If apple sold 100 times as many iPhones as the note 7 has then the % of exploding phone would be the same.

Samsung Quarterly Earnings Guidance Shrugs Off Galaxy Note 7 Woes

No it wouldn't, you've gone the wrong way and Samsung would be much worse off. Hypothetically say that Samsung had sold 1000 Notes and Apple sold 100x more iPhones - 100,000, and 100 Galaxies exploded and only one iPhone exploded, we would have
Samsung: 100 exploded, 1000 sold - 1 in 10 exploded
Apple: 1 exploded, 100,000 sold - 1 in 100,000 exploded
If Samsung had sold 100x as many phones, then the percentages would be the same, but this is not the case, iPhones will have outsold Note 7's by a massive margin.
Exactly. And absolutely the competition has caught up. Is the competition a parody of Apple, or is Apple a parody of the competition? It's really hard to tell. Apple was about cutting edge design, pushing the limits of what we thought could be a computer. Apple has dropped the ball, dropped several. More same, same. I'm waiting for a new fresh and highly resolved design story. Hopefully there is more yet to come, but three generations of iPhone 5 (5/5s/SE), and three generations of iPhone 6 (6/6s/7) doesn't instil confidence, it surely doesn't express courage by Apple.
Wrong. There have been iPhones on fire from 3G, 4, 5, days as well. Not to mention power adaptors on fire.
A bit more objectivity and less bias here please.
[checks the users brief post history] Did you really create a profile just to post intermittent conspiracy theories on MacRumors? or are they just 'your' own propaganda ?
No, Teslas don't explode into fire, unless the car is crashed so severely to damage the batteries. Teslas are certainly more safer than carrying around a petrol and gas bomb in a tank that ruptures much more easily in a crash at the engine bay, the engine fuel lines and at the back where the tanks are kept.
Check yo arguments please.
Of course, but I was referring to the specific case he quoted, and was talking about the rate of exploding phones if you read back the comments I was replying to.
Okay, sure. One phone exploding is not good enough in my opinion whether it be Apple or Samsung or other.
It just happens with Li-Ion batteries I'm afraid. They have a natural and unavoidable failure rate which is spurred on by battery stress and damage which will occour frequently when you use them in mobile devices, by way of dropping the device, falling on it, flexing it, piercing it etc.
OK, we get it from all your other posts here...YOUR so excited about 2017 that you can't sleep. We get it.
Sure, they can fail, but they need to be encased in a material that contains the explosion, not wafer thin plastics. It's not acceptable.

Ha. I really am. Please get excited with me too
Oh believe me. Press loves nothing as much as it loves Apple failures! As I said on some other commitments, any phones battery may explode on some isolated incident. Note 7 is a unique well known issue that no Samsung or Apple or both together can mask!!

Competition is good yes. But please spare us the BS of iPhone not existing without Samsung components. There are other firms who would give an arm and leg to get a bit of that business with Apple. And as it has been proven, some are just as capable as Samsung.

Judging from your history...Ignored.
With Samsung going through this explosive debacle, Apple is probably taking time to chill out. Hopefully they'll have some exciting releases in their 'less important' products like the Mac and iPads these next few quarters.
You can't the competition while it's down. Apple needs Samsung to keep them on their toes in the mobile device category.
That's probably because they haven't included sales in this report. The next quarter will tell the story and no-one knew about this exploding business until a few weeks ago so up until that point, they weren't affected.
Now people know...

Actually according to CR, the iphone 7 is the HIGHEST rated phone at 4.7". We shall see how the iphone 7 plus comes in when tested. Samsung S7 edge at 5.5" only scored 1 point higher and the 5.1 S7 scored 2 points higher.
You fail to mention that the source of most of those cases were 3rd party chargers.
A bit more objectivity and less bias here please.
No, sorry, FACT CHECK. Genuine Apple chargers up in smoke.

Yep. Apple are single-handedly tearing Qualcomm a new one with their in-house chip design. Half the cores, half the clockspeed, yet they still cream them in multicore. Plus the difference in singlecore is so far ahead, it's almost comical.
But that's not innovation.
The A10 is higher clock speed on all 4 cores than the chip in the Note 7, not certain what your yakking about.
??? Max turbo of the A10 is 2.34GHz. The 8890 Octa has a base of 2.3GHz with the four Mongoose and turbos to 2.6. Unless you mean the 4 Cortex-A53s sitting in it too, which clock at 1.6GHz. But then you could compare that to the 2 low-clocked CPUs in the A10 as well, which are simmering around 1.6GHz too.
Boy, the more I looked into it, the more Samsung's chips really are a mess. They just throw cores at the OS and hope it goes quicker.
But but but but I thought all the doom sayers in here claimed that the Note 7 would be the end of Samsung and tarnish them for ever and ever and ever...

Yeah I know right, must be why Apple and Qualcomm have copied the idea eh?
