6 It’s a Four-Year-Old iPhone!
This isn’t, strictly speaking, an error with the ad — but it is pretty sneaky and unfair on Samsung’s part. If the latest and greatest Galaxy is so great, you’d expect the company to pit it against the iPhone X..
But no, the Apple handset in the ad is an iPhone 6.
That’s a device that’s nearly four years old. Of course, the move is intentional: Samsung knows that the Galaxy S9 just can’t beat an iPhone X in a straight-out speed race. And sure, the point of the ad is Apple’s throttling of older devices. But still, any newer phone would be an “upgrade” over a device released four years ago.
