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

    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.

          Bro, what sort of hate-train are you on?

          You can dislike the iPhone, that’s totally cool and your prerogative. But making up lies just looks silly.

          You can’t install or update a single app on a google play protected phone without an account either, and now that sideloading is getting locked down your options are even fewer. And what’s this nonsense about no calculator? The iPhone has had a calculator since 2007.
