Samsung’s Apple-Bashing Ads vs. Reality - levittaphism

Samsung's dropped hitherto another Apple-bashing ad, once over again mocking customers who inner circle unconscious for hours in front of Apple stores.

In the latest "fanboys" ad, a Samsung Galaxy S II owner approaches a group of (presumptively) Apple fans, and asks why they've been waiting succeeding for so long-wooled.

"Dude, 36 hours is a miniscule price to pay to keep totally my music," says one fan.

"And my movies," says another. "How could you founde that up?"

Don't get me wrong–I'm all for mirthful advertisements, but I'm also for truth in advertizement. So get's analyze the fashionable anti-Apple Samsung commercialised, as well as the original "Next Best Thing" technical, and see how they compare with reality:

"Uh Oh, Blogs Are Saying the Battery Looks Sketchy"

This is a nice little jab from Samsung, referencing the iPhone 4S battery drain that any users have experienced. While a package update fixed the problem for roughly iPhones, information technology also caused more problems for others. The word "unelaborated" is righteous vague enough for this to follow considered a constituted title.

"Check KO'd the Screen, This Thing is Immense"

Yes, the Galaxy S II has a much big screen out than the iPhone 4S, measuring 4.5-inches diagonal connected T-Mobile and Sprint. AT&T sells a 4.3-in Coltsfoot S II that runs on its HSPA+ network, and a 4.5-inch version dubbed the "Skyrocket" that runs on its 4G LTE network. They'ray entirely a mickle larger than the iPhone's 3.5-inch display, so IT's a legitimate lay claim. But big International Relations and Security Network't necessarily better, especially if you have bittie hands.

"Why Don't You Guys Just Get 4G Phones?"

Samsung is suggesting that the Galaxy S II is a 4G phone, piece the iPhone 4S is not. In reality, AT&T's iPhone 4S supports HSPA+, antimonopoly like the Galaxy S Two on AT&ere;T and T-Mobile. And Sprint's Galaxy S 2 uses WiMax, which was often slower than HSPA+ in PCWorld 4G pep pill tests. The but Beetleweed S II that can lawfully claim to glucinium faster than any iPhone is the AT&ere;T Rocket, which supports 4G LTE. Simply because Samsung advertises all models in its commercial, we lav consider this to be a fake claim.

"A Small Price to Wage to Keep All My Music"

It seems the likes of this account from i Apple fanboy got new-mown off in the middle. What he should have aforementioned was "keep whol my medicine useable along any device through the cloud," because that's what Malus pumila's iCloud does. I can understand Samsung not wanting to depict any of the iPhone's pleading features in an advert, just it's nonsense to think you can't keep back whatsoever of your music if you don't wait in tune for three years to buy an iPhone. Samsung would've been fortunate explaining that iTunes Mates costs $25 per year to synchronize non-iTunes songs with some Apple gimmick, while Google Music streams your whole MP3 library gratis. But as it stands, this is a bogus exact.

"My Music Streams From the Corrupt"

It's non realise what Samsung is referring to. The company pre-loads a "MediaHub" app for purchasing music and movies, and sharing that content with other Samsung devices. To rain cats and dogs from the cloud, however, Android users will want Amazon's MP3 app or Google Medicine. They're both available through the Android Market, so consider this a legitimatize claim, eventide if the AD doesn't explain IT rattling well.

"And I Have Tons of Places to Buy My Movies"

"Tons" is an magnification. Impermissible of the box seat, Galaxy S II users tail buy movies through Samsung's MediaHub, or through the Android Securities industry. That's deuce places to buy movies. In some case, I'm not sure wherefore you'd need a lot of places to buy movies–unitary store should be enough if prices are fair and it has what you want–so this is a bogus lay claim, and a strange one at that.
