I'm much more worried about something like this in a check-in bag, where the fire can spread uncontrollably. At least in cabin you will notice the fire early and can use the fire extinguisher.
I don't think lithium batteries are allowed in check luggage. You're supposed to carry them on.
"He has already replaced it with an iPhone 7." This is the biggest FU to samsung.
The commercial writes itself. Apple should be in negotiations with the guy already.
At least I really hope it is. Twisting the knife at something like this would be a pretty horrible thing to do.

I'd say that's beneath Apple. They usually don't attack competitors directly (used to WAY back, but now now). At least I really hope it is. Twisting the knife at something like this would be a pretty horrible thing to do.

Leaders (or at least those who perceive themselves to be) rarely have a need to attack those who are underneath them.
I imagine some break down is: I have an Android phone. I have a Samsung phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note.
But Samsung Galaxy Note 7, specifically? I'm guessing at best 50% might know that.
This entire episode seems hard to believe. How could Sammy fail so hard after so many years of industry knowledge? What corners did they cut? Is it just unbalanced reporting or possibly sabotage? Seriously don't believe they got wrong what everyone else seems to have dodged.
They're not the only ones, even recently. http://arstechnica.com/science/2016/08/mcdonalds-recalls-hap... http://thenextweb.com/gadgets/2016/08/04/psa-basis-peak-wear... http://www.pcworld.com/article/3050377/hardware/major-toshib... https://www.nextpowerup.com/news/29739/xiaomi-mi-band-2-is-p... https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2016/Denon-Recalls-Rechargeable...

Some of the datacenters I visit have signs on them forbidding people from having Samsung Note 7s on the floor. "Keep them in your car," one of the signs said. Hmmm, maybe storing them near many liters of gasoline isn't the best idea . . .

I think you're forgetting your forum. HN has a very very pro-Apple bias. Anything good for Apple or bad for Apples competitors will get a disproportionate amount of attention here.
Yes. It is a pro-Apple bias that is causing people to be worried/upset about cell phone batteries that can spontaneously catch on fire. You've figured out the conspiracy.
