Samsung pokes fun of Apple in new video series

Apple's biggest competitor, Samsung, is finding some humor amid all of the hype surrounding the launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

In a series of six YouTube videos released as part of Samsung's "Note the Difference" social media campaign, the company pokes fun at what it sees as some of Apple's shortcomings.

The ads feature two actors in Apple Store "Genius" attire as they discuss the latest Apple products.

"Two years for us to do something groundbreaking and here it is...a bigger screen!" the "Apple" employees exclaim.

"Wait a second, a bigger screen? All phones have a bigger screen," one Genius says. Samsung, of course, was an early proponent of big screen phones and has long offered larger options than Apple.

Each short Samsung video mocks a different not-so-genius feature, including the iPhone's absence of multitasking windows, lack of a stylus, and Apple's initial glitches with live streaming its event on Tuesday.

Samsung just launched its own line of new phones last week, featuring the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge, and also beat Apple into the smartwatch market with the six different models released this year.
