Continuing its age-old tradition of mocking Apple, Samsung has released a new Galaxy smartphones ad that tells iPhone users to come over to its Android phones.
The ad titled “On the Fence” is focused on highlighting how Apple always makes iPhone users wait for new and useful features that are already available on Samsung’s smartphones.
A user climbs atop an actual fence, which divides an Apple Store-like environment from an unseen paradise of nature. Another Apple user is then shown with an Apple Genius-like person, down to the fence climber’s report of folding phones on the “other side.”
“You don’t want to leave,” says the Genius-like man. “We’re waiting for all that to come over here.” When asked why users have to wait, he explains: “Because that’s what we do. We wait.”
“Time to get off the fence. A Galaxy awaits you,” the ad concludes.

Ha.ha..that is pretty funny.
Sad 🥺 but true lol 😂
Don’t understand the rationale of a phone I can fold in half, but then be twice as thick. What am I missing? An iPad might make more sense due to its already ‘larger’ nature.
You can’t see, but others can see. First, of all there is two different foldable form types. A foldable smartphone that just folds in half, and it always stays as a smartphone, like the Galaxy Z Flip 3/4. Then there is the foldable smartphone that folds from a smartphone to a mini-tablet, like the Galaxy Z Fold 3/4.
Apple will NEVER be able to create a foldable iPhone that folds into a mini-iPad. Apple screwed themselves with that type of device, because Apple created two separate versions of iOS, as well all know today as iOS for iPhones and iPadOS for iPads. Apple would have to merge those two versions into one operating system again. Plus Apple would have to now get their developers to create one single app that supports both iPhones and iPads.
See Google and their Android operating system is the same version for smartphones and tablets. Plus Google already encourages their developers to create one single app that supports both smartphones and tablets. That is why Android has foldable’s today, like the Galaxy Z Fold 3/4, and others.
Now Apple could make a flip type foldable like the Flip 4, or Moto Razr today. Because those flip type devices always stay as a smartphone, or in Apples case it would always stay as an iPhone. It’s just that Apple would have to support a smaller outer display, and let developers get access to it as well.
A folding phone would be great but that doesn’t mean we’ve seen a good example from Samsung. I wasn’t impressed by the one I tried. That screen on the Galaxy Fold is absolutely horrible IMO and I would never get used to it. I suspect Apple feels the same way and until they can figure out folding glass, I don’t see Apple making a folding anything.
Apple creating a foldable iPad that is the size of an iPad mini, and can unfold to a bigger iPad might be useful. But to be honest, I see this as a way for Apple to charge more money, and really not offer something that will make the foldable iPad really take advantage of it.
The iPhone to mini iPad would be a lot more beneficial. But Apple can’t make that type of device, because Apple went out of their way to get their developers to create separate iPhone apps and separate iPad apps. Plus Apple went even further down that path of separation, by creating a separate version of iOS for iPhones, and a separate version of iOS for iPads, called iPadOS. Therefore Apple screwed themselves from being able to create a foldable device similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 3/4 type devices. So Apple will NEVER be able to make a foldable iPhone/iPad device.
How come u don’t see anyone on the other side of the fence?? Maybe cuz there is no one???
The only thing I’ve seen Samsung do that I can honestly say is better is the bezel vs. crown scrolling on their watch. That’s nice. The rest? Meh.
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence – Samsung is always lusting over what Apple will remove next (headphone jack, charger, earbuds…) and then if their customers wait long enough – it happens to them too! lol
