Gerben van Walt Meijer, Marketing Manager Mobile of Samsung Netherlands, said:
Samsung has a history of trolling Apple as part of its marketing initiatives. It’s previously tried to tempt Apple fans lining up at the store for the company’s latest handset with its own phones, mocked the iPhone X notch, and called out the iPhone throttling issue.
