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.
No, but it's pro-Apple bias that makes you think that this only happens to Samsung. https://bgr.com/2016/10/04/iphone-6s-battery-explosion-fire/ https://bgr.com/2016/09/30/iphone-7-plus-battery-explosion-a...

How is that native advertising? It's relevant to the story.
It's about as relevant as saying he calmed his nerves from the whole ordeal with an ice cold coca cola.

Well the Galaxy Note 7 is a higher end device so maybe. But my parents both bought smartphones and they couldn't name the model. I tested this theory just now and my dad got the even the manufacturer wrong.
Right - the parent was saying if you have the absolute latest flagship phone, you're likely to know it. The type of people who don't know the model of their phone are those who aren't buying the "Just released in last 60 days and is the most expensive in it's class" type smartphones.

I've flown 25k miles in the last three weeks across 5 countries. Every airline mentioned this. American, Japan Airlines, Dragonair, Cathay Pacific, Etihad, JetBlue and Southwest.
I wonder if it's too late to short Samsung.
Samsung really needs to cut bait here, accept and admit fully that they made a major engineering mistake, come clean, and forcibly recall ALL the devices, before there is a major disaster. The time for serious, adult action was several weeks ago. From here on out, they deserve what they get.
The thing is, this was a replacement Note 7, which therefore includes their fix for the issue. So either they made a second mistake, or this is a very unlucky coincidence, or something else is going on.
I'm not sure why everyone is caught up with the competition between Apple and Samsung when the Blu R1-HD sells for $59. Most people I know would be indifferent between the Blu R1-HD and a higher end phone (considering performance, battery life, form factor, build quality, camera and screen quality).
Theres a bigger difference than you think. I have here a Sony Xperia E1 and a Motorola Moto G (2nd gen) The Xperia is also $59 and Sony is a more widely known brand so let's assume they're similar. The Moto G was $179 new some years ago the Xperia is $59 today. On paper, they're similar in terms of ram, cpu cores, flash, gpu, etc. But in practice... there is an absolute world of difference, and we're not talking flag…
From the specs I can find, the R1 HD has a 5-inch 720p IPS display and much better reviews than the Sony Xperia E1 did. Not only that, at the time of its release the E1 was competing with the Moto E which (like its bigger brother) also had an IPS screen and far better reviews than the E1.

The commercial writes itself. Apple should be in negotiations with the guy already.
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.

This was the box for a replacement Note 7. The question is, does the phone match the box?
