New Delhi: The mutual rivalry between Apple and Samsung is well known in the world of technology, but this time Samsung has made such a move that the entire internet was shocked. 'Tim Cook' himself was seen in an advertisement of the company and that too praising Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8. As soon as the video surfaced, questions began to arise among users whether Apple's veteran CEO had really started endorsing a rival brand. While on one hand Apple is trying to make its place in the foldable market, on the other hand Samsung is not missing out from showing in a light manner who has more experience.
Entry in exactly Apple style
The hairstyle, glasses and tone of voice of the person seen in the video seem similar to the CEO of Apple in every way. In the beginning he introduces himself as Tim Cook and says that he is from Palmerston North city of New Zealand, which is called 'Palmy' in the local language.

After this, holding Galaxy Z Fold 8 in his hand, he starts counting its features in the same manner in which Apple presents its products during its product launch.
Name is true, identity is different
The timing, background music and dialogue delivery of the entire ad are reminiscent of Apple's promotional videos. Actually the reality is that the person seen in the advertisement is not an official of Apple, but an ordinary citizen of New Zealand, whose real name coincidentally is also Tim Cook. Samsung New Zealand's marketing team capitalized on the similarity of the name and created an entire advertisement, which took social media by storm in no time. While sharing the video, people are praising Samsung's creativity. While on one hand Apple is trying to make its place in the foldable market, on the other hand Samsung is not missing out from showing in a light manner who has more experience.
Interesting competition in foldable segment
This advertisement has come at a time when Apple has finally taken its first step in the foldable smartphone market. The company has launched its first foldable device named iPhone Duo, the starting price of which in the Indian market has been kept at around Rs 2 lakh 99 thousand. Samsung, on the other hand, has been an established player in this segment for years. The company introduced its first folding phone in 2019 and now maintains a strong hold on the market through Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Fold 8 Pro. Taking advantage of its past experience and the entry of a new competitor, Samsung has created a new debate in the tech industry through this clever advertisement.
