Samsungâs love/hate relationship with the iPhone continues with a brand new cringe-worthy commercial that attempts to mock Apple and the iPhone X for the silliest possible reason.
Mocking the iPhone isnât a new tactic for Samsung, as the company used the strategy many times before, with some of the ads going viral on YouTube in previous years. But this new push just shows how terrifying the iPhone X is for Samsung, a phone thatâs been selling a lot better than the Galaxy S and Note phones in spite of being a lot more expensive.

Samsung is launching it about a month earlier than expected so it can have it in stores well before the 2018 iPhone series arrives. Thatâs also a sign that Samsung is afr aid of the new iPhone X in a year when its flagship, the Galaxy S9, hasnât been able to meet internal goals.
The iPhone X is the best iPhone you could ever ask for. Similarly, the Galaxy S9 is the best Galaxy S version ever. But there are hardly any reasons to criticize the iPhone X, and Samsungâs new ads prove that.
Recently, a different Samsung anti-iPhone ad made fun of slow iPhones, suggesting users should upgrade to a Galaxy. That ad wasnât targeting the iPhone X, because no Galaxy can even achieve the kind of speeds available on the latest iPhones. And itâll be a long while until Android devices get as fast.
The new ad, meanwhile, proposes us an incredibly silly situation. An iPhone buyer comes to an Apple store to ask an âIngeniusâ about download speeds. First of all, Iâve never, in my life, been asked that question about any phone, nor did I ever consider asking it about the iPhone.
Secondly, she seems to be pretty well informed abou t download speeds, so whatâs the point of coming to an Apple retail store to have all that confirmed? If you do need a device that can deliver the best download speeds, then youâre much better finding out that information online. Presumably, youâre a good googler if download speeds matter that much to you. And if you know about LTE download differences, you probably know the iPhone X does a lot better in benchmarks and that Galaxy phones fail more than iPhone.
Samsung also misses the more significant point/issue here. The theoretical maximum 4G speeds of any device are irrelevant in real-life situations. Thatâs because those speeds are hardly available in real-life scenarios.
No matter how fast the Galaxy S can download stuff, itâs likely that youâll never miss that feature if youâre on a new iPhone. First of all, because you donât know how fast the Galaxy S9. But most importantly, because the iPhone is pretty fast at downloading and streaming things.
Samsungâs attempt to mock the iPhone over the sort of complaint youâre not likely to hear in an Apple retail store unless the iPhone is defective is clear proof that the iPhone X is pretty scary for the Korean giant.
