Samsung Belgium Will Give Out A Free Pear For Each Apple Tweet
“An eye for an eye”, or so you have heard, but Samsung Belgium has something cheeky up their sleeves. As you read this, Apple has already announced their latest iPhone 6 Plus, which is a device that is guaranteed to generate a whole lot of chatter through various online channels, including that on Twitter and Facebook. Apparently, Samsung Belgium intends to purchase a pear for every tweet about an apple, and these purchased fruits will be handed out for free to folks who happen to be at the Brussels-North railway station.
Of course, one might actually wonder why is Samsung doing this, and why not settle for oranges since the cliched saying tends to go something like this, “don’t compare apples with oranges”. Apparently, there has been recent bans on imports and exports to and from Russia, and Belgian pear cultivators happen to be in a precarious position since that would translate to an approximate revenue loss of 40%. This move by Samsung is to assist local farmers by purchasing what will most probably be a whole lot of pears.
To participate in Samsung Belgium’s campaign, just make sure you utilize the #aPearForAnApple hashtag whenever you tweet, and you are good to go. Pretty creative campaign for a win-win situation, don’t you think so?
Now here’s an iPhone 6S case that will certainly turn heads, especially when you take into consideration its name which is known as the OnePlus iPhone 6S case. That’s rather weird, don’t you think so? It will certainly take some getting used to before the name rolls off your tongue naturally. Well, we do know that The OnePlus iPhone 6S case can now be purchased for $19.99 a pop, and no, you do not need any kind of invite before you can snag one for yourself.
Each purchase will also be accompanied by an invitation to purchase a OnePlus X, just in case, you know, you would like to tread the Android waters. All in all, it comes in the kind of material as found on the OnePlus One and OnePlus X, which makes it a whole lot harder to lose grip of when you hold it – which is good!
If you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries
With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.
It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.
Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
