I've no problem with Android. I've a problem with Samsung. It's clear they didn't act appropriate here and I no longer trust what they say or what they make. Internal docs leaked early on showing they cut corners to rush this to market to beat iPhone 7 to store shelves ignoring safety concerns. And when the issue blew up as it were they even then never acted. Very dodgy behaviour from a CE maker. Deplorable and unforgivable.
Yeah and they got burned by the innovation.
They are so innovative they can't even figure out whats going on.
The first flagship phone with double recall.
Thats real innovation.
You may very well be correct. It will be interesting for sure to see how all of this plays out in the long run, and how exactly this fiasco will influence consumer behaviour.
EDIT: Some words.
I doubt very seriously Samsung will be bringing out any phone "early" anytime soon. If the S8 or whatever succeeds the Note 7 has any sort of flaw, Samsung Mobile is toast.
You're right, it IS a big deal especially for us Apple shareholders. ;-) Y E S !!
Only Apple gets the "gate" suffix.
Samsung doesn't have the same kind of following.
With flat phones exploding I'd put folding phones on hold for now.
Right, if anything, recall-gate would be fitting since they managed to screw-up the screw-up
I think the whole Galaxy brand is in danger now, not just note sub brand
LMAO.Right, if anything, recall-gate would be fitting since they managed to screw-up the screw-up
I'm quite certain that if you did some research you would discover it's not that bad. Samsung Mobil is one of over 40 different divisions of Samsung. Unlike Apple, Samsung is far more diverse, and has the ability to recover from this within a year. Fix whatever the issue/issues are. Slow down, improve how your Teams Communicate with each other. No more Engineers sleeping in their office to meet impossible deadlines (Biggie Here.) Release basically the same product designed correctly this time in 6-8m as the Note 8.
Recall-gate-gate then?Right, if anything, recall-gate would be fitting since they managed to screw-up the screw-up
I'll have what you're smoking.
Yeah, maybe thats why they did this:I'm quite certain that if you did some research you would discover it's not that bad. Samsung Mobil is one of over 40 different divisions of Samsung.

Samsung sells off shares as it deals with its exploding batteries crisis
It's the Samsung brand that's in danger.
There seemed to have been a very loyal Samsung following , maybe not as much as Apple but a lot of people were willing to give them a chance after the recall. When you screw with the loyalists, the day one folks its hard to recover from.
Instead of "beating" Apple to the market they might have given them a push.

It's got the best screen on the market. It's also got the nicest multitasking available in a smartphone (though this point may be considered subjective). Unfortunately it's also lighting on fire. Hopefully this st least translated to screens just as nice in future releases.Innovative? By becoming up in smoke?

Seriously, I think those kinds of juvenile tropes are not the domain of Apple enthusiasts. And I don't think Samsung enthusiasts are willing to step up to that when it involves Samsung devices.
...and a removable battery, to make next year's recall much more efficient.
