Why make fun of existing Apple products when you could throw dirt on ones that haven’t come out yet? That’s Samsung’s latest approach in its newest TV ad titled “Screen Envy.”
The ad features two guys at a coffee shop, with one reading about iPhone 6 rumors and the other on a Samsung Galaxy S5. “Duude, the iPhone might be getting a bigger screen,” says iPhone guy. “That hasn’t happened yet?” responds Mr. Samsung.
The Galaxy S5 has a giant 5.1-inch display, and Samsung has been doing big displays for a while now. Apple is coming out with a 4.7 and possibly 5.5-inch iPhone 6 this fall. Good one, Samsung.
