Apple iPhone Duo got Samsung and Google in an ‘ugly fight’
Apple’s launch of its first foldable phone, iPhone Duo has triggered a social media exchange between Samsung and Duolingo after Samsung compared Apple’s new foldable phone with its own foldable devices. What started as Samsung’s joke about Apple copying its technology quickly turned into a separate exchange with Duolingo, with the two brands trading posts over the iPhone Duo’s name and design. The posts have drawn millions of views on X, turning the iPhone Duo launch into another round of social media rivalry between major technology brands. The exchange turned the Samsung vs Duolingo interaction into a separate viral moment around Apple’s iPhone Duo launch. The comments were part of Samsung’s wider reaction to Apple’s iPhone launch on X.
Because apple’s new foldable phone uses the name Duo, the post was aimed at Duolingo. Samsung was also referring to the foldable design, an area where the company has released Galaxy Z-series phones for several years.
Apple, meanwhile, has continued to expand the iPhone lineup into new categories.
Samsung has previously criticised Apple for adopting features that were already available on Galaxy phones.
