May be because Samsung has a reputation for sloppy mistakes? Do you really want Apple to be graded the same way? May its not a bad thing that Apple is held to higher standards...

If it would convince apple to move the iPhone's to usb-c, I really don't mind it. One port (*conditions apply) to rule them all...

The problem is what Tim Cook explained in on of the interviews about ever increasing ASP of iPhones. Which is, they assumes everybody buys phones from service providers on some contract or long term purchase plan. Nobody I know in India buys phone from service providers. Almost everybody buys it from the likes of amazon.in or from mobile phone shops which pop up in every street. I don't think i can every get myself to buy a phone for Rs. 100,000 ($1400 yep that's how much latest apple phone's cost in India). The Average phone price I buy is around 20K - 35K ( $300-500). And believe me I am not struggling for food

I can't imagine this is anything but an one in a million hardware malfunction. My X heats up bigtime with some apps, also charging but no smoke yet

Apple sold around 217 Million iPhones in 2017. If 217 iPhones exploded it will be a major disaster for apple even if its 'one in million'.... Just saying when it comes to iPhones careful with your superlatives

The iPhone is "becoming a stable business, performing more like software than hardware," 

So it is only now is becoming a stable business? Okay.... So, it was unstable before with all those huge and stable profits? I see...

I guess is stable vs growth...
