Apple forum. Or finding Android fans frequenting an Apple forum?

It always tells me those Android fans are secretly regretful of their purchase and are trying to rationalize it by frequenting an Apple forum and crapping on Apple. All the while, just seething with jealousy but trying to play it off.
 
The adds are quite funny and originals, pity Apple cant read them because they are very busy counting the billions they are making with their devices… it seems Samsung has a lot of spare time on the other hand

So yeah a long time ago. They haven't been doing it recently yet Samsung continues to.
The “Get a Mac” ad campaign is why I’m not worked up about these Samsung attacks. Apple’s attacks against PCs were good fun, just as I’m sure these ads are for Samsung users. We aren’t the intended audience.

Does Samsung have any wisecracks about Dynamic Island? Nope, they can only brag about the endless camera bloat at the expense of everything else that made it necessary 😂

If it didn't work Samsung wouldn't do it. There are lots of spec chasers out there. This is targeted at them.

If they said something negative about dynamic island, it would just be confirmation of them copying it next year. So maybe they won’t copy this one.
 
My girlfriend has a Samsung phone. I'm not gonna lie, that camera kicks ass! We compared the zoom while on vacation a few days ago. Hers put mine to shame.

Said by someone using a iPhone thats 2 generations old...lol...
