    Short answer: By copying Samsung's technology. 
    Right... Samsung "invented" seals.... Sure they did... Do you know what sludge turds you yap?
    No, but Samsung invented the idea of waterproof phones. It's ok to admit that Apple copied a marketing ploy from its rival, it doesn't make the iPhone any less of a spectacular device. 

    How do those turds taste now?
    How do you invent an idea agin ? I forget

    Apple uses seals to keep water out of iPhone 7, whereas Samsung's Note 7 is able to expel water from the case by steaming it out. Advantage Samsung!
    Yeah right before the Kaboom

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 7 recall seen as a 'gift' to Apple and its iPhone 7 Plus launch

    This "gift" is grossly overstated.

    A product fault and recall harms the brand to the general population, the general population is less brand loyal. Thus switching behaviour from consumers will likely benefit other Android device makers first, then Apple second, due to platform stickiness.
    However as Android is dilute, their per-vendor gains will be small in comparison to Apple.

    The largest movements will be in price driven sales (fear) and mid-range sales (brand trust) to the general population, not buyers of flagship devices who are very brand loyal. (I.e. Sales of iPhone SE would see a gain, not so much the iPhone 7 Plus.)

    Finally: Since the Samsung Note is purchased by the most avid fans of Samsung devices - waiting for a replacement device is not going to sway them to another vendor, they're far too deep in cognitive dissonance to associate the battery issue with the brand.
    If I've said once I've said it a 100 times THOSE FOLKS NEED AN INTERVENTION, what does the damn thing have to do explode in you're ear ? I mean Apple fans aren't much better but if this was an iPhone exploding Tim would know the fury of Apple fans befor any other stakeholder, I guess that in it self speaks volumes about the two camps, I think JAY said it best " still ROC La familia says a lot about you if you're not feeling us"

    Be interested to see the ifixit teardown to see how internal space is allocated as the iPhone 6 had 2915 mAh. Guessing the deletion of the analog out is countered by the advent of 3D Touch and (for the 7) the inclusion of the Taptic Engine and stereo speakers?

    Doesn't take long after there's blood in the water for the sharks to start circling.
    Which is funny considering that Apple hasn't and is unlikely to pay a sent of any of that $21bln I mean all these tax departments of all these countries are drooling pointlessly that dough behind safety glass, Tim will never let Apple just loose $21 bln with out a long blooded fight to the end, and more to the point Apple wouldn't be involved is such a fiendish scheme just to illegally bypass taxes, I'm aware business is business and shirt's strictly financial but IMO that's a little beneath Apple they are just too successes full to need such underhandedness.
