As it was a big day for Apple launching their iPhone 6,
Samsung Mobile's Philippines crew sent out a tweet on Tuesday,
making fun of Apple for increasing the size of the screen on the two
iPhone models that were unveiled on Tuesday. The Apple iPhone
5s , Apple iPhone 5c and Apple iPhone 5 all have 4 inch screens. All
other iPhone models sport a 3.5 inch display .
The tweet by Samsung features a quote from the late Steve Jobs
which reads, " No one is ever going to buy a big phone ."
Samsung
then adds, "Guess who surprised themselves and changed their
minds."
The quote by Jobs goes back to July 2010 at a press
conference held by the then CEO, to address issues that Apple
iPhone 4 users were having. Holding the device in the left corner
was causing the iPhone 4 to lose signal strength , which forced
Apple to send out rubber bumpers to owners of the phone.
Referring to handsets like the Motorola DROID X, which sported a
humungous (at the time) 4.3 inch display, Jobs famously said that
" No one is going to buy a big phone ." He also called models like the
DROID X and the HTC HD2 " Hummers ."
And the Tuesday's announcement of Apple,left Samsung to remind
its rival about just how wrong Steve Jobs was about the public's
desire to buy large-screened phones!
