Apple mistakenly posted a promotional video for Samsung’s new foldable smartphone on its official page on the Chinese social network Weibo, reports Pravilamag. Within minutes, the incident became the subject of widespread online discussion.
According to Apple’s official statement, the situation was caused by a technical error. A company representative said: “AppleSupport only publishes content related to Apple. We are working with Weibo to understand how this happened.”
Ironically, the text accompanying the Samsung phone video was actually promoting Apple’s parental control features. It read: “With parental controls set up on your device, you can manage your child’s requests to download and purchase through the App Store.”
The post quickly went viral, with users sharing it widely and making jokes. Some speculated that the error may have occurred because Apple had hired a summer intern. “Apple hired a summer intern, and they couldn’t handle the task,” joked commentators.
Incidents like this show that even tech giants are not immune to human error. Following the blunder, Apple may be forced to tighten control over the content published on its platforms.
