Android on Apple phone? Samsung mocked for using iPhone to promote app

Recent popular Samsung and Apple phones look nothing alike, with the former flaunting hole cutouts for the selfie camera while the later has a notch for accommodating the front snapper and other sensors, though it’s rumored to ditch the notched display in the fall.

That’s why Samsung Community members were quick to point out that a recent banner image advertising new themes showcased an iPhone and not a Samsung phone. Community participants took swipe at the South Korean company by posting comments such as “Yes? Did the Galaxy have a notch? The person in charge uses an iPhone, so only the iPhone is visible,” “Android software on Apple phone haha,” and “It seems that there are some Samsung Electronics employees who do not use Samsung phones.”

Once Samsung realized what had happened, a moderator posted a message saying that the person who was responsible for the image made a mistake and that the image would be edited, which is exactly what happened. 

The image was then updated with a Galaxy phone with a pinhole cutout.

The company also had to delete posts poking fun at Apple for removing chargers from the iPhone box after it decided to do the same. Most recently, Samsung called Oppo’s foldable Find N “pretty ah-mazing” on Twitter but since the comment has not been taken down, it looks like the company was genuinely praising its rival.
