Samsung is currently facing a $1 billion problem, with the tech giant's latest flagship smartphone - which would have been the most impressive phablet in the world - having a tendency to detonate. A seemingly small amount of the 2.5 million or so Galaxy Note 7 handsets that were built has issues with the battery. This problem, unfortunately, is a big one that can cause the smartphones to explode while charging. We've witnessed these Note 7 blasts destroy cars and even torch a house, and Samsung had no real option except to issue a worldwide recall as a result.
Well, now things start escalating a lot more. Now, a recent report now claims that Samsung's exploding Galaxy Note 7 problem is very much Apple's fault.
A Report from Bloomberg indicates that Apple was to blame for Samsung's demise
As indicated by a new report from Bloomberg that refers to multiple anonymous sources, Samsung saw the leaks and rumors paving the way to Apple's recent iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus launch, and it recognized an opening. All of the chatter ahead of Apple's new iPhone launch suggested that this year's new iPhone lineup would have been boring and dull. As a result, Samsung thought it could surge out the new Galaxy Note 7 and take Apple's thunder with a ravishing design and some hot new features like a built-in eye scanner.
Samsung was rushing to their doom
All that rushing, according to the report, brought about some quality control slips that would ultimately lead to the failure the company is in now. In fact, by the report, some Samsung employees are calling the Note 7 recall "embarrassing," and analysts have suggested that the company's reputation could be hindered for quite some time.
The best thing that you could do
If you currently own a Galaxy Note 7 - and if it has not yet "exploded" yet - it would be best if you return it to its retailer right away and request a refund, or maybe a replacement.
