Samsung Takes A Jab At iPhone Users (Again) In Latest Teaser Video
The term iSheep has been around for quite some time to describe those who purchase Apple products for no other reason than the fact that they’re Apple products and to denote that they all look the same. While I believe every facet of life has its “sheep,” Samsung makes an obvious reference to these iSheep in its latest Samsung Unpacked teaser video where they use sheep to depict “everyone else.”

This latest teaser comes after a series of cryptic marketing brought us to Samsung’s new http://www.thenextgalaxy.com/ website. The site is basically a landing page for the upcoming Samsung Unpacked event where Samsung plans to unveil the next “GALAXY” — which will most likely be the Samsung Galaxy III. Users can register for updates and be notified when the event goes live in London.

There’s less than two weeks until the event and I’m sure we’ll be seeing plenty more leaks, cryptic photos, and Apple bashing videos. The video doesn’t reveal anything really, but here it is.

    Samsung has no interest in cross-over consumers, do they?

  • vistarox

    This ad is ridiculous. Android fans are as sheepish, if not more, then Apple fanboys.

       Yes, and most of the time they are rude prickish pricks who have never ever used a single Apple product in their lives.  Most of them are pimply faced 15 year olds who use tapatalk to post to forums in between classes at the high school.

        I agree with you, but isn’t calling them names and acting the way you do completely hypocritical? xD

      • DasithWijesiriwardena

        way to prove a point.. you are so mature :D

    • DasithWijesiriwardena

      all I hear is baaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

    Nowhere in the video is Apple, iPhone, or iSheep mentioned, so iPhone users that feel it was a jab by them would only get offended if it were true. ;]

    • SamsungAppleFan

      As someone who uses both oses i totally agree.

    • Cold_dead_fingers

      Yeah, nowhere in any Samsung video have the mentioned Apple, iPhone, or iSheep, but when you make an ad staring a line of hipsters waiting for a mysterious product, you’d have to be the most dull tool in the shed to think they’re not talking about iPhone users. Samsung is obsessed with Apple.

       So Samsung is referring to the Android sheep?

    • joewaylo

      I think they’re referring to us iPhone users as the sheep, since it’s the same old boring stuff in Samsung’s opinion. iPhone has hardly changed their operating system and remains simplistic which is what it’s Apple fans like.

      I might jump ship when my contract is up, but I’d have to buy all Samsung to make it DLNA compatible with Samsung stuff like their TV is. That is if it does AirPlay.

  • Zurkram

    Yeah, how’s that Galaxy Tab doin for ya Samsung?

  • msnight04

    I found it more interesting that they used music from Mass Effect 2 than anything else!

  • marioyohanes

    Geez… I got those “Apple guy”, “Jobs follower” and so on, but you know what, I always say one line to make them quite 
    “I make millions of dollar with Apple gadgets, so how much do you make from your Android gadgets?”

    • DasithWijesiriwardena

      You made millions? Samsung made millions off the iPhone. You know that Samsung made screens for the iPhone right?

    i’m a fan of Samsung but their marketing strategies are pretty morainic. Hmmm lets insult & make fun of people that like iPhones, that’ll make them want to buy our phones…..right?

    • giriz

      Yeah, what were they thinking …. just like Apple was portraying Windows users as Idiots in Mac vs PC ads.

      It’s just a joke.

      • Robert Cook

        Apple didn’t make fun of the Windows users. They made fun of Windows itself.

  • herbaled

    As much as I love my Apple products … and esp. Apple stock … I’m not at all offended by this Samsung ad. It’s an ad, after all …. albeit not a good one. 

  • DasithWijesiriwardena

    that’s not it. It’s fitted with a frame tohide the true form. Read the comments.
