Why isnt the Verge, Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, Forbes, CNET, ect picking up this story?

So friken obvious these a-holes are trying their best to keep this quiet.

Crazy that Samsung just excused the past half dozen Note7 fires in China as having nothing to do with the Note7. Right......

Because its not Apple. If there were happening to any model of the iPhone it would be everywhere all day long for weeks on end. But, because its Samsung its not a story because Samsung isn't as big as Apple. Its like every media outlet wants Apple to fail because thats a story they can string on for weeks and get attention. Apple will always get more attention (positive or negative) than Samsung ever will.

These numbers are from Samsung.

I don't believe a single word of it.

They claim that 90% of Note7 owners decided to get another Note7 instead of a refund. No way that's true.

The iPhone 7 is generally considered an evolutionary advancement like the iPhone 6s, above all featuring a better processor, water resistance, and new camera technology, including a dual-lens camera on the 7 Plus. Apple is thought to be saving a major redesign for next year's model, which could have an edge-to-edge OLED display with an embedded "virtual button."

And a bigger battery that works

The iPhone 7 is evolutionary as far as form factor but not features.

They added a ton of features on the 7:

1. Water Proof
2. Awesome camera
3. Crazy fast CPU, GPU
4. Solid state home button (this is a HUGE plus for anyone who has experience a broken home button)
5. Major display improvements (brighter, wider color gamut, super accurate color)
6. Significantly better battery life
7. Stereo sound, much louder speakers

Those are massive improvements.

What were the REVOLUTIONARY features in the iPhone6 from the iPhone 5S?  Just a bigger screen. How is that revolutionary?

I think I only had issues with my iPhone 5 home button. All the others worked great. The solid home button will definitely take some getting used to but I agree it is a positive step.

I think we sometimes forget what the word revolutionary means. To me, the only real revolutionary iPhone was the original one. It did something nothing else had done in a complete package. Sure, it didn't work the best, only supported 1 carrier, didn't have apps, etc, but it was a damn fine piece of technology for its time. It was a touchscreen phone which was unheard of in 2007 with multi-touch which was totally and completely awesome again, for 2007 with this new mobile OS that was built from the ground up to support touch. Nobody had ever seen anything like this before on a mobile phone for consumers and it sent manufacturers scrambling to come up with something similar, even as they brushed the iPhone off as something that will never take off. This is what revolutionary means in my opinion. The rest of the iPhones, were simply upgrades to last years phone as the technology advanced. Nothing really stuck out as simply amazing with the rest of the iPhones. Better processors, bigger screens, etc are NOT revolutionary.
