5 “Screen Images Simulated”
While Samsung unfairly pitted the Galaxy S9 against a four-year-old iPhone, it probably still had to “cheat” to get the Apple device to look that bad. You might notice a small disclaimer near the bottom of the ad that says “screen images simulated.” In other words, the lagging performance of the iPhone is undoubtedly a fabrication.
When the woman in the ad taps on an app like Wallet or TV, we never see those apps open. Instead, a white screen appears and the camera cuts away. Once, the camera cuts back to the still-present white screen. That seems to suggest that the iPhone is really, really slow. But even an aging Apple handset isn’t that glacial in real life.
