Many of them are even going back to older Samsung phones such as the Note 4 or even S2-3. I keep all my old phones just for this reason.
Got a tip for us?

And here's another one. So you're saying nothing but the Note 7 was a worthy competitor to iphone?
What's correct? That didn't make any sense in the context of what you replied to.
Were they not trying before?
I don't think people with the "Apple is coasting because they have no competition" angle have really thought the implications of what they're saying.
It's unlikely that the batteries themselves were "bad", as Samsung switched battery suppliers for the replacement Note 7's with seemingly little change in the malfunction rate. It's far more likely that something else about the phone's design impacted the batteries.
Any li-ion battery can explode under the right (or wrong) conditions. Millions of Samsung SDI batteries are out in the wild in phones that do not explode.
Future profits, when your competitor is driven out of the area, or when there are enough customer recognizing your brand and you can add more and more profits onto your products, GRADUALLY.
Still using the awesome 2012 Note 2 as a backup which is better than iPad Pro 9.7" but pocketable with better foreground and background multitasking, Kit Kat that's still more advanced than iOS 10 and doesn't springboard crash with over 3000 hours uptime. The original Korean Samsung SDI battery lasted four years before losing capacity.
Slower than an iphone 5. "Better than an ipad pro". Lmao you live in a fantasy world

In retrospect this image is like the scene in Superman where he (iPhone) kneels before Zod (Samsung) and Zod thinks he has won but then Superman crushes Zods hand (Note 7) and then stands up with a smirk on his face and tosses Zod to his death!And the Karmic circle closes nicely.
Yeah, I should have read your whole subthread on this question instead of making a guess from the last post in that thread.You seem to have misinterpreted what you've read. I wasn't the one asking that question. I was one answering it in a previous post. Bolded: I can simply look at their suppliers list.
And the Karmic circle closes nicely.
Errr. You do know that Samsung didn't do that image.
And speaking of Karma, aren't all you guys who are gloating over this, worried you're going to jinx Apple now? If anything happens with them, it'll be on your heads!

Yes, I wonder how they managed to do this, "amazing". This was the single most stupid thing they could possibly do; didn't they do any product testing before the launch at all? Well, I don't like Samsung phones, but their TV's are still good products............yeah, I pushed my chair just a feet further from it, don't know why

The smell, you know that Note 7 smell.

No worries mate. I've done that more times than I can count. Nobody's perfect. Well, 'cept maybe my wife. At least that what she tells me.
Yeah, and I still use Apple products but I don't have an IQ below 90 to think everything Apple does is without question the best ever. Criticism of Apple is warranted in a lot of areas, don't pretend like it's not.
Explosions aside, planning your product release just to beat your competitor to market by a hair shows a supreme insecurity and lack of confidence in your own product. Period. They know/fear they won’t hit the same numbers if they waited a couple months because a good number of people already bought the competitor product. They rely too heavily on counting on people being on the fence about upgrading the competitor product on release and maybe they can pull them away.
OK, back to explosions.

Yeah and I use Gmail but I don't sit on Googlerumors all day long calling people morons because they use Android. (And you presumably don't consider Google or Android beyond criticicism, do you?) Until that day, the irony meter is off the charts when you call people fanboys
still, his point is valid.

I think regardless of how confident you are with your product, it's always good to be first. especially if it's a product operating in a mutually exclusive space.
If I need to buy a phone, I will buy the best phone available today. For a long time, that 'best' phone has been Apple.
