Samsung announced on Monday evening that it will host a livestreamed Galaxy Unpacked event on September 4, strategically positioning itself just five days ahead of Apple’s highly anticipated iPhone 17 event on September 9.

The virtual event, scheduled for 5:30 a.m. ET (2:30 a.m. PT), will stream live on Samsung.com and the company’s YouTube channel, according to an official Samsung announcement. The timing appears deliberate, as Samsung seeks to capture attention before Apple’s traditional fall product launch window

    Seems like Google with the Pixel event and now Samsung aim for Apple crowd in the US. Apple has been really lagging behind leaving an opportunity to convince people on switching.

      The only thing the pixel event is convincing anyone is that Kimmel is the superior Jimmy.

        The event was awful but my point still stands - google and samsung smell blood and believe they can convert apple users to android users. They are kinda right objectively speaking Apple was never as stagnant as it is today.

          They are the least innovative tech company listed. They are aimless and fear change. Apple Intelligence being what breaks them is unfortunate because they will take the wrong learning and take away their uniqer characteristic of being privacy focused.

          I would actually move to apple if they werent so closed down and boring, if they stay with on device provacy focused AI people like me would switch. Then again teir pricing is shocking.

            I wouldn’t say least innovative but they’ve been asleep for a very long time. Generally I wouldn’t mind it but apple is clearly dragging down the entire tech sector on purpose. It’s giving late IBM or Oracle

              In what aspect are the leading? Their AR/VR was their last innovation and it flopped. It was like the fourth of its kind to market.

                  Disagree on that, macbooks are pretty awful even with M processor line. The ergonomics are still stuck in 2005 which people are finally waking up to as being pretty important for something you spend 8 hours on every day.

      Wtf are you talking about, apple is nowhere close to 100% market share no matter how much they wish they were, and FOSS alternatives are sufficiently difficult to install that the vast majory of consumers haven’t bothered.
