It’s nothing new for Samsung to post something on its Twitter account using iPhone images. The company’s marketing team has made similar mistakes in the past, and it looks like they will continue to do so. This time, the company referred to the Apple iPhone in its membership app.
An image that a Samsung Community Manager in South Korea posted on the Members app to promote Samsung’s One UI Galaxy Themes shows several Samsung themes on a stylized variant of the iPhone. You can see the post below:
It seems that the person who created the promotional image does not recognize Samsung Galaxy devices. Samsung’s social media marketing department may have made such a mistake, but what’s worse is that the Samsung Community Manager didn’t notice and sent the post.
iPhones (especially models with a display notch) have a distinctive design that is easy to recognize. That’s why the generic iPhone design is used as a representative phone in third-party app ads, even on the Google Play Store. This time, however, we’re looking at an image promoting Galaxy Themes and it doesn’t seem appropriate at all to show them from inside the iPhone screen.
