The LG Optimus G Pro features a panorama mode similar to what’s available in iOS 6, but it also includes an option take 360 degree panoramas, similar to what we’ve seen in apps like 360 Panorama that launched years ago.

Now, the latest TV ad promoting their VR Panorama mode takes a jab at an earlier Apple TV spot from last September that showed off panorama mode within iOS 6. The ad simulates an iPhone using panorama mode (and slightly mocks it), then goes on to show off the larger VR Panorama mode.

Here’s the Apple TV ad to watch first:

Last December, LG launched an Optimus G ad slicing Apple in half. What do you think? Is this a clever ad that showcases what Apple should implement for its next panorama addition, or is LG just hatin’?
