WATCH: New Samsung Ad Focuses on iPhone X Criticisms

Over the past 10 years, there has been no shortage of complaints about the iPhone.


Whether it's the long wait times, the size of the screen, or the lack of a headphone jack, with each new release comes a new problem.

So, leave it to Samsung, a leading competitor for Apple, to put out a new ad called "Growing Up," that uses those exact same criticisms in an attempt to sway users not to stand in line for an iPhone X, but instead invest in a Samsung Galaxy.

In the ad, we see a young man as he goes from various versions of the iPhone starting in 2007, with each passage in time showing his excitement over his newest iPhone, only to have a Galaxy user prove why their phone is superior.

By the end, the young man now has 10 years of wisdom, and as he passes by a iPhone X user in 2017, he has the satisfaction that he has made the switch to the Galaxy, thus ending all of his adolescent years of iPhone headaches. And somehow, he's officially a man.

Adweek points out that the haircut of the iPhone X owner at the end of the ad is meant to resemble the "notch" at the top of the new iPhone X screen, which has been a source of derision ever since the design was unveiled.

Historically, the Galaxy has not been as big of a seller as the iPhone. And Twitter was quick to point out that by Samsung targeting the iPhone in their new ad, they're basically giving Apple free publicity:

But for most, they couldn't get past the shade of it all:

But maybe it's not all bad:

And if Apple decides to retaliate, there are certainly things they could address:

Please SHARE this with your friends and family.

Girl's Hilarious Reaction To Getting Divisive Candy For Halloween Caught On Doorbell Cam

In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.

But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

MTG Just Admitted The Awkward Truth About The Republican Healthcare Plan On 'The View'

Speaking on The View, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke about sparring with House Speaker Mike Johnson over healthcare—and revealed that the GOP does not have any replacement for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) despite what Johnson and her fellow congressional conservatives tell the public.

Democrats have continued to reject Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open without considering an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.

The Flat Earth conspiracy theory is strictly a modern online movement, rumored to have begun as a prank, that gained momentum among people who mistrust authority through the power of social media.

There is a persistent myth that Europeans in the Middle Ages believed the Earth was flat. But that is a 19th-century fabrication to sell Columbus Day, not historical reality.

Nicki Minaj Pushes Back After She's Called Out For Praising Trump's Threat To Nigeria Over Christian Persecution

In his latest round of flinging things at the wall to see what will stick—to distract his base from the Epstein Files, his obvious cognitive decline, the mockery of the United States by the world, and the Republican government shutdown—MAGA Republican President Donald Trump unleashed selective outrage over a Nigerian internal matter on Truth Social.

On Friday afternoon, Trump posted:
