    Maybe it's because they skipped 6, so it's not really 7.

    I still think the reasoning behind skipping to 7 from 5 is absurd.

    They said they did it because they didn't want people thinking the Note was old tech because its number lagged behind that of the regular Galaxy phones.

    Actual owner complaints occurred (are occurring) in the Android thread and have been for three weeks.

    Re Apple's 'problem': There's been all of two reported in recent time (one 7, one 6S)... whereas Samsung has had enough Note 7s explode that they were forced to issue a full recall. Not sure if there's much of a comparison there. Batteries exploding in isolated incidents are relatively normal (ie, when there's a million sold, a couple exploding isn't out of the norm), but the problems Samsung had with the Note 7 was/is something different.

    But he doesn't have the Note 7 and isn't affected by the problem in any way, yet started this new thread?!

    All it takes is one screw up at the battery factory and you have a large patch of potential battery explosions.
    Even a misplaced line of code in the software that monitors battery charging would d it as well i'd bet.
    I'm fairly certain that literally every product thats used batteries in all of history has had at least one battery issue with fires or acid everywhere..

    I do wonder wtf the Samsung issue is since the most recent Note 7 to go up was allegedly one of the replacement ones.
