Samsung has no scruples, no ethics, no reflection

My girlfriend was given a MS tablet, not the latest SP4 so I can't speak for them, but she didn't like it and thought it cumbersome and I had to work on it adjusting/changing/fixing stuff and after a while I couldn't stand it (spoiled by my iPad Air and recently purchased iPad Air 2) so I gave her my older iPad Air and she took to it right away and has absolutely loved it since (her iPad is her go to home device abandoning the MS tablet and her Windows desktop completely - the MS tablet is kind of hidden on the bottom part of the coffee table gathering dust).

I've had 2 Windows and 2 Samsung phones through work (they don't have iPhones as a choice), currently went back to Windows phone with the 640 XL (not a Samsung fan).  The windows phone is a POS --- OK for my work calls and texting and just OK photos (terrible low light adjustments both photos and video) but recurring, and I mean very much recurring, problems include nearly unusable when plugged in, random power downs, unfriendly IE browsing (screen movements, etc. - my much smaller 1 generation old iPod touch is much better using Safari), random IE closures, it loses about a second every couple/few days versus my "i" devices where I have to shut down to put it back in sync (the random power downs sometime take care of this for me so that's a plus!?), unreliable internet sharing (again, seem to need to shut down to clear it up), etc.

I've been using Windows devices for a long time for work/personal (not so much personal anymore) and made my living with Windows based software and I used to be very anti-Apple (late 90s to early 2000s) --- I remember going into an electronics store I think late 90s and having a feeling of disgust looking at the new colorful iMacs and their non-business looking icons.  I'm embarrassed it took me so long to rid myself of my ignorance.

Seems quite ridiculous.  Spent a few minutes on CPSC.gov and FAA.gov to submit report/question as to why they haven't done enough to stop these exploding Samsung devices.  I guess they're waiting for deaths or a million more complaints to do anything with substance.  I'm not sure but Samsung may be one of the worst companies ever.  Why anyone would trust their personal information on a device made by this company is beyond me.

Had cart with 2 other items waiting.  Added Airpods and completed with Apple Pay.  Done and done.

I liked it a lot.  I'm sure they have the 30 second version for TV but I like some of the drawn out commercials and especially this one with what I consider to be a great piece of music.  It represents to me the Lone Ranger ridding the land of oppression.  The content itself representing the millions of ideas over time, a lightbulb exploding with each one, and the finale not being that the touch bar is necessarily one of those ideas but that you can use the new MacBook Pro to help you create your latest and greatest idea.  At least that's what I got out of it.
