You'd want your head examined to not ask for your money back and run as far away from this company as humanly possibly after that happening. Waking up and your bedrooom is full of smoke? Feck me, that's scary. Samsung are negligent and totally irresponsible. This will forever tarnish their brand—mark these words. Samsung are not just demonstrating a lack of leadership, but a lack of care and respect. Their products nor their company can no longer be trusted. A real rain is coming.

And I can only imagine how toxic smoke is from an exploding/burning battery inside of a smart phone. Fire aside, that would be some nasty stuff to breath. I read one of the folks is having bronchitis from the smoke inhalation.

I'm curious why all these POS brands can release super HD OLED screens and Apple can't?

Because unlike all of these other vendors, Apple's volumes are beyond the capacity available for these displays. What's Google need for this phone? Maybe 5 to 10 million displays if they are lucky?

I am confused. Since the touch screen requires bare fingers or specialized gloves - why would the glove be an issue if the access to 99.9999% of functionality require screen access.   This seems to be achieving more self consistency on phone access. 

1. Siri
2. Checking the home screen

It's not just cold weather. Gloves are used in many professions, e.g farmers, construction workers all wear gloves. If you're working you want to keep fast access to your phone. Not everyone using iPhones are tech hipsters.

1. Hey Siri - You have an iPhone 7 after all... 2. Use the lock button, does the same thing

I know Apple said that all of these new Beats headphones have the W1 chip in them, but it didn't dawn on me until reading the description on Apple's site for some of these new headphones exactly what that means. I watched the whole keynote, but it still didn't sink in. With the W1, these beats headphones all do what the AirPods do with the single pairing and it works with all your devices. Easily switch between all devices, etc. So all of the feature hype they did for AirPods related to ease of use is pretty much supported across all their new headphones. Maybe everyone else got it, but damn that is sweet. I was just thinking cool, they will have good audio, a solid connection, long battery life... Didn't even think the rest applies. Need some wireless headphones for Christmas now to use on all my Apple devices. It would be kind of cool if they Added AppleTV support for non-disruptive watching. It uses my iCloud account too, so why not.

Everyone who wears gloves on a regular basis already has capacitative ones, or the finger tips that flip off. Otherwise how the hell would you do anything with your phone? Take your gloves off every time? Who has time for that. NON ISSUE unless it was already an issue.

The only thing that has changed is to just wake the screen to see the lock screen info. However, you can just use the lock button for that. Total non-issue as there is a hard button that does the one thing that you can no longer do on the home button with the new design.
