Samsung execs on hearing there would be no major design of the iPhone 7:
So the top brass at Samsung Electronics Co., including phone chief D.J. Koh, decided to accelerate the launch of a new phone they were confident would dazzle consumers and capitalize on the opportunity, according to people familiar with the matter. They pushed suppliers to meet tighter deadlines, despite loads of new features, another person with direct knowledge said.
Safe to say that it didn’t work out so good for them. Still it’s hard to tell if the battery problem would have been caught even without the tighter deadlines.
Would love to know how the battery thing slipped through — what the conditions are that they didn’t catch in testing. It always amazes me that we don’t have more battery issues like this, given how volatile the chemicals are if they get too hot/cold or over/under charge.
I call it bull.
Just look at the guardian throwing punches at Apple.
Excuses, poor excuses.
I stopped reading the Guardian, for the most part, years ago. What are they slinging now?
What a pack of arrogant fools.
