I'm laughing because just this morning I was looking at my Roommates old Samsung tablet that has a connector that looks almost identical to the 30 pin Apple one. Forget a phone, Samsung copied a CABLE, Samsung's a hypocrite company.

You might want to go look up PDMI connectors there...

Which came out after the iPod 30 pin one, I never said Samsung created the cable, but they decided to use a cable that looks identical to an iPod one on a tablet that did it's best job to copy Apple right down to how the wall charger looks.

You may want to read this thread:
http://www.pocketables.com/forum//showthread.php?p=55941#post55941

Summary:
1) They're all 30 pin connectors, but Apple and Samsung connectors are not PDMI connectors. See thread for pictures.
2) Samsung's connector resembles* the Apple connector more with the exception that it's mirrored.

* Physically speaking. I have no idea what the hell the exact difference is between all these 30 pin connectors.

You guys misunderstand. Samsung is actually Apples marketing agency so if people didn't know the iPhone 6 was out, Samsung made damn sure they knew.

Best marketing firm of 2014.

LOL

This seems like an Apple ad, but the Apple logo is replaced with Samsung instead.

To be honest, this feels to me like an insecure teen being compared to a classy, confident teen.

Samsung feels the need to attack Apple any chance they get while Apple never retaliates back at Samsung.

LOL! Apple not attacking Samsung! That's funny!

The same Apple that even as of June this year was trying to ban Samsung products rather than have to compete with them? THAT 'classy teen' Apple? The Apple that ran a years long commercial that's only punchline was making fun of PCs rather than just touting the strengths of the Mac, to the point even Apple's direhard faithful had enough of them?

PUH-LEASE. Classic case of all dish and ZERO take.

At this point, Samsung ads are better than Apple ads. Apple used to have the best ads under Steve Jobs. It's horrible now. People need to be fired.
