They only pouring out all of the biases toward their competitors in the lowest way they could, that their competitors were all ignorant people doing ridiculous things.Ĭome to think about it, the most obvious reason to do these attacks is because their competitors did it first. In the cause of Samsung, though, that’s not the case. I don’t see they’re attacking anyone today. Smoothing out the edges not only makes your attacks sounds less aggressive, but also shows that you’re a good communicator too, at least you won’t make everyone around you looks way too bad.Okay, at least in the last decade when they rolled out the “Mac vs. Sure, they’re attacking competitors and not customers, but they’re still people.

Not always true, there are still bias about Windows from that time period, like the NT kernel are not as unreliable as what they’re trying to show.īut he’s right about “being funny”. I’ve never thought well of Samsung as a company and I don’t expect better from them, so this is just another thing to ad to the long list.

Not to mention that it’s based on a fake problem while the Mac vs PC ads are based on real problems.īut I don’t really care. They poke fun at the competition while the Samsung ad is aiming to more clearly demean the competition. At least Apple made their Get A Mac ads fun.Įxcept those Mac vs PC ads are funny. It doesn't look dissimilar to Apple's dominating position with the smartphone market. I don't think it was until Windows Vista was a market failure that they started going after that in some ads.īut look where MS was in the market when these came out. They just referred to it as "PC" and the "PC" was dumb, slow, had bloatware, etc. In Apple's brilliant Get A Mac campaign, most of their ads never referenced MS, Windows, or any PC vendor directly. At least in the Samsung ad it's framed as the iPhone being the problem, not the user. This was especially bad because it wasn't attacking a competitor or a competitor's product, but the customer. They had their infamous Lemmings commercial.
It is classless, but Apple isn't completely immune. Controversies so prevalent that the every day user knows who they are talking about, I would think, make Samsung look worse.not better. It’s sad that the only thing Samsung thinks of to try to sell their own products is to bash Apple. It’s just classless to make blows like that.
