Samsung isn't about to let a significant court loss get in the way of poking fun at Apple fans. Samsung appears to be shooting another one of its commercials where Apple users are waiting in line for a device and Samsung owners wander by, showing off a Samsung product to surprised customers in the queue. We've received photos of a commercial shoot currently being set up in Los Angeles, and everything about it matches up with previous Samsung commercials. Samsung has once again set up a fake Apple store, replete with iOS devices, Macs, and even faked information signage. There are also cardboard cut-outs of smiling, fake Apple Geniuses wearing the exact same type of green shirt as in previous Samsung commercials. There are also faked app icons floating in the window, which match up with earlier Samsung commercials.

As you can see in the gallery below, the mock-up device in the window is a pretty poor representation of an Apple device, with unrealistic details throughout. The mock store was very detailed, right on down to fake informational materials detailing the product specs on the iPad. In fact, Samsung lifted Apple's original description of how Wi-Fi and 3G work on the iPad 2 for its signage. An iPad sign may point to a Galaxy Note 10.1 ad, but it's still possible (and perhaps likely) that the real target is the iPhone 5 — we can't say for sure. What we can say is that we're sure there will be no love lost between the two companies when the ads hit the airwaves.
