"There is no evidence that this incident is related to the new Note7. We are working with the authorities and Southwest now to recover the device and confirm the cause."
The official report I heard was that they stuck too big a battery and that the case was pinching a cable that caused the fire. The thought therefore was to replace it with a smaller battery that would not have the pinch issue. I can only assume that they did not replace with a small enough battery or did a shoddy job of it.I'm no fan of Samsung, but this is awful for them, and I feel bad for people whose property has been destroyed or who have been injured by these devices. I think this will forever go down as the worst phone ever made.
That being said--we haven't been given much REAL concrete information on exactly WHAT is causing this defect other then the "rushed to market" stories. I'm curious to find out what the whole story behind the exploding batteries is. We will find out the real truth in a year or two.
A what?Well, at least it has a headphone jack.![]()
I almost feel bad for Samsung.

No it won't. People who have a note 7 now will replace it and continue using it.THIS will forever tarnish the Samsung brand and could not have come at a better time for Apple.
Just look at the picture of the burnt phone from the verge. It looks like the name on it is samsung, but its a bit blurry. It could say, smartass or something else. So Samsung has a point, the evidence is not clear.According to comments on The Verge, a Samsung representative said this in response:
Go ahead, Samsung. Keep rubbing salt right in your wound.
Your product catches fire, which it is known to do, but you say there is no evidence it's related to your product that caught fire?
What?

Whatever. Look how many things are MUCH more important than this that people soon forget. Espionage, political scandal that leads to loss of life etc. etc, and you’re talking about Samsung products....in your opinion. I will never ever buy a Samsung product.
Except that it looks like their washing machines are starting to blow up too.
How about exploding washing machines!Ouch... I wonder how it can get any worse for Samsung![]()
This is bad for everybody. Samsung is dealing with the brunt of the problem right now, but Apple isn't immune to stuff like this. Even if Samsung was ever so slightly more aggressive in pushing the envelope than Apple is, it just means Apple is only ever so slightly less at risk of something like this.THIS will forever tarnish the Samsung brand and could not have come at a better time for Apple.
Are you saying that any device that has had Samsung produce some of its insides is potentially dangerous, and you would be STUPID to buy it? Really.. on this forum of all places.. you sir are awesome...From now on, if I see ANYONE with ANY Samsung device, I'm telling them to GTFA from me!
And ANYONE who is, bluntly, STUPID ENOUGH, to buy another Samsung Note 7, replacement or not, deserves to get burnt, literally!
