Audi garbage is likely to burn itself down long before anything else will just like Jeep.

And, the New York boy incident was a 1st degree burn not 3rd.

He did like a 35-40 foot jump i think and landed on his iPhone and it exploded on impact this would happen to any electronic device so whats your point?

I dont know.What I DO know is theres potential for a lot of money to be made and 3 cases were already fake

I am amazed Touch Disease doesnt bother you.That iPhone 6 you have could die any second because of it.And millions of iPhone 6 have it



This is just a bump in the road.Apple has had it too.Blackberry Numbers?Hahaha.Even with this debacle Samsung will wipe the floor with Sony,HTC and their other Android manufacturers with their results

Its actually a good thing in a way for Samsung to wake them up from their slumber.To get rid of this negative publicity something grand is gonna be on the horizon.Always on 4K OLED?Foldable displays?

My work iPhone is an 18 month old iPhone 6. No "disease." None in my agency either.
Plenty of Samsung SGS5s and SGS6s returned for being useless.
And we're dropping Samsung as of Oct 1st.

Hey did you hear that the Note 7 replacements are I've heating too? Oh but that's fake.

Riiiiiiiight.......

This thread isn't talking about all their smartphone. Its about the galaxy note 7.
The note 2 sold 30 million units the note 3 went down to 14 million. Note 4 barley did 4.5 million. Note 7 is currently stalled at 2.5 million. 2.5 million a quarter, yeah that's blackberry 10 numbers.

They had only sold 1M, the other 1.5M were in the channels.

Samsung had sold 2.5 million to retailers and carriers.

You're talking about end user resales. A Japanese stock holding firm estimated that of those 2.5 million wholesale sold phones, 1 million had been retailed to end users. The rest were mostly at stores/carriers who had not launched their sales yet.

This is no different than when Apple announces its sales, millions of which are still in the retail channel and not in the hands of end users yet.

The desperation of some to try to deflect from Samsung's continuing woes is quite entertaining.
I might cancel my cable.
Honestly, I am actually starting to feel a little sorry for Samsung.

Just a little. The downside of actually having a conscience, I suppose.

There's really no positive spin for a Samsung at this point. I was on a plane last week and when they demanded that anyone with the Note 7 shut the phone off, I overheard chuckling and even two people say they'll never buy a Samsung phone now. The damage of this recall is going to haunt them for years.

I flew southwest two weeks ago and the same chuckling happened when the announcement was made. And the person who was in back of me with a note 7 was saying she is going back to iPhone.

The same chuckling now happening in this forum as deflections about random unverified iPhone issues are being posted.

The reality is that any LiPo battery is a risk. The most recent airline guidelines don't even allow you to ship single packaged battery packs by air for this reason. Even dedicated Apple fans are likely to admit that their phone has periodically heated up for no clear reason, or that they have had some sort of battery-related issue. The problem is that (on this forum) there is a strong pro-Apple bias, so many of these issues are simply minimized or forgotten (this is a common cognitive bias).

The reality is that neither iphones, nor any other phone, have had an endemic issue that required they be withdrawn from sale and switched off on flights. The problem is that (on this thread) there is a weak Samsung Defence Squad trying to conflate the tiny chance of potential failure of any Lithium battery with the endemic failure of the Note 7 (this is cognitive dissonance)

Only the ignorant don't think any lithium battery can fail. It's actually not a new issue and has been happening since the 80s with lithium PRAM batteries exploding in early Apple IIgs and 68K Macs.
