In a series of tweets posted shortly after the iPhone 14 launch last week, Samsung took a dig at its arch-rival with a few fun facts about its Galaxy devices. “What the Flip, Apple?” the first tweet says, adding that Samsung has been “flexing for two years, five months, and 20 days”. That’s a reference to its first Flip series foldable. The tweet also features the Galaxy Z Flip 4. The second tweet highlights the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and contains the same jibe at Apple. Samsung is seemingly challenging Apple to join the foldable segment. But the latter has been known for not experimenting much and releasing identical products with little to no changes every year. That’s something it will find harder to argue against this year because the iPhone 14 base model is more or less a copy of the iPhone 13. So these tweets are also a jibe at that practice, something that has often been subject to trolls. The Korean firm is also trolling Apple for low-resolution cameras on iPhones. “48 megapixels? You’re almost there, Apple,” the company tweets. “We’ve had 108 megapixels for two years, six months, and four days,” it adds, referring to the Galaxy S20 Ultra launch. After seven long years, Apple finally upgraded the iPhone camera resolution to 48MP this year, though only on the Pro models. The smaller two iPhone 14 models still feature 12MP primary cameras.
Samsung continues to mock the Apple iPhone 14
Samsung continues to mock the Apple iPhone 14
Samsung called these tweets “a brief summary” of its reactions to the “innovative” new devices announced last Wednesday. The term “innovative” here is meant to be a sarcastic jibe at the iPhones. The company is mocking Apple for launching the same iPhone every year without any innovation. And this isn’t something new. It has launched these kinds of mockery campaigns against its arch-rival in the past as well. As said earlier, Samsung has already released two ads targeting Apple’s “innovations” on the iPhone 14 series. Eve Jobs, daughter of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, also recently joined trolls against the company. As long as the banter doesn’t take an ugly turn, we are all in for it.
