Samsung Trashes the iPhone (Again) in New Commercial
Samsung's back to its old tricks.
Samsung isn't shy about trash talking its competitors in its commercials, especially when that competitor is Apple. The company had a whole series of commercials based around Apple and its queue-loving fans but the company is taking things to the next level with its latest commercial.
This commercial takes us to Scott's graduation party. Scott and his friends are all using their Galaxy S4's to capture the party's highlights. Whether it's Drama Shot capturing a belly flop into the pool, S Beam to transfer photos, or waving to answer the kids are really making the most of their smartphones' features. Then you have the "old people" at the party. The parents, the grandparents. They want to bump phones to share, too! Except they have iPhones.
"No, yours doesn't do that," one party goer informs an older guest when she proffers her iPhone for a photo.
"So some smartphones are smarter than other smartphones" another gentleman inquires. "Exactly," comes the response. "What are we doing we these phones?" he then asks his wife.
Check the ad for yourself below. When Apple was running the 'I'm a PC/I'm a Mac' ads, a lot of people thought they were a bit childish. How do we feel now that the shoe is on the other foot? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
I can see a little quick jab (base on fact)... but it's really nothing to mention.
It's the basic theme: "My phone have new features. Your phone don't have them. You should buy a new one.".
Apple also use this theme so I see nothing wrong with this ads. I see nothing look like Mac VS PC ads.
Mac: HEY VISTA WHY ARE YOU SO FAT AND SLOW AND STUPID
PC: I DUNNO I"M DUMB AND I CRASH D:
Samsung Ads:
Old person: MAN THIS iPhone IS SO COOL AND TRENDY LOL
Young person: LOL DAD NOBODY SAYS LOL ANYMORE STFU UR OLD
at least apple is getting as good as it gave.
Mac: HEY VISTA WHY ARE YOU SO FAT AND SLOW AND STUPID
PC: I DUNNO I"M DUMB AND I CRASH D:
Samsung Ads:

So I guess you could say that the ads aren't working for me. One of the better ads out there for sure, but the PC vs Mac ads were better.

This is different. Samsung are pointing out 1 fact during the course of a commercial that is relevant. I'm sure if they wanted to spend an entire commercial or ad campaign for that matter talking about how inferior Apple's iphone is to their high end phones...they'd have no problem. They could probably do a completely factual infomercial on it...
The MORE interesting thing is that phones are far more alike now then ever. What Apple did was smart by building their user base for the last 6 years and now for me to switch to an Android platform is just too much of a hassle. So I will stick with a mostly inferior product because it is integrated better into other parts of my entertainment world.
Bottom Line. Well Done Samsung. Mobile users spoke and you listened.
Mine is like this nd the competitor's is like that? So what are you trying to say Jane?
This is very mild. I think it is a good commercial Very well done. Better than 2 two taling heads in PC vs Mac. On a pure impact and interest basis.
The others are clearly trashtalking their opponent and spelling their opponent name out loud (like Apple always do), while this doesn't do even any of that...
