          Slim slim phone
          This is what you get......
          Most times bad reception makes the phone over heat constantly searching using more battery..forgot the phone under my pillow cuz no network when I got back in 2hours my Xperia was at 70 degrees guess what? Extremelyllly hot It didnt explode
          Quality rather than quantity
          Sony all the way mehn

            So her phone is on fire, amazing how she had another phone with her to film it instead of calling for help...

            I smell a viral video user who wants more likes and retweets instead of being safe *cough* set up *cough*

              Low resolution , no VR support , no LED display like Samsung only these are few things where Apple lags , no matter not a big deal , soon or later Apple will also include these things , rest all things offered by Apple are best in class , so Apple rocks .

                iPhone 7 Plus catches fire, Apple investigating, and then still blame user for not using it right. Im pretty sure this is what they'll do

                  "A viral video showing a rose gold iPhone 7 Plus catching on fire has caught Apple's attention as well (pun intended)."

                  That intentional pun was not really great...

                          At least Samsung did a recall and fiXed their issue.

                          Apple in denial not to hurt brand image as always..

                            I come to the comments for a flame war and get exactly what I expect. Fanboy tears and false pride are delicious no matter what side they are on.

                              Uh oh. Apple is living on reputation and the reputation just got dented. Uh oh. Thought they would have learned from Samsung and the Note 7 by now but perhaps they have been resting on their laurels and thought they were immune somehow protected by God. Uh oh.

                                noone complains of iphones having sealed batteries, heck their laptops have sealed in batteries, thie ipad pro(which i woefully own btw) is working like my age old nexus 7..its fun to see my ancient n8 still working fine

                                  Fusion, 24 Feb 2017Fact..Iphone is still the best phone on the planet..Jealous... moreThe sad thing is a lot of apple users think that is true.

                                  There are advantages with iphones but they are generally outweighed by moderate phone specs, heavily restricted apps, limited operating system... I mean how can you be a smart phone without a file Explorer and full USB otg?

                                  Used iphones for a few years then switched to the Samsung S2... Best move I ever made.
