What we’re comparing

Apple promoted a product and song through an artist collaboration; Samsung entered the rival post's comments. Reactions show attention, not product preference.

What the collaboration post did

On September 9–10, Rosé and Apple published a post promoting the iPhone 18 Pro and a new song. The campaign began by placing artist, product and music in one piece of content.

A rival entered through a reply

Samsung Canada's official account left a short rival-focused comment on September 12. Instead of starting a separate post, it entered a conversation that already had attention.

What the reaction counts cannot say

The reported 420,000 likes and about 3,600 replies as of September 13 belonged to Samsung's comment. They are not the same unit as the whole Apple post and are not product preference or sales.
