Samsung Pushes Galaxy Tablet With Same Child Actress From iPhone 4S Ad (Mashable)

In the Apple iPhone commercial (above), she's seen brightly dressed on the phone screen as photos of her are displayed to showcase the phone's advanced optics system and on-screen editing options.

The Samsung Galaxy 8.9 LTE Tablet, unveiled in August 2011, debuted as a 8.6 mm thin and 453 g tablet with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 8.9-inch display and Android 3.2 Honeycomb system.

Samsung pulled the advertisement from its official YouTube page, since publications have scrutinized the South Korean tech conglomerate's commercials.

We've reached out to Samsung for a comment.

The two companies have been duking it out since last April after Apple filed patent infringement claims regarding the alleged likeness between the iPhone and iPad and Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1. And an ad from Samsung late last year lampooned Apple fans.

Watch for yourself. Did Samsung blatantly copy Apple advertisements?
