Two things come to mind: Samsung is hurting themselves with this childish ad. There are apple fans that own other Samsung products that may intentionally avoid their products the next time they purchase. The new iPhone may not do anything new that current devices on the market can do, but has the iPhone ever really done anything new? It's always been behind in technology but people love these devices because the software and build quality are so high. Apple's research goes into enhancing the user experience, not just throwing whatever technology is available into the device haphazardly. Both devices are good but you cannot you cannot deny that apple's build quality is much better than Samsung's plastic phones. That's like comparing the Ford Taurus SHO to an Audi A6. Both are good cars but I would much rather have the innovation, quality, and driving experience of the A6 even though the SHO is faster and has the MS sync technology. To each his own.

Just true fully Samsung has the better product, hands down. Apple knows it also as they buy products from Samsung for their iPhone , lol

Actually with new iPhone very lite is coming from Samsung. The A6 chip is custom designed by Apple and the in cell display is different from Samsung's on cell technogy is behind the in cell displays the iPhone 5 is using from sharp and LG. that's what makes this particular iPhone great.

Who started ? Were you around last year ? Thus is a long standing grievance and Samsung started this not Apple fans. Just to be clear.

Clear2Me - September 20, 2012 at 4:40am

I used to like their TV's but I'm not buying another Samsuck product. Ever. LG, Sony, so many more choices that are really better than Samsuck. Thanks for enlightening me.

AnalogBoy - September 19, 2012 at 9:40pm

This is so immature... Reminds me of petty high school, drama movies. No class, Samsung, that's why I don't intentionally buy your products.

Marty - September 19, 2012 at 10:26pm

Not about America or Asia. I'm an immigrant to this country and even though I love America, I dont have any reason for bigotry. This is simply about respecting the hard work of others. Samsung refused to pay Apple any licensing fees. Just dip your hand in the jar and take, no permission necessary? Why is that OK? They are taking Apple's IP, generating massive gains and market share and literally trying to bankrupt Apple. This is not acceptable in my opinion.

After watching this ad Sammy convince me to sell my iPhone 4S to buy a Galaxy S3. I'd also will sell my BMW to buy a Ford focus that cost me the same than my BWM. Oh! and sell my Bose speakers and buy a logitech that cost the same Poor Sammy. having to give Apple the whole profits for a quarter must be hard. Very hard A word of advice to little Sammy: Innovate. Try to do something completely different than the iPhone and see what happen. Innovation comes with risk of failure. Risk it.

ive owned 5 galaxy s III's and to be honest, its not bad at all, but to be logically honest, its not really that great either, galaxy android phones in general have a very mediocre OS base platform and features included aren't very useful, NFC for one seems more like a hassle than convenience (having to be next to someone with an NFC enabled phone) why do you think we have MMS? also the build quality of almost every samsung mobile device is even more of a joke, there is little to no effort put into design and using plastic housings may be durable, but gives the device a very cheap feel when holding it (I couldn't use any of my GS3's w/out a case, just didn't feel like a solid phone). not to mention the screen literally breaks like nothing, gorilla glass isn't as durable as you might think, I see more devices with shattered gorilla glass at my work than I do any IOS devices, those who like the S3, great for them, but I prefer decent build quality and jailbroken IOS w/100% control over my device, just sayin'

All the apple fans saying this ad is stupid etc are just plain butt hurt because Samsung is opening their eyes here and the truth hurts. That's okay though because if apple had ads bashing other companies then it's fine....Oh wait those mac vs pc ads...

Ricky - September 19, 2012 at 8:07pm

HAHA galaxy S3 had 9 million pre orders, last I checked that's way more than what apple came out yesterday and said how many pre orders they've had for the iPhone5.

Marty - September 19, 2012 at 8:10pm

Apple today is asking the judge to triple the damages based on a finding

josh - September 19, 2012 at 8:11pm

It's not customer pre-order. It's provider pre order, and now they are stuck on the store shelves collecting dust and spider egg waiting for you to take them

Marty - September 19, 2012 at 8:11pm

Apple today is asking the judge to triple the damages based on a finding of willfulness. The hearing will take place on Friday. Who is clueless now?

