Man o man, reading comprehension fail to the max, or should I say to the KillaMax. ;)

So what's worse? A defective battery that you know not to use until you get a replacement, after which all is good. Or issues like touch disease and that hissing that kills the user experience. And your only recourse is a class action lawsuit? Yup, sounds like an amazing user experience.
What does one have to do with another? The two can't even be equated as far as one being dangerous and one being a mere annoyance.

At least Samsung faced the issue headon.Meanwhile Apple customers are still ranting over Touch Disease.Apple has indirectly told them to shut up and get a iPhone 7

They faced the issue head on because something if this magnitude could contribute to someone getting maimed or killed, which would lead to unprecedented lawsuits. And still what has this battery issue have to do with Apple other than a deflection?

It has nothing to do with Apple, but it has everything to with exposing people like you and others who have derailed the Note 7 thread with irresponsible and misleading sensational articles. Articles claiming "confirmed reports" of "explosions" and "burns." And then people like you reading these articles as if they were reporting investigated cases because they used the word "confirmed." And of course you guys try to say your posting this information under the guise of discussion and awareness. And of course to call out a big greedy company in its careless way it is handling this defect. So, now we bring up the iPhone issues of Error 53, touch disease, and now the hissing. All issues that either destroy the user experience completely or make it incredibly annoying where you don't even want to use the damn thing. So are you guys vocal about these issues and critical of Apple in its response? These are very real issues that are now in a class action lawsuit. If you're not vocal about these incredibly crippling issues the iPhones are having, then your agenda for posting in the Note 7 threads is clear. Mud throwing because of bitter hate.

When you respond to an unprecented failure and threat to human life and property by whining about touch screen failures another brand had then, when called out on it, admit it it's irrelevant before posting another massive screed about it, you are in fact damaging the cause you intend to protect. Any vaguely reasonable person can see - and will be turned away by - the incredibly cynical attempt at deceit.

Edit: In before someone tries the laughable "Apple had fires too!!! Just Google it!" gambit. It's honestly laughable.

The faux outrage is getting boring and really frikkin annoying. .....

Unprecedented recall my behind, the only thing unprecedented is how quick the situation is being handled.

Takata's airbags have killed people, the recall is going to take years, that's years of people driving around in lethal vehicles, of various makes, who were never told how dangerous thier vehicles are, still.

Juxtapose that to the current Note situation and see how melodramatic the argument is.

People just like to be disruptive, antagonist drama queens, I get that. I get that people like to wind others up.
But the insincerity is what gets me...

I'm loving the ignore feature here, wish I'd known about it sooner.

They did something.Apple did nothing on a issue which affects millions of iPhone 6.I notice you have no response to Apple's lack of response on Touch Disease so we are going to continue bringing that up

So that's your standard? As long as it doesn't explode, you'll just grab your ankles and smile for Apple? Really? Pathetic.
It doesn't have the potential to put human life in danger, so we're obviously going to be a lot more forgiving about it.

This touch disease isn't really something they could have discovered in QA either, considering it took several years to start showing up.

Stop clinging on a touch screen glitch as if it even comes close in severity to an exploding battery. If anything, it shows you apologists have nothing actually serious with which to argue against Apple.

But go ahead and keep plugging your ears and repeating yourselves about touch disease - it sure seems easier than accepting that Samsung's failure put human lives at risk.

Still no response for your lack of outrage to Apple doing absolutely nothing about Error 53 and Touch Disease that effects way more users. Oh I just remembered, you guys are saying those issues don't end in an "explosion," so no harm done, and no need to be outraged at Apples lack of acknowledging the issue for its most loyal of followers. Oh but wait, there's a class action lawsuit, so there mudt be some harm done. Really sucks when you're dealing with a company that couldn't care less about the user experience is its loyal followers, and does it so openly. And then you gotta get in a class action lawsuit to even be heard. Meanwhile us Note users got an acknowledgement, an apology, aaaaaand a replacement. Wicked, just wicked.

Quite literally no-one is saying that. People are saying that bringing it up as a false equivalence in every thread about exploding Notes is a transparent and pathetic attempt at diversion. It is.

"“The issue is ridiculously widespread and Apple should’ve issued a recall or maybe a free warranty repair on this problem already,” Huie told me via email. “If you own an iPhone 6+ and haven’t experienced the problem yet, then I think the chances are pretty high that you’ll experience it during the lifetime of the phone.”"

“This issue is widespread enough that I feel like almost every iPhone 6/6+ has a touch of it (no pun intended) and are like ticking bombs just waiting to act up,” says Jason Villmer, owner of STS Telecom—a board repair shop in Missouri. He sees phones like this several times a week.

And there are several blogs stating that the reason Apple isnt responding is to get these people to upgrade to iPhone 7

In any case at least it doesn't explode with normal use.
So in the future unless the phone doesnt kill no need to do anything right?I mean the Note 7 has now set people thinking that unless it doesnt explode the problem isnt serious

Funny, reports of Samsung battery combustions are just reports and not really evidence and need to be investigated and all that, but personal opinion about Apple from some people that run Apple repair shops (and could certainly have some bias in relation to that) where they just "feel" or "think", well, that's something certainly to go on. The silliness just doesn't stop.

No point in carrying on this conversion with these thread derailers and the usual suspects who like their posts. They're bent on throwing mud and talking about issues that have been resolved. Meanwhile they completely miss the point why the comparison is made to their lack of outrage for ongoing issues with their beloved iPhone. Exposed.

http://appleinsider.com/articles/16...ccounting-for-about-11-of-apple-store-repairs

"Exclusive AppleInsider research points to about 11 percent of an Apple Store's daily iPhone service traffic to be related to the so-called "touch disease" problem, eclipsing all other individual issues dealt with by retail personnel on a day-to-day basis."


http://www.inquisitr.com/3520192/apple-ignores-iphone-6-touch-disease-to-market-iphone-7/

"While we have been left in the dark for so long as to why Apple continued to ignore the pleas of the iPhone 6 users despite the good faith its users have exemplified towards the company, we now believe that this is Apple’s ploy to push its patrons to upgrade to the new iPhone models to solve their problems. Why continue whining if you can solve your problems by purchasing a new iPhone 7? The iPhone 6 is obsolete by now with the iPhone 7 out, anyway."

Actually you were the first person in this thread to actually bring Apple into any context regarding the thread OP.

Which as far as I am aware Apple didn't make the Note 7 or have anything to do with the recall. Therefore comparing it to Apple or any other manufacturer is utterly irrelevant to not only this recall case in general, but this thread entirely.

It was by your own action bringing Apple into the thread discussion that you yourself actually set about derailing it ...

Blaming others for picking up from where you left your initial post in this thread is nonsense. You chose to take the thread discussion to a place it did not need to go to.

Yeah, because my intentions are clear since you find me in the iPhone forum derailing threads about Error 53 and Touch Disease. Exposed.

Phone repair man says you should use phone repair man shop. News at 11.

If this is such an issue maybe we should check the highly active touch disease thread on the iPhone forum... Oh wait, that's not a thing. The only people harping on constantly about it are Samsung fanboys feigning outrage and trying diversion tactics.

As already pointed out, you derailed the thread trying to divert it onto iPhone.

5.8-Inch iPhone With OLED Display Rumored for Launch in 2017 or 2018
Thank God for a true innovator like Samsung pushing tech and innovation to the limits. Otherwise this industry would be stuck with a 3.5 inch rectangle with rounded corners, and 720P resolution. How innovating!

iPhone SE Component Costs Estimated to Start at $160
To anyone supporting Apple and their overpriced products (including the new recycle bin SE) under the umbrella of a company's right to make a profit, need not complain about the price of any other product or service. This includes your phone bill, cable bill, price of gas, price of groceries, and all other utilities. If you do complain of these other prices, and don't apply the same understanding of "a company making a profit," then you my friend are a blind loyalist, rather than just a loyalist. Nothing wrong with the latter.

So why basically no complaints on the iPhone forum? Where are all these people with touch disease? In any case did it cause - or was it implicated as a cause - of a suspicious Jeep fire? No? Then what's it doing in this thread? Oh right, trying to change the subject.

It doesn't really matter at this point.

I really considered the Note 7 and Gear S2 as replacements for my iPhone 6S and Apple Watch, but ultimately I have decided to pass and remain with Apple by getting a JB7+.

It wasn't the battery issue either, but the lack of availability when my upgrade became available.

Samsung had a manufacturing misstep and experienced a large recall at the worse possible time, but it is what it is. I look forward to seeing what they offer with the Note 8.
