No its not.
Get familiar with Google search.
Apple iPhones catching fire, exploding since 2010. YouTube has the videos.
There have been stoppages of all sales of a particular model and a recall of all of the units of that model that have been sold up to that point, and so fairly quickly after release (which is typically one of the more popular times for a new model to sell well) in relation to those (or anything else)?
I am sure Samsung is also protecting their brand, I find it hard to blame a company for that.
But they are doing it the fastest way posssible, and I fail to see a better way. EVERYONE is has an opinion, and in today's social. Deis driven society, they have a voice....doesn't mean everyone is right or reasonable.
I'm sticking with the Note 7, minor inconvenience
You can certainly say you aren't worried about it, but if it was to happen it certainly wouldn't really be in the "minor inconvenience" category.
I'm saying exchanging it is a minor inconvenience and not a reason for me to 2 weeks in go back to what will be a boring iPhone 7
While it may not relate directly, it's a practice routinely practiced by Apple Devotees when bashing Android.
Samsung is in a difficult position.
Getting the government involved means that there's a huge complicated mess of paperwork and procedures that the establishment politicians will muck up. Slowing down response times, needless complications and the Pro-Apple, Anti-Samsung dynamic that continues to simmer.
Anything the government touches is stained forever, that's just how it is.

I concur.
That's great. I'm having a hard time understanding why some are arguing so vehemently at Samsung's motives for the recall.
A new color? Lol I doubt it. I love the Note7.who knows, the new iPhone 7 just might blow everyone away like the note 7 did... literally
I see your from the UK so maybe it's different there, but in the US if Samsung turned this whole recall over to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission it would be months before it was resolved. Generally the CPSC gets involved when the company refuses to recall a product with a safety defect. Once the CPSC is involved all sorts of legal hurdles, incompetency, and bureaucracy comes into the process. If you want the recall to drag on for months then by all means let the Feds run it.
Now if Samsung had refused to recall and would not admit to a problem then the CPSC should get involved, but that's not what happened here.
After al this crap I've gone thru with the the Target return process I will NEVER buy another phone again and all future purchases will be At an Apple Store. Screw att and screw target. If Samsung or any other maker wants my business they're gonna have to establish some type of store support like Apple has. Way to much hoops to jump thru for this and am just completely over it. I'll be happy with my iPhone 7 plus and apples eccelllebt customer service.
Never had a single issue exchanging phones at T-Mobile... even with this recall. I walked in to the store and they offered me a full refund on the spot. I declined and asked that they sign me up to be notified when the new ones come in. Not very difficult and the line is much shorter than my nearest Apple store usually has.

Kinda torn between exploding batteries or a touch disease.who knows, the new iPhone 7 just might blow everyone away like the note 7 did... literally
No problems here. Tmobile has been more than accommodating.
The dude you quoted literally provided no examples, just complaints.... Just an observation.
I felt the same way when I took my iPad air 1 to the Apple store because the home buttons didn't work 30 percent of the time. Took 3 trips to get an exchange. Same s**t, different day, right?

your only as good as your last_____fill in the blank. in this case samsung support vs apple support as far as recall devices the winner is samsung. they came forward and are now standing by there customers. were as apple doesn't give a flying *uck and waits for it customers to file a class action lawsuit. (FACTS)
don't compare an issue with a home button and phones being set on fire. Hardly the same. Apple would be doing the same thing if iphone were being set on fire like this.
