That isn't exactly a direct comparison however. Those Samsung earbuds don't require a phone at all to use. They have 4GB of built in storage and a heart rate monitor.
Your joke's getting olld! You're just as worse as Achtung!But what if they explode? That's a win for Samsung, No?

As it is, there have already been credible leaks from Bloomberg indicating how the battery problem came about: Samsung was in a rush to beat Apple to market, and sacrificed quality for the privilege of shouting "first!" It wasn't intentionally using unsafe batteries, to be fair, but it was definitely putting short-term marketing victories ahead of long-term success.
Seems to be a habit of Samsung's, actually. Remember the Galaxy Gear, which only existed because Samsung felt it had to rush something out to beat the then-rumored Apple watch? I'd love to know what would have happened if Samsung had been patient and focused on getting the experience right... maybe it wouldn't be third place behind Apple and Google right now.
Incorrect.
Samsung Group (total asset value $530 billion USD) is still a larger company than Apple (total asset value $305 billion USD) and Google (total asset value $147 billion USD) by total asset value. In fact, Samsung is larger than Apple and Alphabet (owner of Google) combined.
Apple is only larger than Samsung Electronics, which is the largest part of Samsung Group. But Samsung Group is comprised of several other subsidiaries which manufacture jet engine parts, aircraft wings, lithium batteries, buildings, military equipment, cars, etc.
And assets are what grow a company.
How does this relate to what I was talking about, again?

Which experience?I'd love to know what would have happened if Samsung had been patient and focused on getting the experience right... maybe it wouldn't be third place behind Apple and Google right now.
LOL "coming soon" since 2012 and early 2015!
Knock off all the 'worked up' lameness just because someone points out the silliness of criticizing Samgung for 'rushing' in comparison to Apple's ULTRA EXCITING 3 year product cycles.
Yeah, no "rushing" when you don't have to, that's for sure.

I find Android manufacturers the same level of boring. All running the same boring software. As a tech enthusiast, Android has to be the most boring OS ever created.Which experience?
Apple's VR experience? 360 experience?
Apple's several varieties/ generations of smart watches?
Apple's feature parity with the Galaxy series?
Samsung runs RINGS around Apple for having more, more varied, more innovative tech products than Apple- even in just the narrow space of smartphones and related tech.
I don't give a rip if they are 'third place' to Apple's hype. Apple's largely a one trick pony.
Yes, Samsung makes some fantastic blunders like with the Note 7 to be sure, but to say Apple does everything right is a bit silly- they do A FEW THINGS right, because in reality, that's all they do. A FEW things.
From a pure tech prospective, taking all the 'who's got more fans!!!?' cheerleading stuff out of it, Apple is GLACIALLY BORING!
Just a funny example of Apple in stark reality, as far as their desktop computer lineup, almost their ENTIRE LINE is rated a DON'T BUY by MacRumors (presumably a fan-site of Apple's!) and just look why:

The entire lineup is still heavily 2014/2015 centric!
Who else could get away with ridiculous multi-year product cycles without an update? MacPros from... 2013!
The phone line just got a refresh of course. But gee, of course it's gotta be way easier to "Not rush things out" when you only update once every blue freakin' moon!

I'm just sick of all the "Samsung just rushes everything and fails, what if they were more like Apple...!" nonsense.
THANK GOD they aren't more like Apple. I don't want to wait years for ONE maybe two products. From a tech-enthusiast standpoint, that's boring as dirt.
That doesn't really make sense if you prefer Apple. There's way more variety in Android hardware and software than in Apples.I find Android manufacturers the same level of boring. All running the same boring software. As a tech enthusiast, Android has to be the most boring OS ever created.
