Following Apple’s launch of its new iPhone
12, rivals Samsung lost little time to mock the American tech company. Since
the release of the iPhone 12, Apple had been dominating headlines and had
sparked a conversation on social media with its decision to junk wall chargers.
Rival Samsung capitalised on the opportunity to diss Apple over the phone’s
absence of the key accessory.
Apple had implicated that its decision to drop
wall pin-charger and wired headphone was an eco-friendly manoeuvre. While
social media ran rife with memes and jokes on Apple’s decision to discard
chargers and headphones, Samsung capitalised on the issue by posting an
advertisement illustrating their take.
In a move indirectly aimed to take a dig at
Apple, Samsung shared an advert with the caption, ” Your Galaxy does give you what you are looking for. From the most basic
as a charger, to the best camera, battery, performance, memory and even 120Hz
screen on a smartphone.”
The advertisement
garnered much attention of social media website Facebook as users complimented
Samsung of their witty advertisement.
The image garnered around 17 thousand comments
from users and was shared 65 thousand times, with 86,000 people posting a ‘haha’
reaction to the advertisement.
Both the companies have partaken in hilarious
banter over the years. Samsung had previously mocked Apple with an advertisement
titled ‘Growing Up’ over its move to ditch the headphone jack when it released
the iPhone 7 in 2016.
