Samsung is apparently looking to brush its ads calling out Apple for removing the headphone jack from the iPhone under the rug now that it's doing the exact same thing.
The company on Wednesday revealed the Galaxy Note 10, which, like Apple's recent iPhones, has no 3.5 mm headphone jack. This announcement immediately called to mind Samsung's ads making fun of the iPhone for this reason. There was, for instance, a November 2017 commercial in which an iPhone user switches to a Galaxy phone due to a variety of annoyances, including the need to use an adapter to plug in his headphones.
