Samsung Galaxy S7

Don't you mean the Galaxy NOTE 7? The Note 7 was the one that was banned because it had a minor issue of blowing up, S7 is still sold new at some carriers/MVNO's and did not have the same issue.

Aye, the Note 7. We had one explode at our work.... it was actually already returned to our service desk earlier that day because we were recalling them from users. (We allow our users to choose between the current iPhone model and the current Android model - which at that time was the Note 7). It was just laying there on the desk with 4 other Note 7's.... we had maybe 6 in total in service out of 300-ish phones.

We hears *pop* looked in that direction.... and smoke started coming from one of the Note 7's.... there is still a burn mark on the desk today.

That said, I am not biased against any brand.... if you want an iPhone, fine, if you like Android, fine, if you like Windows fine, if you like MacOS, fine....

I get more annoyed by fanbois who are like: "OMG, MY brand is soooo much better than YOUR brand, your brand sucks so bad! #mybrand4life".

(That said: Apple Airports suck :P )
