Samsung pokes fun at Apple's new iPhones in their new ads.

The South Korean tech giant recently released a series of ads attacking every aspect of the Apple's launching event, including its live stream dilemmas, screen size upgrade, and Apple Watch. The company released not one but six ads mocking its rival.

The ads featured two actors dressed as "Apple Geniuses" working on what seemed to be the back of an Apple Store. Everywhere in the ad, devices resembling Apple's own can be seen.

The first ad talks about the live stream woes, which was an embarrassment for Apple. For those who do not know, Apple's live stream of its launching event was full of mishaps such as intermittent video, Chinese dub, and two songs playing on top of each other.

The second ad shows the two "Apple Geniuses" eagerly anticipating something extraordinary and mind-blowing from the launching event. The keynote showed off the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus with larger screens. The two were in awe until they came to their senses.

The following ads try to point out that Samsung devices are better than Apple's, and they boast some of the features of Samsung products, such as Fast Charging Mode, Multi Window multitasking, and the Galaxy Note's S Pen stylus. This is not the first time that Samsung has poked fun at Apple and its devices.

Still, a lot of waiting fans are itching to get their hands on the new smartphones from Apple.  Consumers may want to wait longer, however, or they may want to do some careful comparison between products before making a purchase.

Pre-orders for the new iPhones started on  Sept. 12 and will be on sale on Sept. 19. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are available for $199 and $299, respectively, under a two-year contract with a carrier. Apple recently released the new Apple Watch alongside the smartphones. The Apple's wearable device costs $349.
