Samsung Deleting Ads Mocking Apple Ahead Of Apeing Apple’s Features

Who uses standard headphones nowadays anyway, right?

A few years ago, Apple ditched the standard 3.5mm headphone jack. Granted, you could still use traditional headphones with your Apple devices, but it now took a dongle plugged in the bottom port to make it happen. And it seems Samsung is now to follow suit.

This despite an ad campaign launched around the same time mocking Apple for their practices. Everything from the headphone debacle, to the stupid screen notch, to (quite rightfully, IMO) their “Genius Bar”.

Well, now that they, too, are removing the 3.5mm jack from their devices (with the Galaxy Note 10 being the first without it), they’re also deleting those ads. Wouldn’t want to be seen as hypocrites, right? Now, the ads aren’t entirely gone from their accounts, yet. And a number are still on YouTube thanks to third parties. And they’re still available in certain regions. But still; bad show, Samsung.

Here is a sampling of the delicious morsels they’re throwing away:

Possibly my favorite of the lot. Certainly the one that stands out in my memory.
Irony.
