None of the ads I commented on in this thread had a reference to "the notch". Try to pay attention.
However, when it comes to people saying how much they like "the notch', or queuing for days outside a store, these people deserve any mocking they get :)

Alienating potential customers is never good thing ;)

Yes, selective attention and distraction is your forte, got that clearly now.

So, basically I was right hmm.. Samsung is laughing at Apple customers.
Go back to regularly scheduled obfuscation then...

Again, the ads i was referring to in this thread made no mention of notches etc. Try to pay attention. I added a personal opinion as an aside not related to this thread. Try to pay attention.
 
No, that was a story made up by the internet echo chamber.

As determined by independent investigations, the fire problem was caused by manufacturing mistakes made by the battery makers,



More internet click bait nonsense.



iFixit said the batteries were the same voltage (of course) and Ah.

Other sites took such similarity and ignorantly claimed they must therefore be bad batteries.
So I’m wrong for saying that Note 7 phones exploded? What rock have you been hiding under?! The phone was banned from flights and Samsung even recalled all note 7s.

Nope, but it was incorrect to repeat the bogus claim that it was caused by "rushed/poor" Samsung battery design.

That was an idea floated by early internet clickbait writers, who made it up before investigators tested tens of thousands of batteries, and discovered that there were design and production line mistakes made by the battery manufacturers, mistakes which could allow internal battery parts to short out.

The good news is, no doubt every phone maker now pays much more attention to the batteries they order, even from usually trusted sources. While laptops had had similar problems, it had not been a big problem with phones before then.

Yes, it will always be too early for some, but my view is that "some" is a lot in this case. I think they got it wrong.

For one, I've never seen a mom or a young kid wear airpods. I also don't see them on planes. Noise cancelling options with bluetooth are also not great, the exception being the bose 35 which are over $300.
I think it depends where you live. In NYC, I see so many people, old and young wearing AirPods all day. They are an expensive accessory for young children but so is a phone and iPad and I've seen so many young kids (too young) using those devices too.

Also, I use AirPods on planes and see any other passengers doing the same. They work fine.
