This is not the first time that Samsung has indirectly promoted Apple without noticing and after discovering the mistake, stops the promotion. This time Samsung has promoted Apple in the app Members Its, which is installed on all Samsung smartphone users.
Samsung’s Community Manager recently released a banner designed to promote the One UI’s Themes. Beyond the caption which appears in the Korean language, we see three mirror sets of the company interface. To illustrate the estimates, they were aired inside three smartphones. Instead of these being three Samsung devices these are three iPhones. The banner does not clearly show that these are iPhones since the banner is drawn and not photographed. As part of the illustration of the smartphones, we learn that these are probably iPhones. The cut of the devices indicates the iPhone X or the iPhone Xs. It is difficult to miss the cutting lines of the devices in order to understand that these are iPhones and not Samsung smartphones.
After recognizing the embarrassing mistake by the app users, Samsung was updated and after a few days dropped the embarrassing advertising and in its place came up accurate advertising. The Android Authority website contacted Samsung for a response and replied: “Hello, this Galaxy Store. The person in charge made a mistake in the process of changing the source file of the design. The banner image will change and be replaced today. Thank you for your interest in the service Galaxy. We will try to give a better service״.
In the past, Samsung has made a similar mistake when it tweeted from the tweeter’s iPhone and not from a smartphone made by it. This seems to be becoming an obscene habit of Samsung.
