Here's a hilarious rip off from Dell from 2009. So Dell uses honest materials that have a temperature to them because they're real metal and real glass.
Please, someone with the right tools make a side-by-side video showing Apple ads and all the things ripped from them to make this Samsung ad. Or at least lets get a list going of things you spotted. I'll start:
- The milling machines cutting metal.
- The coordinate measuring machine checking dimensions of a part.
- The end shot of extruded metal (aluminum) like in the Apple Watch metal videos.
And what about the tooling shot (below) it looks like a part from a $2 Indian bicycle pump.
That's not marketing. You gotta sex it up. Make that $2 Indian bicycle part look like a $2 million part crafted by digital artisans. " src="http://forums-files.appleinsider.com/images/smilies//lol.gif" />
Here's the same photo, lit with "hero lighting," ready for advertising:
Far from it. A-dud would be the one who is butt-hurt, from the injections. I do derive pleasure from the highest-paid team in baseball losing so often, though. Let's see if the NYY pay A-dud his $6M bonus, too.

Maybe Samsung is trying to mimic the NYY by losing so much yet still making the most money.
While it is indeed shameless and pathetic copying from Samsung, it should be noted that this "is" their self-described culture. I saw an in-depth media piece on Samsung years ago (before the rise of the smartphone - when they were competing more with Sony in the CE space), and the Samsung spokespersons were very clear to outline their business approach as a "fast follower". They look at markets that are growing quickly, and bring their corporate vertically integrated resources to bear to emulate what the leader is doing, but with a bit lower price. This is how they took on Sony in TV's, DVDs, etc. And you can see the same approach with smartphones.
It isn't illegal to be a "fast follower", but no one can claim that Samsung is innovative at anything except being that.
By the way, where is Google Guy to tell us that, in fact, Apple's ads aren't original and that some XYZ firm was doing this type of ad years before Apple? And that Samsung might be copying firm XYZ, but not Apple.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
...with Appleness!
(Meanwhile, Apple is obsessed over thinness)

The British accent...
This thinness "obsession" of Apple's is a cliché.
Electronic technology has always had a built-in mandate to minimize space used, thus integrated circuits, Moore's Law, etc.
Nature has the same mandate. You want to say that DNA is the result of an obsession, go ahead.
Samsung... making it possible for a smartphone to bend even easier.
You should send this still to Gruber. Please send this still to Gruber.
Don't bother. Gruber is more interested in glorifying steroid monsters.

Post #7...
I wonder if Samsung's production company had a selection of voiceover actors with different accents to choose from.
Seems like an odd coincidence that they're both using British guys... dontcha think?
Well... it's not so weird for Apple... since they have a British guy working for them.
But Samsung?
