  "account": "A Samsung-sponsored Instagram video has taken aim at Apple’s iPhone Duo, mocking the new device with a humorous, sliced apple comparison. The cheeky ad highlights the Galaxy Z Fold 8’s sleeker and lighter design, reigniting online rivalry between Samsung and Apple. This jab comes as Apple’s first foldable phone has faced early reports of screen cracks and durability issues. Samsung isn’t holding back on its playful jab, capitalizing on the iPhone Duo’s early struggles. The Instagram video, a paid partnership with Samsung, aired last week, showcasing a green apple sliced down the middle. The halves attempt to fold into each other before revealing the Galaxy Z Fold 8, which boasts a slimmer and lighter design.",
