The Macalope is sure there ’s a football doctrine of analogy for the Galaxy Note 7 situation here somewhere . possibly something about trying an onside kick , bollocks up the snapshot ( which you should n’t have been doing in the first seat because it ’s an onside beef ) , regain the clod but track down to the haywire end zone and then being tackled for a safety and lose the secret plan 44 - 0 . But heck if the Macalope can figure it out .
( It ’s jolly much exactly that . )
“ boot to Take Advantage of a Dull iPhone Started Samsung ’s Battery Crisis . ”(Tip o ’ the antlers to@realworldrj . )
A dull iPhone you say , Bloomberg ? Did that in reality go on ?

The Note 7 would have a high - resolution screen that wraps around the edges , iris - recognition security department and a more powerful , quicker - charge battery . Apple ’s taunts that Samsung was a aper would be silenced for good .
Uh , it would take a lot more than that . One phone does not undo eight long time .
Then it all backfired . Just days after Samsung introduced the Note 7 in August , report turn up online that the phone ’s batteries were abound into flame . … What was supposed to be triumph had grow into a fiasco .
mayhap spend a petty more time doing your own matter and a little less reacting to Apple . Of of course , that may be hard if your “ own thing ” is copying Apple .
When Samsung became aware that Apple did n’t plan any major intention changes , the Korean executives project an opportunity .
The iPhone 7 has roughly the same organic structure shape as the iPhone 6S. That does n’t imply it is n’t stilla important measure forward in pattern .
Well , take heart , Samsung . The iPhone 7 is n’t unadulterated . Did you hear it has no headphone jack ? It ’s true ! severely to trust , right ? But some unit may make a skreak noise when tax and there look to be issues with the Lightning earpiece cut out .
But , yeah , it does n’t explode . So … you should probably work on that .
