Samsung schedules Galaxy event 5 days before Apple's
-
Samsung announced on Monday evening that it will host a livestreamed Galaxy Unpacked event on September 4, strategically positioning itself just five days ahead of Apple's highly anticipated iPhone 17 event on September 9.
The virtual event, scheduled for 5:30 a.m. ET (2:30 a.m. PT), will stream live on Samsung.com and the company's YouTube channel, according to an official Samsung announcement. The timing appears deliberate, as Samsung seeks to capture attention before Apple's traditional fall product launch window

Seems like Google with the Pixel event and now Samsung aim for Apple crowd in the US. Apple has been really lagging behind leaving an opportunity to convince people on switching.

The only thing the pixel event is convincing anyone is that Kimmel is the superior Jimmy.

Jimmy Fallon “hosted” the Pixel event. Besides being corporate slop, Fallon just sucks.

I agree he sucks, I didn’t know if he did something specific while hosting.

I’d consider switching to a Samsung phone if it didn’t contain a bunch of bloat. Don’t have ads in the operating system, don’t block side loading, don’t be loaded with telemetry. Don’t have software features in the phone that you need to subscribe for, don’t have in app purchases for the default apps that come with the phone.
If they get to this point, then they are on par with iPhone. Google seems to be closer, but they are behind in performance.
I’m happy to get a $700ish iPhone that I will use for 4-5 years.
If a phone has preinstalled apps that can be removed, I’m pretty much not even remotely interested.

The event was awful but my point still stands - google and samsung smell blood and believe they can convert apple users to android users. They are kinda right objectively speaking Apple was never as stagnant as it is today.

This is such a perplexing take. All of your worries apply to Apple even more so and yet you have no problem with that?

Other than telemetry, can you point them out as I’m not aware of those in the iPhone.

Ads in the settings app (for example Try iCloud!), ads and bloat on the home screen (for example Apple Watch app preinstalled even though you don't have one), side loading blocked.

iCloud is a fair point, but the Apple watch app can be deleted. Can Facebook be deleted from a Samsung phone if it’s preinstalled? Level 1 techs podcast occasionally mentions apps being downloaded to the phone automatically.
Does that stuff really happen on Samsung?

I'm sure he had fun talking about the amazing improvements they made to the Pixel 10; the checks notes new SoC. Everything else is is kinda the same.

Not going to shill for Samsung, it has it's problems, but to answer your question I happen to use one and I don't have a Facebook app. I don't remember if it was not preinstalled or if it was able to be uninstalled and I did when I got the phone, but I don't have the app. Either way there is definitely no unremovable third-party bloat. But there is a bunch of first-party bloat though, like Samsung Cloud, Samsung Checkout, Samsung Keyboard, etc, and it can't be completely uninstalled. I haven't seen any apps being downloaded to my phone automatically, but I'm not logged in to a Samsung account so maybe that's why.
