Oh, you knew this was going to happen. Samsung is not taking the release of the iPhone 5 lying down. A new ad declares Apple's phone isn't genius.
I don't think they've kissed and made up yet.
I don't even think they're talking.
When one party embarrasses another so badly -- and in public -- you don't expect the hurt one to just take it, do you?
And so Samsung is greeting the arrival of the iPhone 5 with an ad that will run tomorrow in certain national and local newspapers (how modern). It is not a flattering ad. It suggests that the iPhone 5 isn't even good enough to be, well, a copy of the Galaxy S3.
Clearly, it's been hastily put together, but its headline -- "It doesn't take a genius" -- rather prepares you for what follows.
Yes, it's a list of all the fine, rational reasons why the Galaxy S3 is vintage port compared to the iPhone 5's wine-in-a-box.
