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.

The Microsoft Surfaces can't be opened without destroying them and they
sell anyway, presumably because most arent aware that they arent repairable.

Most aren;t intrested in getting them repaired they either work or they don't when they stop working you replace them. They are as disposable as shoes and underwear which peolpe also used to repair.



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.



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.

It remains to be seen what effect it has on sales.

It had an efect on sales, peole didnlt buy them partly because samsung withdrew them from sale so they could be brought, samsung lost money because they couldnlt sell phones that were potentailly faulty and dangerous.



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 ?




Prices are irrelevant,

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