Samsung Mocks Apple's New iPhone Launch on Social Media
Samsung Mobile's US division has publicly mocked Apple's recent iPhone presentation, particularly the launch of the new iPhone Duo, through a series of posts on social media platform X. The South Korean tech giant used humor and memes to criticize design and marketing choices made by Apple. Samsung aimed to highlight its long-standing leadership in the foldable device market.
Following Apple's official unveiling of its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, Samsung seized the opportunity to comment. In one post, Samsung humorously apologized to Duolingo, suggesting Apple had borrowed the name 'Duo' for its new device. Samsung also pointed to its own advancements beyond dual-panel foldables, referencing its Galaxy Z TriFold concept.
Further posts from Samsung implied that Apple was merely adopting existing technologies and ideas that Galaxy users have had for years, suggesting Apple was "warming up leftovers." The company also poked fun at the iPhone Duo's potential use as a bedside clock, comparing it to a scene from the movie "Groundhog Day."
This public sparring on social media has become a recurring feature of the rivalry between the two brands during major product launches. Previously, it was reported that Apple had significantly reduced iPhone prices in Israel.
