And the time limit of 4 years. You can't buy a rechargeable, hardly ever use it, then expect it to work 10 years later.

So no point in buying it then if it only last 4 years is that what your saying ?

I'm saying if you want to use your phone after 4 years, it should be openable, by you.

if you want a phione to last longer than 4 years then get one that can be opened don;t buy one that can't that's the key.
if no one brought phones that couldn't be opened up then they would be made would they.

Anyone manufacturing a phone you can't open yourself is artificially limiting it's life to 4 years, which is against the consumer goods act.

It's not against the consumer goods act, if it were then they'd be banned wouldn't they.



Duds occur no matter what.

when you find a dub reject it don't try hiding it inside a phone or laptop.

Probably not possible to detect all forms of dudness.

The more you test for .....

The more it costs.

yes, it's cost samsung quite a bit.
Maybe the saving on testing or spending money on a betteryh battery didnlt pay off this time, better luck next time perhaps.

It probably saved them a fortune actually.

The recall is thought to have cost $5.3bn (£4.3bn) and was hugely damaging for the South Korean firm's reputation.


Then they'll be repeating this saving on the samsun 8 then is that what you're saying, we'll wait and see if they start expolding.

But other than terrosists I don't really see a market for exploding phones do you ?


Phones and laptops don't wear out, they become obsolete, at the same rate.

What do you mean by the same rate ?

"the same rate" is a common enough English phrase.

But it doesnt apply equally to all computers.
Look at a 4 year old apple laptop and a 4 year old lenvenoe and check the prices.

Prices are irrelevant,

Prices dicated what is wanted most, this is why gold is more expensive than dog ****.

that's just what people are prepared to pay.

exactly why are people prepared to pay more for some items than others.


And people who buy Apple are morons with more money than sense.

And people that buy exploding phones.......


yeah sure maybe better designed is luck in your world.

I hardly think major manufacturers are using badly designed batteries.

Almost right. "I hardly think"

Perhaps you could explain why samsung had such problems then.

http://www.wired.co.uk/article/galax...-what-happened

Batteries made by Samsung's SDI group were too small at one corner, causing negative electrodes to be bent and increase the likelihood of short circuiting. Separately, batteries from third party provider Amperex Technology Ltd were incorrectly welded. Points left on the batteries were able to penetrate protective insulation.

Why do you expect a 100% success rate in everything?

I don't.

Then why get upset about the Samsung phones? I have one, 3 friends have one, none of the 4 have ever exploded.

There's lots of tower blocks that haven't caught fire either.



How many of apples iphone7s have exploded or have had bad batteries ?

Irrelevant, as you just claimed 100% is ok.

I never claimed anything.

But if someone offered to pay you $10,000 for an exploding phone adn yuo werent; allowed to modify the phone in any way which phone would you have brought an iphone or a samsung phone or a fisher price classic chatter ?
