Samsung have my 100% respect. They can hold their hands up high and admit that they have faulty handsets, then they do a recall on all Note 7 phones.
What would Apple do here? Probably blame the user for charging the phone "incorrectly" or tell you to stop putting the phone in a pocket so that it doesn't become too hot.

ITM "operates as a subsidiary of NICE Holdings Co., Ltd."

It would be a shame if samsung made battery that faulty and not the chinese one. But samsung keep the information as secret so who knows the fact.

This is going to hit Samsung in the wallet long after this battery fiasco has subsided. Samsung will need to do something in order to keep customer loyalties like lowering prices of already shipped handsets like the S7/edge models

I do agree that Apple kind of dismissed the Antennagate issue but at the same time, not all people where affected by this & it wasn't life threatening like the Note 7s exploding batteries are!!! I wasn't affected by Antennagate but still got a case out of it as it was a no quibble thing.
Stop hating on Apple so much & stop comparing a potential killer to losing signal!!

Many commenters blame the chinese battery manufacturers, but in fact, the Samsung's own battery manufacturer (Samsung SDI) produced the faulty batteries. The chinese batteries are working perfectly. I don't know why GSMArena didn't mention it.
Search for these articles in Google:
Samsung reportedly discarding Samsung SDI batteries for Galaxy Note 7
Exploding kittens: how to tell if you have a Samsung SDI, or a 'safe' ATL battery in your Note 7
(I can't paste links because GSMArena don't allow posting links.)

In one way I feel Samsung had this cost coming because of their too high retail price. Around 700dollars wouldn't have pissed costumers, even buying costumers, off so much. If you really want the phone you're gonna pay the higher price but you'll be pissed off at the company thus creating bad will.
Next time a similar situation where 2 options with similar products arises the constumer would tend to choose the other company that was not cheap the last time.
