Samsung not only copies Apple ads, but hires the same actress for their commercials

Wow, ok, say what you want…but even I’m shocked by this blatant form of copying! We all know by now the legal battles that Apple and Samsung have been involved in, we all know that Apple is claiming that Samsung is not only copying its design styles of it products, but also its look of iOS and we’ve even seen that Samsung is using the same power plug as Apple, not to mention using Apple icons in their own stores.

So would it surprise you that Samsung, for their latest Tab commercial, have ripped off Apple’s feel for their iPad commercials? Probably not, but it may surprise you to find out that Samsung has not only ripped off the iPad advertising but has also hired the same actress that has been in Apple’s iPhone 4S commercials.

This is just down right despicable and I’d love to hear how some of you feel. I know some of you will try to defend Samsung in saying that she’s an actress for hire, but when you add everything up, the picture becomes quite clear, Samsung is blatantly trying to copy Apple, is there any wonder why Apple is pissed and is suing?

Granted, Samsung has since pulled the ads from YouTube, but is this the reason why? While they haven’t said it is, we can pretty much assume.

For your comparison:
Samsung Galaxy Tab Commercial

iPhone 4S Commercial

So yeah…what say you Samsung fans?

I see NOTHING similar in the commercials, are you high?

According to your logic, Inception is a copy of Titanic because Leonardo Dicaprio was in both.

  So then by your logic, every major tech site editor/writer is high. We are not the only ones who feel this way. While I love Samsung, in fact, you’ll see how much “later tonight” (check the site tonight), they have been blatantly copying Apple’s every move. From charging adapters, design cues, software, hell… the even used Apple App icons for signage in their own Samsung store displays… are you really going to say they aren’t? This commercial and its “feel,” “direction,” and “narration” are mimicked after Apple iPhone/iPad ads. You have your opinion, which I respect, but you can’t deny the facts that are laid out in front of you.

    The store that you and so many Apple zealots mention is not even an official Samsung store. Anyone can open up a booth anywhere and decorate it how ever they want. It’s such an obvious thing, I can’t believe you the Chief Editor would actually try to make that a point.
    
    Charging adapter, LOL. Did Apple invent the square charging adapter? Do other companies need to make them spherical?
    
    Design cues? Apple sued Samsung’s tab for being rectangular with rounded corners. It was rejected everywhere in the world except one crazy judge in Dusseldorf. Even after Apple photoshopped evidence for which the case should have been thrown out right away.
    
    Samsung following Apple’s every move? LOL. Samsung made mp3 players before iPod, mobile phones before iPhone, and tablets before iPad. Now Apple aspires to make TVs. Who’s following who?
