Samsung Mocks Apple Yet Again in a New Ad

Last week, Apple released its brand new smartphones, the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, as well as the much-awaited Apple Watch. Naturally, the devices received both a lot of praise and criticism, and the comments about them vary – from the new iPhone looking like an Android phone from 2012, to it being the “next big thing”. The bigger iPhone 6 Plus left Apple’s competitor, Samsung, kind of angry, and the company didn’t waste time to create a set of ads mocking the new iPhone.

Right after the release of the new iPhone, Samsung put out six videos titled “It doesn’t take a genius”, showing two guys dressed like Apple’s staff at an Apple Store. They lampoon the lack of multitasking on the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus, the absence of fast charging, the introduction of a bigger screen etc. You can check out one of these below.

The most recent ad for the Galaxy Note 4 features tweets from people joking that the new iPhone is just a bad copy of Samsung’s phablet. The ad drew both positive and negative comments online, and we’d like to know what you think about it. 🙂

Samsung’s Note devices have been one of the most popular handsets on the market, and although Samsung’s global market share in smartphone category was 32.3% in Q2 2014 (compared to Apple’s 13%), we can’t help but wonder whether Samsung is starting to worry about the sales of its devices now that Apple has two new handsets out with larger displays.
