I almost feel bad for their marketing team. What a lame thing to constantly have to try to differentiate your product by comparing it to the market leader.
Well that's Samsung's whole thing..... introduce every half-baked feature it can so they can pretend to be "first!" to obscure the fact that they've been stealing from Apple's R&D since 2007.
But but but but, Samsung fan boys will tell you they have 200gb ram on their phone 🤦♂️😂 and it still lags 😂😂😂
