Samsung mocks Apple's iPhone Duo as 'boring' in social media posts

Samsung Mobile US mocked Apple's launch of its first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, with a series of sarcastic social media posts, promoting its own foldable technology and the hashtag #ItsTimeToSwitch. The banter targeted Apple's device as unoriginal and belated. During Apple's "Surprise and shine" event, Samsung posted comments like "So far, so same" and "Let us know when you’re done reheating our leftovers," highlighting its Galaxy Z TriFold's triple-hinge design versus Apple's book-style foldable. Language platform Duolingo joined the thread, turning the exchange into a viral meme. Apple's iPhone Duo is priced at $1,999, while Samsung entered the foldable market nearly eight years earlier. The online exchange also included jabs at the iPhone 18 Pro's design and accessories, framing Samsung as the innovation leader.
