JAKARTA - An Apple Support post on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, originally intended to promote an iPhone feature, has instead turned into an advertisement for Samsung's AI.
It might seem a bit "geeky" to know all the iPhone model numbers and their differences, and certainly most of the general public could be forgiven for confusing an iPhone with an Android phone. However, if you work for Apple Support, you should be paying closer attention—and someone there didn't.
On July 29, 2025, the official Apple Support account on Weibo posted advice about parental controls on iPhones—and embedded a video promoting the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7. The video wasn't even about parental controls, but rather about "the treasure in your pocket, AI."
Whoever posted it was probably using macOS Tahoe beta and Spotlight's new Clipboard History feature. And perhaps the last thing they copied was the URL for this video, which they intended to watch later.
In any case, they didn't do it for long. At some point, apparently with only enough time for one comment—and four likes—to be made, the post was deleted. The post was pulled down faster than Apple's "Crush" commercial, or the incredible "The Underdogs" commercial set in Thailand.
So far, there's no sign of any sudden job openings in Apple's China support operations. Although if anyone is interested in such a position, be sure to bookmark Apple's jobs page.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the company's 14th foldable phone since its inception in 2019. Despite numerous and persistent rumors of an imminent iPhone Fold launch, Apple has yet to release one.
It's possible the bored intern at Apple Support China who posted this post is someone who desperately wants a foldable phone.
