Apple’s Weibo account mistakenly shared a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 promo video.
Although Apple quickly deleted the post, it was online long enough to be seen and saved by many users.
The incident comes as Apple’s own foldable iPhone is still a year away.
In a rare and unexpected blunder, Apple’s official support account on Chinese platform Weibo accidentally posted a promotional video of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7. Although Apple quickly deleted the post, it was online long enough to be seen and saved by many users. The incident has since gone viral. Well-known leaker Ice Universe shared a screen recording of Apple’s mistake on X (now deleted).
SurveyWhile the exact cause of the error is unknown, it appears to be a simple mix-up by someone from Apple’s social media team. Still, such a slip is highly unusual for a company like Apple.
The timing also adds to the embarrassment. Apple’s first foldable iPhone, rumoured to be called the iPhone Fold, is still at least a year away from launch. Leaks suggest it could arrive in late 2026 with a 7.8-inch foldable display and a 5.5-inch outer screen.
With this accidental shoutout from Apple, it’s safe to say the Galaxy Z Flip 7 got a little extra publicity.
