An unexpected situation in the tech world: on July 30, the official Apple Support Weibo account posted a video about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 model, and this incident became a hot topic on Chinese social media. Although it was deleted quickly, observers and users managed to spread the video, reports androidauthority.com.
In particular, Chinese internet users closely followed the situation: how could one of the world’s biggest companies, Apple, accidentally advertise its main competitor’s product on its own account? While fans are searching for the real reason, it is assumed that the mistake occurred due to the accidental upload of the wrong file.
According to technology experts, this situation is considered a serious information and image mistake for Apple. At a time when the launch of a foldable iPhone is expected in the market, the public release of a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 video is certainly an uncomfortable situation for the company. This incident has even sparked rumors that Apple is inspired by its rival Samsung.
For reference, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 smartphone was introduced earlier this month and stands out with its updated design, artificial intelligence capabilities, and improved battery capacity. The starting price of $1,099 remains the same as the previous model.
Apple’s foldable smartphone — iPhone Fold — is expected to appear on the market in the second half of 2026. This could make the competition in the market even fiercer. According to analysts, such mistakes show that even a giant company like Apple needs to pay more attention to internal content control policies.
Competition around new foldable smartphones, discussions on social media, and rapid changes in the world of technology are intensifying the industry's dynamics today.
