Samsung announced on Monday evening that it will host a livestreamed Galaxy Unpacked event on September 4, strategically positioning itself just five days ahead of Apple’s highly anticipated iPhone 17 event on September 9.

The virtual event, scheduled for 5:30 a.m. ET (2:30 a.m. PT), will stream live on Samsung.com and the company’s YouTube channel, according to an official Samsung announcement. The timing appears deliberate, as Samsung seeks to capture attention before Apple’s traditional fall product launch window

    Some real fanboyism going on in here.

    Every Samsung phone I’ve had came with Facebook, onedrive, bixby, AR Emoj, and a bunch of other stuff. You can remove almost everything from an iPhone except the App Store.

      You can also disable these apps and remove them without root too (using magisk). You can’t remove a bunch of stuff from ios too and you can’t even use the phone without apple account. You can’t even use any other web browser that isn’t safari based - isn’t that crazy?

        That is completely false. You can setup an iPhone and place a phone call, browse the web, listen to music, etc without an Apple account.

        Insane how people get so worked up over other people’s opinions and reply with incorrect conjecture.

          Nope you cant download or update a single app without an account because many features like the app store requires and account.

          So you paid 1000 usd for a calculator and a phone call machine? Oh wait there’s no actual calculator either.
