I'm thinking about it. I'm still on the original iPhone 5.

Anyone else considering the 7?

I dropped my wife's iPhone while we were in Europe. Her new 7 arrives tomorrow. The 7's are too big for me, I'm sticking with the 5se.
 
I was all set on replacing my Blackberry (oldschool 9780) with a Samsung Note 7. I like the pen and cordless charging, but after this Battery situation, I'm now thinking iPhone 7.

Apple has had its fair share of exploding batteries, too. Just sayin'....

Just wait until one or more of Tesla's lithium batteries explodes. That will be a sight to see.

I have had my 5 for four years now, but for the last year it has been tie-wrapped together since the screen came unglued, and it was falling off. I was going to order an SE, but said 'what the heck', and ordered a Jet Black 7. Hopefully, it ships tomorrow.

I've owned an iPhone and iPad since they came out. Never heard of any exploding batteries here in HI, and I've never been told not to bring one on a plane.

My new 7 will be here tomorrow.

BTW, iOS 10.0.1 is great.

mauidan.......I also own an iPad with no issues whatsoever and love it. Glad to hear you're happy with your Apple devices. That still doesn't mean Apple hasn't had plenty of exploding battery issues, some causing fires, some causing personal injuries. An occasional issue with certain lithium batteries and charging systems, irrespective of the phone manufacturer, seem more common than manufacturers like to admit. They do all that is possible to squelch the chatter and control the fallout. What matters most is how a manufacturer solves such issues to make the batteries and charging systems safe for consumers and making the affected customers happy and whole again with the results.

It is a shame the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has developed a faulty battery and fast charging issue. I am confident Samsung will get it corrected for all concerned. The stakes are high in the cellphone business. Each company loves to capitalize on another company's problems. It is the nature of the beast. Customer's like to gloat, too. You know, "My phone's better than your phone". As silly as it is, human nature prevails. We all grow old but sometimes I wonder if we ever grow up.

I don't remember seeing any U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalls on any iPhones.
 
My current Iphone 6 contract expires next month & i'm also debating the Iphone 7 vs Note 7 or Galaxy S7. The recent spate of fried Samsung phones hasn't given me great confidence, but apparently Samsung are doing a recall to fix the batteries, so i'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Samsung are also one of the only companies which offer a software program to seamlessly migrate your Iphone data over which is essential. My only reservation is the need to use anti-virus/anti-malware programs on Android platforms..

Melbguy1.......The Samsung battery issue is strictly with the Galaxy S7 Note, no other Samsung phones. From what I have been able to research, there has been less than 25 batteries that have malfunctioned out of the millions of Galaxy S7 Note's sold. There may be more but there is an official recall in the United States which Samsung, to their credit, quickly implemented. The Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge phones have had no issues.

I purchased the new Samsung Galaxy S7 this past March on the AT&T network. I also purchased the Samsung Fast Wireless Charger. The phone and charger have worked perfectly without issue. The Galaxy S7 is the best smart phone I have owned. Fingerprint and password protection are secure. I like the expandable memory. I have a 128GB SD card. It can be encrypted if you wish. The Super AMOLED display is incredibly sharp and easy to read. I don't want to sound like a Samsung commercial but the new Galaxy S7 is a great phone. I keep it protected in a Spigen Neo Hybrid case.

Thanks Dan...I think the S7 is the phone which has finally reached parity with Apple, and arguably overtaken the Iphone 7. It has a very nice look and feel. The case looks classy, and I agree, the screen is super sharp and high res. Most important for me was user-friendliness and the ability to migrate all my Apple data to the Android platform, which thankfully is seamless using their free program. Thanks for the heads up on the model affected with the battery issue; i'm sure Samsung will quickly nip that in the bud. And that wireless charging station looks convenient too. The larger screen is also great for perusing the forum & keeping up to date with high end esoterica :audiophile:.

My wife's arrived yesterday and I finished moving all her "stuff" over and setting it up last night. The home button will take some getting used to and the small change in deleting apps took a minute to figure out. More to come.
