Can't really argue this in more ways than one.... About a decade ago for one of their conferences, they announced they changed their name from "Apple Computers, Inc." to just "Apple, Inc." on account that they don't sell just computers (they were also getting into or already into the iPhone, and when the Ipod Classic was still going on)Since when is Apple in the computer business?![]()

I'm worried that Apple will just rest on their laurels again. The next iPhone will just come out with a new shade of some their existing colors, slight bump in specs, they'll mention it won't explode, and charge $650+ for what's essentially the same difference.As tempting as it is to just gloat over Samsung's misfortune—I'm not a fan of the company—this story makes me wonder what it means about the safety of lithium ion batteries in general, especially when you consider similar problems with hoverboards catching fire. How close to the edge are iPhones and other Apple devices with similar power sources, and what's the outlook for safer battery technology?
