Apple launched a number of new products in the early morning of September 10, not only the new iPhone 17 series and iPhone Air phones, but also a number of accessories products. As Apple's main competitor, Samsung naturally switched to the "darling mode" in time. After the press conference, Samsung posted many posts to mock it on its official X account.
For the imaging capabilities of the iPhone 17 Pro Max, Samsung said that the gimmick is too big. Even with three 48-megapixel rear lenses, it seems that it cannot be compared with the Galaxy S25 Ultra in terms of specifications. Samsung even said sarcastically that the 48MPx3 still does not equal 200MP, implying that the iPhone 17 Pro Max lens has poor specifications and that the three lenses cannot match one of Samsung's main cameras.
Although the imaging capability of a mobile phone is not equivalent to the number of pixels of the lens, higher pixels do help improve resolution, and high-pixel telephoto lenses do have better performance in long-distance zoom.
Samsung also quoted a post from 2022, which mocked Apple for not creating a foldable screen phone even though it has been three years. Apple seems to be able to pass this aspect by holding on to it. Apple’s iPhone Fold folding screen phone is expected to be launched in 2026. Samsung’s mocking of folding screen seems to be this time.
Samsung also showed disdain for Apple's new headphones, watches and other new products, saying that Samsung provided the AI real-time translation of the headphones and the sleep rating function of the watch.
The mutual mockery between mobile phone manufacturers has been going on for many years, and the mockery between Apple and Samsung is even more exciting. After all, as a competitor, you must know where the other party’s weakness is.
