Samsung has released four new Galaxy S9 advertisements to poke fun at the alleged shortcomings of the newest iPhones. One video, titled “Dongle,” seems pretty accurate, as Apple users are finding they need more and more adapters and cables to access "legacy" devices, particularly if they want to charge devices at the same time.
While the ad is definitely a parody of the Apple Store and the whole Apple Genius concept, it does sound surprisingly like a real conversation a would-be iPhone buyer might have chatting with a friend: "A dongle?" "Yeah, a dongle. It comes in the box." "But what if I just need to charge at the same time?" "Then you're going to need another type of dongle." "Like a double dongle?" "Yeah, a double dongle. I guess."
