Apple\u2019s official support page on a Chinese social platform has posted a Galaxy Z Flip 7 promo video, very likely by accident.<\/p>\n<p>Update: Apple has since commented on the event, citing a Weibo bug that misaligns content from other posts. This can cause media to appear from one author when it was never uploaded under that account.<\/p>\n<p>Apple Support has only posted Apple content. We are working with Weibo to understand how this happened.<\/p>\n<p>The bug caused Samsung\u2019s content to appear under Apple\u2019s account for one user who shared a video of the event, meaning this didn\u2019t seem to be a widespread event.<\/p>\n<p>Apple\u2019s support account on Weibo has since removed the post, but there\u2019s already some evidence scattered across social media. According to a post from <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/UniverseIce\/status\/1950373805064671468\" rel=\"nofollow\">@UniverseIce on Twitter\/X<\/a>, Apple\u2019s support account posted an entire video advertising the Galaxy Z Flip 7.<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p>The video is 2:20 in length and showcases most of the phone\u2019s features with One UI 8.<\/p>\n<p>There are theories that this was part of a social media management error, where the firm in control of the company\u2019s advertising efforts may have had their wires crossed. It\u2019s possible that both companies \u2013 Samsung and Apple \u2013 use the same advertising firm in China, and the full-length feature promo was posted by mistake.<\/p>\n<p>You can even see the correct thumbnail uploaded for the video. The image advertises the App Store, and the video is supposed to be educational on managing content for children.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it\u2019s hard to imagine the details were easy to miss through the multiple steps it takes to push to socials.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A mix-up occurred when China&#8217;s official &#8220;Apple Support&#8221; Weibo account accidentally posted a promotional video for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7, which was later promptly taken down. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CvxT0EVWx7\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/CvxT0EVWx7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 PhoneArt (@UniverseIce) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UniverseIce\/status\/1950373805064671468?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">July 30, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In any case, the slip-up seems to be a simple, but funny, mistake.
