Along with the release of the iPhone SE 2022 a few days ago, Apple also introduced new colors for the iPhone 13, namely Alpine Green and Green. The presence of the blue color apparently got an innuendo from Samsung.
Why is that? Because Samsung feels that it has released a green color for the Galaxy S22 Ultra first. The Samsung Twitter account for the United States also mentioned this.
"Ultra? Green? We are truly honored today," wrote Samsung's official US Twitter, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
The so-called Ultra by Samsung is to poke fun at the M1 Ultra chip, the most powerful processor that Apple has just introduced. That is, similar to the name S22 Ultra, the most powerful flagship smartphone from Samsung.

The innuendo seems to indicate that Samsung thinks Apple is imitating the names and colors of its products. Apple fans immediately responded to the satire from Samsung.
Some say that Apple has previously issued a device with a green color before. Even the iMac that was released in 1998 was green so that it was Samsung who was accused of imitating Apple.
Some say that Samsung has also sometimes followed Apple's steps. For example, by eliminating the 3.5 mm audio jack until it no longer provides a charger in the new cellphone packaging.
"Aren't you the one who used to mock Apple and then imitated them two months later? Remember the headphone jack and charger that were removed," wrote one netizen.
The competition between Apple and Samsung in the high-end mobile segment has been going on for a long time. They are competing to launch innovative mobile phones.
