This isn't the first time Samsung has done the same after laughing at Apple's practices. Apple has abolished the earphone jack from the iPhone 7 that appeared in 2016, but Samsung has released a movie 'until I, who was an iPhone believer, switched to Galaxy' to make fun of this. However, in 2019, the Galaxy Note 10 also abolished the earphone jack, so this movie was also deleted at the time of writing the article. The Verge pointed out that while it's not necessarily bad for Samsung to do the same thing as Apple, it doesn't look good to make the same decision that the official account made fun of just a few months ago.
