New Samsung ad makes fun of Apple fans waiting in line for iPhone 5


Washington, Sept 20 (ANI): The war between Samsung and Applehas further intensified, as the Korean mobile maker released another advertisement that pokes fun at people waiting in line for a new iPhone5.
The commercial, which has been released on YouTube, is a sequel to the ad that mocks those waiting for one of Apple's new iPhones in front of the company's retail stores.
It points out that Samsung's Galaxy S line of phones has had 4G connectivity for some time now, that the Galaxy S III has a much larger screen than the iPhone 5, and that the Galaxy S III has Near-Field Communication technology, which lets users send each other information by simply tapping their phones.
According to The Los Angeles Times, the ad also tries to portray the Galaxy S III as a hip phone by frequently referring to it as 'the GS3'.
The ad shows a Samsung user waiting in the iPhone 5 line because he is holding a spot for his parents.
Last year, Samsung released a similar ad involving the Galaxy S II and the iPhone 4S, but the latest one is more brutal and lasts half a minute longer, the paper said.
Samsung has also released a print ad slamming Apple's iPhone5.
The ad starts with a slug line, which reads 'It doesn't take a genius'.
The tag line is a clear jab at Apple's 'genius' retail employees, and also implies that deciding between the two phones is very easy.
