Apple’s well-known for its meticulousness was damaged today. This strange incident occurred on Weibo, China’s most popular social media platform. Although the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 advertisement, posted by the official Apple Support account, was noticed and removed within minutes, screenshots quickly spread.
Apple made a mistake on social media
Users made thousands of comments and posts mocking this incident, although it’s not yet known whether it was a social media agency error or a technical glitch. For tech enthusiasts familiar with the rivalry between the two giants, this incident prompted humorous comments suggesting that even Apple favored Samsung’s phone. Neither Apple nor Samsung has yet issued an official statement on the matter.
So, what features make the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7, the subject of this strange error, stand out? The vertically foldable phone, which starts at 67,000 TL in Turkey, is powered by Samsung’s own next-generation Exynos 2500 processor.
One of the phone’s most striking innovations is the Now Bar feature. This feature makes the cover screen (FlexWindow) much more functional. According to Samsung, users can quickly check the estimated arrival time of a requested vehicle, view the name of the currently playing song, and even check the latest sports scores, among other things, with a quick glance at FlexWindow.
This unfortunate incident has once again drawn attention to Apple’s own foldable phone project. Industry rumors suggest Apple plans to unveil its first foldable iPhone in September 2026. However, Apple’s first model is expected to be a horizontally folding device like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, rather than its rival’s vertically folding Z Flip series.
