Samsung shades Apple’s iPad commercial flop
Every so often, a company manages to inject a bit of humor into the conversation about late-stage capitalism. Take Samsung, for example, who had the perfect comeback to Apple’s latest advertisement.
In a recent commercial, Apple caused a bit of a stir by showcasing the creativity of their iPad Pro through a video of a massive hydraulic press crushing various objects. While the ad was visually stunning, it also sparked criticism for its portrayal of decadent waste in a time of economic struggle.
But Samsung had the last laugh with their response on Twitter: “We would never crush creativity.” It was a clever way to poke fun at Apple while promoting their own products.
While both companies may have their flaws, the humorous exchange between them offers a brief moment of levity in a world filled with serious issues. And who knows, maybe a friendly rivalry between Apple and Samsung could provide some much-needed entertainment amidst the chaos of our reality.