Ismael - September 19, 2012 at 8:12pm

I am from the third world country and it was available here the day it was available in US.

Marty - September 19, 2012 at 8:14pm

These are all direct customer preorder on websites. Apple provides only sales numbers. IRS Samsuck actually that only provides provider order numbers it is a well known fact to everyone except their ignorant Fans that they don't ever report direct sales numbers.

josh - September 19, 2012 at 8:20pm

Am talkin about Samsung pre-order. They never have on-line pre order for customer. Apple always has a customer pre-order from their website.

mvillarreal - September 19, 2012 at 8:24pm

Maybe, like the Ford Focus outsell the BMW's. More units sold are not necessary better quality, functionality or product. Cheers.

ignacio - September 19, 2012 at 9:00pm

Samsung is a pirate can not create your own imagination if you copy the iphone is not the same that a copy be original

ignacio - September 19, 2012 at 9:10pm

I look at how many people your comments and I laugh not compare a Mac to a PC is not the same one iphone vs samsung the iphone wins wherever you see, is a android vs iOS. SAMSUMG had to copy the iPhone because it will

asdf - September 19, 2012 at 7:37pm

love the new ads. it is totally true. only thing good about the iphone is the design. everything else is behind.

josh - September 19, 2012 at 8:09pm

Yeah, and Samsung is ooh so good because the screen is bigger. Do you know it's because they can't hide their gigantic battery and their humongous chips?

Sgtbanjo - September 19, 2012 at 7:28pm

First - The problem with adverts like this is that they pander to the existing fanboy customer but serve to alienate any possible new customers. "Hey Apple customer, Samsung think you are stupid" "Oh ok then I'd better buy one of their devices" No one likes being told they are stupid Second - there are people who DO NOT CARE about a 6 mile wide screen and a gajillion MB ram, NFC and all the other pointless junk that some manufacturers stick on their phones in order to make them an attractive proposition. I liken these to the people who are tempted into buying Jap Crap cars because they have every conceivable gadget you can imagine over a simple but elegant, sturdy German car with less gadgets but far superior build quality and engineering. Third - not everyone is the same. That is all.

Dan - September 19, 2012 at 7:08pm

That is so true, I don't know anyone who has gs3 :) I do know two people who has android and they are upgrading this time around to the iPhone

AC - September 19, 2012 at 6:38pm

APPLE fan boys say.. who needs that, or who needs this.. but next year the iPhone will finally come with them and then you guys say.. COOL, now you can use NFC, now you can copy pictures to other phones wirelessly, you can do this and that... that other phones been doing it for a while already... I like iPhone but they are way behind on some things... comeone it took them over a year to give you picture messaging to the original iPhone.. how crazy is that...

AC - September 19, 2012 at 6:34pm

This is true... next iPhone 5S or iPhone 6 will FINALLY have features that other phones have had for a year now... just watch!!

iBaylin - September 19, 2012 at 6:29pm

Childish. They shouldn't need to do this to sell their phones. Samsung been acting out ever since they lost. They should let the their phones sell themselves. I would respect them much more if they was more focus on improvement then getting back at apple. Actually that's the best way to get back at apple. But I got to admit the video is kinda funny. Still getting that iPhone 5 though.

Hemanth - September 19, 2012 at 6:23pm

Samsung don't know how to beat the apple.They are jealous about apple because of that they are creating these ads.Samsung is a copy cat.

NVPZ - September 19, 2012 at 9:31pm

Tell me something Samsung copied from Apple. Oh, and you sound mad.

Javier Oyola - September 19, 2012 at 6:23pm

If they are looking to get iPhone costumers, this probably is NOT the best way...

V123 - September 19, 2012 at 6:22pm

I luv Samsung but I mean c'mon... Again? We know u 'dislike' apple...!

Kolom - September 19, 2012 at 6:22pm

Kinda funny........bt I Stl luv my iPhone

Justin - September 19, 2012 at 6:21pm

This almost comes across as desperate...
