Apple’s official customer-service account on China’s Weibo platform briefly published a two-minute promotional video for Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip7 on 30 July, an apparent social-media blunder that was deleted within minutes but widely captured and reposted online. Industry bloggers and tech outlets said the mix-up likely stemmed from an outside marketing agency that handles content for both companies, although neither Apple nor Samsung has commented. The episode highlighted the risks of shared digital workflows between direct rivals and drew attention on Chinese social media, Apple’s largest overseas market. The slip comes as Samsung widens its lead in foldable handsets with the newly released Flip7, while Apple is reported to be preparing its first foldable iPhone for 2026. The incident underscores the intensifying competition— and occasional overlap—between the two largest players in the global premium-phone segment.
