Samsung's Ad Features Tim Cook Look-Alike Promoting Galaxy Z Fold 8
In a new advertisement, Samsung features a New Zealand man named 'Tim Cook' who closely resembles Apple’s former CEO. The ad mimics Apple’s cinematic product launch style and includes the doppelgänger saying “the future is here,” while promoting the Galaxy Z Fold 8. This comes as Apple announced its iPhone Duo. The ad serves as a playful jab at Apple, continuing Samsung's long-standing tradition of teasing its rival in marketing campaigns. Past examples include ads mocking Apple’s Genius Bar and product launch lines. The latest spot also references Tim Cook’s updated profile picture on social media platforms. Samsung has historically used humor to highlight differences between their products and those from Apple, such as the inclusion of headphone jacks or fast chargers that were once absent in iPhones.
