Sam Sung is a former employee of Apple. Recently, he changed his name to no longer sound like the largest competitor of his former employer. Surprisingly, his old possessions are worth a lot of money.
Sam Sung is a Scot who worked for Apple until 2013. As part of his job for the company, he worked at an Apple Store in Glasgow and later at another Apple Store in Canada.
Recently, he changed his name from Sam Sung to Sam Struan, no longer carrying the name of Apple’s biggest competitor. This was reported by the French colleagues from Jeuxvideo.com.
Another peculiarity, however, is that many people are willing to pay a lot of money for his old work tools. And the former employee donates the money to good causes.
Sam Sung sells T-shirts and business cards for a good cause
What exactly did Sam Sung do with his things? Sam Sung, or Sam Struan, previously sold his old Apple business card printed with “Sam Sung.” In this way, he was able to raise more than $2,600, which he donated to the “Make-a-wish Foundation.”
But that was not all. Later, he sold a frame with an Apple employee T-shirt, his old ID, and another business card. This time, the proceeds went to the “Downtown East Women’s Shelter,” an organization based in Vancouver.
Meanwhile, Sam Struan no longer works for Apple, but he is still auctioning off old products from his Apple days to raise money for good causes.
Samsung and Apple are always considered tough competitors
The two giant tech companies are always seen as major opponents, despite having completely different strategies:
- Apple relies heavily on its own ecosystem and on a handful of expensive and high-quality devices like the iPhone or the MacBook. Above all, the proprietary operating system is a unique selling point in the mobile market.
- Samsung predominantly tests many technologies and focuses on a wide range of different items: from smartphones to televisions to SSDs, Samsung offers numerous products.
Nevertheless, both companies continue to play around with this in their advertising and tease the competition.
Compared to Apple, Samsung is also much more active in the gaming sector. With monitors and fast SSDs, they appeal more to gamers than Apple does with its products. After all, Apple has now stated, that the new iPhone 15 is supposed to be the “best gaming console.”
A few months ago, Samsung introduced a huge gaming monitor that excited both gamers and journalists alike. What the device offers and for what price you can purchase the model, you can read directly on MeinMMO:
