Really? 99% of the population couldn't tell the difference between an iPhone and an HTC 10/Galaxy S7/LG v20, and you think anyone outside of boards like this will remember or even know there was a recall? Doubtful.
you think people will forget an exploding phone? highly unlikely
also, its exactly the same thing apple is trying to prove in samsung vs. apple case. they all copied the iphone, now nobody cant tell the difference.
i'm wondering would you say the same thing in that thread
