The promoted Apple event left a little taste among the followers of the brand.
Sensing this discontent, two of its two direct rivals in the mobile market, Samsung and Xiaomi,
took the opportunity to make fun
of the few news that the Cupertino giant introduced in its new iPhone
13s on social networks
.
To avoid legal punishment, both companies refrained from making direct attacks and appealed to irony: while the allusion to Apple is obvious,
it is not mentioned in any of the tweets.
One of the most controversial novelties was the variable refresh rate (Pro Motion) supported by the iPhone Pro (6.1 and 6.7 inches) and which
during the presentation was shown as a great advance
.
This technology is nothing new in the Android world, so the two competitors took advantage of the attention of the press to
remember that they have been available
for a
long time
.
Anyone else feeling deja vu?
Just us?

“Is anyone else experiencing
déjà vu
?
Or just us? ”, Said Samsung Mobile US through its Twitter account, alluding to the similarity
that the iPhone 13 has with the version of the previous year.
In another publication, he explained that the mobile phones of the South Korean company have screens, even in high-mid-range models, that reach
the refresh rate of 120 Hz of "a while" ago
.
Not satisfied with these insinuations, he published that "it would be great" if the iPhone 13 "could be folded in half", in an apparent reference to Apple's attempts to advance in the field of folding, where there are a few players who showed their designs.
"Imagine still having a notch in 2021."

He also criticized that Apple's brand-new devices still
have such a large notch on the screen
: "Imagine having a notch in 2021."
And in the following tweet he tagged the Galaxy Z Fold3, whose front camera is hidden under the screen.

Another of the smartphone manufacturers that apparently scoffed at the introduction of the new iPhones was Xiaomi.
"Friend, just don't do a very long event,
your clients may not have enough battery to see it until the end,
" tweeted Xiaomi Brazil.
IPhones have long struggled to achieve a day of autonomy with their computers.
And while the brand never offers details on the actual capacity, it
is speculated that it could be between 3,400 and 4,300 mAh
, depending on the version of the phone.
Eu bem full lembrando that laááá em maio lancei meu # Mi11, with 120hz fabric, 108mp main camera, 4,600mAh battery and 55W fast charger na caixa 😍 pic.twitter.com/Js0aPDNMyg
- Xiaomi Brasil (@XiaomiBrasil) September 14, 2021
While the standard for
high-end phones on Android is 5,000 mAh
, although this year it is expected to rise a few more points.
For this reason, he pointed out that, last May, the Chinese manufacturer launched its Mi 11 with a 120 Hz screen, 108 megapixel main camera and 4,600 mAh battery.
He also recalled that his device comes with a 55 W fast charger, while
Apple no longer includes a charger or headphones in the box.
This lack of ideas is relegating Apple to the global sales chart.
And although for many years
Samsung
was fighting the first
step, it was already surpassed by Xiaomi
.
The market share of phones in recent years.
According to Counterpoint measurements, the global smartphone market
grew 19% YoY, but decreased 7% QoQ
, as 323 million units were shipped, led by Samsung.
While
Xiaomi reached 52 million smartphones
, becoming the second largest phone brand in the world for the first time.
In this way, Samsung leads the table with a market share of 18%, followed by Xiaomi with 16% and Apple was lower with 15%.
