Re: Apple Parts, Samsung Parts...
Obviously it isn't the same, because if iPhone 7s were catching fire at the same rate as Note 7s, there would be thousands of incidents now and Apple would have been forced to do a full recall for the same reason Samsung did.
There will always be a small percentage of devices using lithium batteries that go up, whether they are phones, laptops or whatever. iPhones have always caught fire in small numbers, just as previous model Notes and Galaxys did. The GS8 will undoubtedly have a few catching fire no matter how carefully Samsung checks (and they will be plastered all over the press because of the Note 7 attention, unfortunately for Samsung)
What happened with the Note 7 was different than those, because of the vastly higher rate of problems it had.
