After the "Far Out" event, which saw the debut of the new iPhone 14 series, Samsung mockingly took aim at rival tech giant Apple via its social media platform. The official handle of Samsung Mobile US said in a tweet, "Let us know when it folds," ridiculing the company for not releasing a foldable phone.
While Apple has not yet released a foldable handset, Samsung leads the market in the segment
However, the official Twitter account for Samsung Mobile US sent a number of cryptic messages that appear to be criticising Apple's iPhone 14 series.
Samsung made fun of Apple's boxy watch designs as well, claiming that the company preferred round watches since they are "classic."
"Nice. A little boxy, but nice. We prefer a round shape ourselves. Classic." the the Samsung Mobile US account tweeted.
Though Apple has not yet released a foldable handset, several outlets have claimed that the company is developing a foldable phone.
Samsung has developed a tradition of mocking Apple during or after its flagship events over the years.
In a previous launch, the South Korea-based company made fun of Apple after it removed headphone jack from its phones. The mocking continued for the notch, and even when Apple decided to stop including chargers with phones.
The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max received the most attention when Apple unveiled a number of products at the "Far Out" event on September 7.
In addition, the devices get stronger cameras and larger batteries.
