Samsung Overcomes Apple As Korean Army Prohibits iPhone
Since the South Korean army is banning the use of Apple iPhones, Apple’s boat appears to be sinking.
Again, Samsung won the cold war with Apple since the South Korean army prohibited the iPhones, effective June 1, but Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones will be exempt from the ban.
Previously, the Chinese government banned the use of Apple iPhones in government offices, and now the report has revealed that the same approach is under consideration by the South Korean army. It has become known that the South Korean army is considering banning the Apple iPhone regarding some security issues.
It is reported that, starting from military headquarters, a potential comprehensive ban is possible to extend to all subordinate units. If the reports are to be believed, Korea’s Air Force headquarters internally announced a complete restriction on any device capable of voice recording applications that does not allow third-party applications to control foreign functions.
This new regulation will be effective June 1, with “iPhones” cited as items subject to the guidance. Android smartphones, especially the Samsung Galaxy, will be exempt from the ban. The document expressly states that “bringing in iPhones will be completely prohibited.”
In the scenario where the ban is extended to all subordinate units, it would surely affect almost 500,000 military personnel.

Samsung is adding one more functionality, ‘Relumino Mode’, from its smart TVs to its Galaxy smartphones for users’ overall viewing experience.
The Korean giant introduced the Relumino Mode feature on Samsung Smart TVs, which enhances the viewing experience for people with low vision. It improves particular parts of the content on the TV’s display, such as contrast, color, and sharpness. Now the giant has decided to bring Relumino, an accessibility feature, from TVs to particular Galaxy smartphones, which it initially showed off at CES 2023.
Somewhere, Relumino Mode’s functionality and features appear similar to the color contrast setting that was earlier available to access now with Android 15 Beta 2. In a new blog post, Samsung wrote, “Relumino Mode is the product of years of research and development to advance Samsung’s goal of providing “Screens for All” and improving the viewing experience for those with limited vision,” which highlights a range of accessibility features that it delivers.
However, at the moment, it’s not clear whether this feature needs specific display hardware or if it’s purely a software-side update. According to Samsung’s blog post, the Galaxy S24 series “and beyond” should be able to access Relumino Mode now. The feature appears on the Galaxy S23+ devices that are running One UI 6.1, but unfortunately not on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 or the Galaxy Z Fold 4, even after running the same interface.
Owners of Galaxy phones with One UI 6.1 can easily check if the new convenient mode is available on their device or not by just following the steps mentioned here: go to Settings >> Accessibility >> Vision Enhancements >> Relumino outline.
On the other hand, Apple also introduced new accessibility features that should land later this year, which include eye tracking to control iPhones and iPads.

Samsung and Apple are the two biggest rivals of each other in the tech industry, as both brands never miss the chance to put down each other’s firm. Now the Korean giant has published a new commercial for its current flagship tablet, and the key reason behind this is pretty clear: to throw a dig at the competition.
Apple introduced a new iPad at a lunch event on May 7th. During the event, the giant also showed a commercial called ‘Crush’ that resulted in a lot of controversy.
Apple showcases a hydraulic press physically crushing musical instruments, paints, books, camera lenses, and more ahead of evidently revealing an iPad Pro, unfortunately, which backfired. Creative professionals saw a profound sense—a metaphor for technology replacing traditional forms of creativity. Many felt the impoliteness of artists and their professions, especially considering the rise of AI-powered art creation.
However, every single person is free to have their own opinion, but Apple’s intention was beyond question—not this, but more to show how the new device in the house was able to encompass a whole series of tools and elements. Not only this, but the firm was forced to apologize publicly, removing the commercial from television publication.
On the other hand, Samsung took all this fuss as a golden opportunity and capitalized on Apple’s controversial “Crush” ad, and Samsung released a counter-ad in which a musician walking through the wreckage left by Apple’s hydraulic press then picked up a partially destroyed guitar and started playing music. The center-worthy point of the ad is a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra housed on a tripod nearby.
