Awesome! Such a crystal clear truthful advertising, love it! (unlike Apple, very msileading and fake)

Sad that Apple closed minded people still won't wake up after watching that... T_T

BTW, thanks for sharing!


*facepalm*

The ad is bullshit. Complete bullshit.

Yeah, the part where they troll the iPhone 5's headphone jack being at the bottom of the phone...  It doesn't take a genius to realise that when you have your phone in your pocket, with the headphone jack facing up, cord coming out of your pocket, when you grab the phone to take it out, it's actually facing the right way once you've teken it out.

But sure, people can blind themselves and believe it's not misleading.

What was misleading about it? they did not deny that the headphone jack was on the bottom, they just portrayed it as not an awesome feature and not a reason to release a new phone. wher is the head phone jack on the s3? I like the ad because it reminds me so much of apple ads.

The part about adaptors.  Make a quick search about Samsung's smartphone cords... They're guilty of that like dozons of times more than Apple, which makes it hypocritical of them. They barely present any fonctionalities (if at all) other than the sharing between SIII phones.  At the end, I know next to nothing about the SIII by watching that ad. I just know that Samsung is trying to piss on Apple.

An utterly empty ad, with no information at all.

So just like an apple ad. It really seems to hit home. They had some good info, they talked about the screen size, the sharing by touch, and that it is already released and out there, no waiting.

 

Its not the kind of ad i would normaly like, but i feel it fits perfect for apple and how they advertise.

Difference being that Apple does it while being informative about the features of their own products.

Well...what ARE the next big things we can expect from iPhone5? Bullshit S3 ad or not.
Is there an ad from Apple that compares itself from Samsung or Nokia?

Samsung and every other Android OEM have been using the microUSB connections for ALL of their phones for well over two or even three years now. You know the industry standard that you can get a replacement for like $2 or less. Unlike Apple that has forced its proprietary shit on everything and now is forcing you to change while charging you for each adapter you will need... or just replace those expensive docks.

The video, like the ads before it that are similar, is awesome. It always shows the same ridiculas things that iPhone people wait in lines for. Ignoring the fact that a better phone has been out for months.

Not everyone thinks iOS is the best OS there is. In fact a lot of people think iOS is crap, some think it's useless all they want is to make phone calls/don't care about apps while others (like me) hates how whatever you do you have to do it through iTunes. I used to have an iPhone and I couldn't customize it at all, couldn't change the ringer (no wonder every iPhone user has the same ringer), couldn't change tha wall paper, couldn't retrieve files from it like pictures, could do this or that... pain in the ass if you ask me.

Apple doesn't sell because people think iOS is good, they sell because of their great marketing.

 It a good reason he doesn't right? Cause you know there's a far better phone out there, android! Have you heard of it? Or are you one of those million who still thinks only Apple makes phones... >_>

I don't like Android... the UI is just a crap.

I prefer the iOS or WP UI... leagues ahead.

*yawn* to me as a non-smartphone user this seems like another all out war about which product is that ~1% better, while both being 99% the same

The Samsung ad is awesome. And it is more informative than any Apple ad I have seen before. And way better than the Siri ads, which were utter crap. Well Siri did not work right, but the ads showed a personal assistant.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
