JAKARTA - Samsung has again made a sensation on social media after insinuating Apple's iPhone 17 launch by calling it the ZZl-note. This satire was uploaded via Samsung US's official account on platform X (formerly Twitter), as part of the giveaway promotion with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro prizes.

In the post, Samsung invites users to share the reasons they want to move to the Galaxy device, while inserting satire that the launch of the latest iPhone is so boring.

However, this cynical action backfired. Many netizens highlighted that the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 series some time ago was no less boring. The Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra only brought a very small increase compared to their predecessors.

In addition to the new chipset and additional RAM in the basic model, there are almost no completely new or interesting features. In fact, S Pen, which is one of Samsung's flagship features, has actually decreased because it is no longer equipped with Bluetooth.

Meanwhile, Apple in the launch of the iPhone 17 actually brought a number of interesting changes. Starting from the unique box-shaped front camera design, the super thin and lightweight iPhone Air model, to the iPhone 17 Pro which comes with a 48MP camera and lossless zoom capability of up to 8x. Although not revolutionary, this update is still considered a feasible improvement by many observers.

Interestingly, in the giveaway promotion, Samsung did not offer a cellphone from the Galaxy S25 series, but instead relied on the Galaxy Z Fold 7. This can be read as a secret confession that Fold 7 is their true superior product.

Armed with a slimmer and lighter folding design, as well as a 200MP main camera, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is indeed much more attractive than the Galaxy S25 which is considered too conservative. Moreover, Apple itself has not released folding phones, and it is predicted that it will only enter the foldable market in 2026.

Samsung's satire against Apple this time actually shows a funny irony: they call the launch of the iPhone boring, but the launch of their own product is not better. Netizens are also busy calling this action a satire failure' aka self-burn.
