Love your iPhone? Samsung thinks it can change that.
The Korean electronics company on Friday introduced a
program called the " Ultimate Test Drive ," which will
allow iPhone users -- and only iPhone users -- to rent
a new Samsung smartphone for a period of 30 days. The
program is basically free: You only need to pay a single
dollar.
If you navigate to
SamsungPromotions.com on your
iPhone, you'll be able to choose from the Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
Existing Android users who want to try a new device are
out of luck, though the logic is pretty easy to
understand: If you're on Android and wanted a Samsung
device, there's a good chance you'd have one already.
But iPhone users who are accustomed to an entirely
different operating system might find that they enjoy the
dark magic of Google's rival software -- especially
running on Samsung's kind-of-like-an-iPhone
handsets.
Samsung and Apple have long been bitter rivals.
Recently, they squared off in a patent dispute over
certain phone and tablet models. And they continue to
vie for relevancy in a China's slowing economy -- while
Samsung sales have plummeted by 49 percent in the
country, a critical marketplace, Apple's have actually
increased by 68 percent.
