Did they supply the screens to Samsung? The software? How can Apple have anything to do with it? Did they enter the Samsung factory and manipulated the screens? What? That's what I was asking. What is Apple's fault?

      I thought Samsung just mentioned not long ago that the red tint is the nature of AMOLED. So now This nature of AMOLED can be fixed with a software update...?

MST payments, fast wireless charging, amazing VR experience are really future technologies apple is still unable to dream of.

                                    I'm not surprised by the issues with Sammy's phone every year because that's what you will get from Sammy. What amazes me is that people still buying this s#!t and think these issues are naturally normal. Try an iPhone and then you can decide what's the norms and the standards for a smartphone.

                                      First the exploding battery, then the "hidden fingerprint can't make it on time, and now the red tint.

                                      Now you see where the money Apple made from red iphone, 32gb iphone 6s, and new ipad is going to.

                                        This sounds familiar: last time there were some glaring issue with the camera and and they rolled out a software fix which couldn't fix, because not all hardware or design issues can be fixed by software. Oh good old Sammy.
