Are you claiming that all iPhones made in 2014 and 2015 when Apple listed Samsung SDI as a supplier use the exact same battery component as the new Note 7?

No one knows. The thing is that Samsung SDI is supplier for Apple. There is a chance that Apple using problematic battery without prior knowledge.

All I am saying is there is a chance that same problem COULD happen to iPhone. I didn't say it WILL.

I don't understand all the heat. There is probability of issue, if there is an issue, Apple should recall.

When average joe looked at the problem, people might assume that Apple using problematic battery.

Apple had bad history of denying problems until several years later. Just look recalls Apple has made in past years.

Well, you don't know, and I don't know. But Apple and Samsung SDI know. As far as you know, it's quite likely that Apple aren't using problematic batteries.

The problem is no company will recall something until they know there for sure there is a fault.

You can bet your bottom dollar samsung doesn't want to recall all of the galaxy7 phones but it seems like they either have a wider issue than just one batch, or (more likely) they have very poor control on their inventory to know which batch(es) are affected. It sounds from reports that this phone was seriously rushed to marked to get a head start on iPhone 7 - and that kinda blew up in their face, and their customers'. I say this purely because almost every recall i can remember (outside of the auto industry) has been able to narrow down the issue to certain batches/production dates.

And all that withstanding, Apple would not even entertain putting a device in anyones hands if there was any probability of a device being dangerous.
 
The batteries in Apple products are different than the ones Samsung makes for their devices. Also like others have said, it is a batch of batteries with the exploding problem.
 
As all we know, Samsung SDI is responsible for Note 7's battery problem. Samsung is recalling Note 7 that use Samsung SDI's battery.

After digging Apple'a supplier list from Apple'a own website, Samsung SDI is in the list.

This proves that Apple is using Samsung SDI's battery, at least for products produced in 2016.

If Samsung is recalling Note 7 using Samsung SDI's problematic battery and recalling it. Apple should do the same.

This proves that Samsung is more responsible than Apple.


I hope you realize that these batteries are made in batches. So there was a batch of Note 7 batteries with an issue. For some reason (or maybe just to squash confusion) Samsung is recalling ALL of the Note 7s. They really shouldn't have to, they should be able to match a battery batch with a SN range and only recall those, but for some reason they are recalling all of them.

Now Apple, assuming the batteries for the iPhone did come from same place, will surely be more cautious about accepting batteries, but given the different manufacturing processes, materials, methods, etc. it isn't needed.
Apple has no reason to think their phones will have the same problem, but I can guarantee they are being much more diligent in looking into the battery manufacturing process given what has happened to Samsung.

Not to mention apple hasn't sold 1 phone yet, so there is nothing to recall.
 
LOL... the amount of fanboyism is incrediblely high. Apple cannot do wrong is again reflected by Apple's fans.

Samsung SDI appeared on Apple's suppliers list. The same company was listed on 2014,2015. What makes you guys think Samsung SDI will dropped from list this year.

It is all about potential. There weren't any problem does not means there won't be problem in the future. If Apple really used Samsung SDI's battery, then we can reasonable assume same problem will occurs on iPhone.

I do not know why when it comes to Apple, problem will magically go away.

Again, Apple fans are denying problems. Just like they did when MacBook Pro graphic card problem and iPhone 6 touch disease.

Keep denying and waiting for battery exploding on you. Then you guys will know there might be a problem with battery.

Why are you even on this forum? I can assure you no iPhone will explode. Give it a rest!

This proves nothing.

You're looking for something that doesn't exist. Won't work here. Please move on and spread your fud elsewhere.

Proves?

Jesus, talk about jumping to conclusions.

This doesn't prove anything and especially not that Apple's batteries will be defective, it only proves there is a potential for issues, I don't know why you've already put Apple up on the guillotine when it isn't even a real problem yet.

So apparently, while Samsung used Samsung SDI, Apple mostly uses ATL, to whom Samsung is switching.

No way bro, the OP said :

"This proves that Samsung is more responsible than Apple." :rolleyes:

Apple is already guilty.
 
Hilarious thread. OP has access to some good psychotropic drugs it seems. Every post basically a cut and paste of his original post. Basically a ranting lunatic on the sidewalk. The end of days is near!
 
I think we should give the phone some time to see how well it does in the wild, before we call in the cavalry.

What I am worried about now, is some jackwagon modifying their lightning cable to connect to a 24v (or higher) power source, then "claim" their phone exploded. I am actually fairly confident that a few of the exploding Samsung phones were sabatoged by people trying to become net famous.
