cheap phones yes. people love cheap chit so they can buy another 6 months later, and then still claim android is superior
Samsung: we have more megapixels.
Also Samsung: why didn’t we think of a Dynamic Dot first?!? Get on it! *whispers* and we’ll make it fold.

With free creasing of the screen and creaking sounds included.
Ha, if that were true, I'd suspect that they'd be more mature and probably successful ad campaigns
[Edit: for grammar and insert smilie]
Trolling on MP? What has it done for them? The iPhones released at the same time have received the same or better camera scores. The best thing about the Samsung cameras is zoom. This is where Apple has lagged. But even considering that, it’s debatable which takes the better photos and videos.
Samsung, it's not the number of pixels but the quality of pixels.
Way to pander to the uninformed consumer.

Its been a year and we got a dynamic island. Looks super awesome... But come on... Bigger camera bumps? Apple you're going the wrong way...
Continuing to be the most profitable company in the world and still posting record quarters. Definitely headed the wrong way.
They don't name a particular PC brand, but they name Intel. Apple vs a hundred+ different PC manufacturers... who would they have targeted it at? No - just go straight to the source - essentially "all" PCs are/were powered by Intel. (Sure - AMD too, but Intel have had the market share..)
True but that M series chip though...and it only seems Samsung targets Apple, they never seem to target any other competitor and yet it's not like Samsung are referring to an OS thing but the hardware itself....so what gives.
Don't get me wrong, it could be that Samsung are just having a laugh but it's like one of those bad Dad jokes...the funny guy in the room that cracks a joke and no one laughs....awkward!
I’m starting to feel like the iPhone is on the same path as Grand Theft Auto 5.
Samsung today continued on with its ad campaign denigrating Apple devices, this time sharing a series of tweets highlighting Apple's lack of a foldable iPhone and pitting the iPhone 14 Pro's 48-megapixel camera against the Galaxy S22's 108-megapixel camera.
"What the Flip, Apple?" reads the first tweet, which points out the launch date of Samsung's first foldable device. The second tweet has the same first-to foldables theme, while the third notes that Samsung devices have had higher megapixel cameras for several years.
Samsung has been sharing anti-Apple ads since before the new iPhone 14 models were announced, and the company has a long history of insulting Apple devices in order to promote its own products. "Buckle up for Apple's latest launch," said an ad released in early September. "As you enter a world where heads will turn, must none in your direction. Where the highest resolution smartphone will be in someone else's pocket."
A second "Join the flip side" ad that came out on Thursday attempted to persuade iPhone users to swap to the Galaxy Flip by showing a diehard iPhone fan lusting over foldable technology.
Samsung has in the past mocked Apple design decisions such as the removal of the headphone jack only to follow suit and make the same move a few years later. Samsung has a leg up in this case as it was first to market with foldable devices and high-resolution cameras, but it will be interesting to see if there are iPhone 14 Pro features that Samsung ends up adopting in the future.

Same stuff for years and years. Updates and remasters, online gameplay with constant micro transactions. Subscription services with $3 here, $5 there.
Apple , like Rockstar doesn’t have to really change things much. If they keep delivering the same thing in a fancy new package people will still line up to buy it in droves. But eventually people will grow bored. Apples marketing budget shows they know that’s happening. That’s why we’re being trickled “ advancements “ as a snails pace.
We are being led something amazing is around the corner. Hints and rumors. But never anything of substance. Each new screen shot and leak gives us hope and we keep spending money.
Just promises that lead to more money.
The iPhone 14, is Apples GTAV.
Re badged, re branded. With new improvements! But really just the same old thing with new flashy marketing and advertisements. Promising us we will love it.
Couldn’t we have had nearly all of these soft wear advancements on the current iPhone 12 and 13?
Sure. But they need that quarterly and yearly earnings reports.
We’re all slaves to hope.
I’ll end up buying a 14. My 12 Pro Max battery health is at 92% but somehow the battery only lasts 9 hours on a full charge.
I dont understand why Samsung keep doing this each year...Like we GET IT your way more ahead. Does it make them feel more 'Special' by rubbing it in?
Seems childish to me :/
Ive always seen it as Apple is a little more late to the party because they prefer to test out further before they implement something new in their product range/s.
Apple is like Mercedes Benz, they create new technology that has never been seen before but if another company invents it first it will be years before you see it implanted by them (Apple/Mercedes). Just my opinion of course.
Yeah i know that can be annoying but id rather wait and have something that works more stable and lasts longer in my hands then grabbing a device with the most newest tech that hasn't even been tested properly.
ONE TIME ONLY i decided to give Android/Samsung a go and my goodness it was the WORST choice i had ever made
Apple has the perfect balance with its ECO system and how all Apple products work together in harmony, tried this with Samsung and yeah it just never worked right from the start.
For me this is a major point when choosing to stay with Apple so i dont really care if Samsung offer one or two new tech that i probably won't end up even using.
