Samsung back on Apple-bashing bandwagon with new 'It Doesn't Take a Genius' ads

Posted to Samsung's YouTube channel late Wednesday, the commercials feature two Apple Genius lookalikes working in what is presumably a back-of-house Apple Store repair room. The pair banter about Apple's — arguably successful — keynote that introduced the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, Apple Watch, Apple Pay and more.

The first spot takes a jab at the keynote's live stream, which was non-functional for the first portion of the event. Later reports chalked the issues up to a coding error on Apple's webpage.

Next, Samsung dismantles the iPhone 6, making fun of the larger screens, lack of multitasking, multitouch input without a stylus and battery life.

One of the later ads, which rails on Apple for not providing a "quick charging" solution like the Galaxy Note S, works in a mention of nicked iPhones, a callback to production problems the iPhone 5 experienced two years ago. Dubbed "scuffgate," customers would find nicks and dings on out-of-the-box handsets. The blemishes were later attributed to quality control issues.

Finally, Samsung criticizes the hype surrounding Apple Watch. Quizzically, in bashing the wearable, the Korean company seemingly pooh-poohs the justification behind building a smartwatch. Samsung currently fields no less than five distinct Gear smartwatch models.

Samsung's video series is just the latest in a long-running negative campaign against Apple. In August, for example, the company mocked iPhone users, calling them "wall huggers," because they constantly need to recharge the handset's battery.
