Samsung has mocked Apple's newly-unveiled green smartphones by suggesting they are a very similar shade to its own Galaxy S22 Ultra.
Earlier this week Apple announced that its iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro would be available for pre-order in the new green colour from tomorrow (Friday).
But the South Korean tech giant appeared to hint that its Silicon Valley competitor had taken inspiration from its own products, tweeting: 'Ultra? Green? We're feeling sincerely flattered today.'
The Ultra reference is also linked to Apple's unveiling of the M1 Ultra, the most powerful silicon chip the company has ever made.

Others pointed out that Samsung had followed Apple in getting rid of the in-box charger and 3.5mm audio jack.
Replying to the Samsung tweet, one Twitter user wrote: 'Aren't you the company that mocks Apple then copies them 2 months later?
'*Cough* headphone jack and included charger *Cough*'
