Samsung throwing daggers
Let us know when you're done reheating our leftovers 😉September 9, 2026
Samsung has been known to throw jabs at Apple during events, especially when it feels Apple is borrowing its ideas. But for the newly announced iPhone Duo, Samsung didn't just throw a jab; it pulled out the bazooka.
"Let us know when you're done reheating our leftovers," wrote the SamsungMobileUS X account.
That's a vicious shot, to say the least. Of course, Apple is unlikely to fire back, as it usually takes the high road on these sorts of things. But if it did, I'd be curious what it would say. Maybe when the phone is released, Apple could fire back with some sales numbers (assuming it does well enough to justify that).
Do you think jabs like this are all in good fun, or do you think big businesses taking shots like this is unprofessional?

Hands-on with the Apple iPhone Duo
A few of the Tom's Guide crew was in Cupertino for the unveiling of Apple's first foldable phone, and following the presentation, Mark Spoonauer was able to get some hands-on time with the iPhone Duo.
His first impression? "Apple did it. It's the hardware and software that only they could really pull off."
