Now you’re just being ridiculous. Your dreams of Apple being crushed by the gov won’t happen. Sorry.
Driving has potential for injury, so you must not drive. Walking along roads also has injury potential. How do you get to work then?
Got a tip for us?

I'm just spit-balling here... but, what component could the Note 7 and iPhone 8 have from a common manufacturer?
Perhaps the battery?
Perhaps the battery?
Considering the following:
iPhone 8 Plus battery: 2,675mAh
iPhone 7 Plus battery: 2,900mAh
My guess is, it's not due to it being a huge battery like what was in the Galaxy Note 7. Not sure what the cause might be?

I was NOT taking a poke at Apple- just offering counterpoint to the post that guy made about the desperation of other poster's messages. If one side is "not desperate" but intelligent, so should the other be too. Who are you- or I- to judge the intelligence of one poster's view vs. another? (rhetorical)
Might only be 5 publicly known cases, the 8 is young, but as a owner of a Macbook Pro battery that expanded after 2 years, I would be nervous that this is something that manifests over time.
If you want to equate the two phones, where Samsung’s had many bursting into flames endangering the lives of people and property in the process, with Apple’s where a few have expanded pushing the display out, feel free.
Many, understanding the difference, will choose to not equate the two issues.
Why? Is the problem on the same scale (same percentage of phones, same level of damage like fires, etc.)?
Same as the 7. In any batch of a million phones, there's going to be some problems. If the problem here was battery, the popping open is a safety feature.
Luckily apple took security measures and prevents wireless charging from the moment the phone vibrates when a message was received.
So your phone will less likely blow up during your sleep.
On the other hand, the battery under 11 discharges so quickly, only sysiphus would keep on charging.

This is simply inexcusable.
Don't Apple rigorously test their massively expensive products before releasing them?
There is zero quality control these days which is precisely the reason the Note 7 debacle took place last year.

Apple does use Samsung components in their phones, the processors for example are one of them. But Apple does not use Samsung's batteries or vice versa.
You are charging it wrong!

Well the original iphone is pure Apple. Galaxy S1 copied Apple.
Well it was 2 and is now 5 - so I can't argue with MacRumors statement on a factual basis.
However, I suspect that this second repeat of this story in three days on the Front Page of MacRumors has far more to do with click revenue than it does with journalistic integrity.
Let's see how far they'll milk it.
Apple will fix this problem with a iOS software update. That's what I expect to hear from you guys.
As the article itself states, there is no issue. If you insist to think otherwise, then please explain this
Apple has had bulging battery issues for decades. Everybody has them sometimes.
I remember this problem on my MacBook Pro over a decade ago. Difference being the battery was removable so didn't damage the computer. It caused the computer not to sit flat and the battery latches to be difficult to operate.
Usually requires a redesign of the battery to cure it. All future phones would have the new design and existing would be replaced case by case.
I honestly think people are doing this purposely for attention. Don’t think there’s any real issue at hand.

That link you sent says nothing. So you just put something in a search bar and it basically gave you no true results. LOL
Well Iphone x display (super retina display) is made by Samsung too so i wouldn't disrespect them if i were you ...
The cause is they used cheap batteries to maintain high margins
