      • I was ready to ditch my 6s (the battery life had really declined) so I went phone shopping. Frustrated with Apple's $100+ premium for 32 gb plus of flash storage that should only really cost ~$9-$30, coupled, with displeasure with dongle-gate, I decided to head back to Android. Picked up the LG V20, which come standard with 64gb (expandable, of course). So far I am very pleased. There are some features I'll miss about my iPhone (like force touch), but none of them overcome the headphone jack issue and the dumb pricing scheme.

        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        Dig your own grave, and save!

            Yeah, especially when their phones start catching on fire.

                  Yeah, but when the rest of the industry follows Apple's courageous move and ditches the headphone jack, where will you go then? Huh? Motorola?!?

                  Just kidding. I play an Apple homer on this board, but I know there's decent alternatives out there. Hope yours works well.

                      Its an LG, not a Samsung! This way, I've successfully avoided the two largest manufacturers of exploding phones.

                      An iPhone 6 Plus exploded in a student’s back pocket and caught fire during class, 6ABC reports.


                      “I felt this crazy, hot burning in my leg,” Darin Hlavaty said. “Right as class was starting, my phone started smoking in my pocket. It was a fire.” He continued, “It was super hot, so I flinched, grabbed it, threw it on the ground. Had to kick it because it was on fire.”

                      The student told the site that the phone’s battery was dead and it was not plugged in. The incident happened during his 9:30 AM physical science class. By the time the fire department arrived the fire was out, but there was still a strong smell of smoke in the classroom.

                      “I’ve had it for about six months. The only thing that was wrong with it was a simple crack, but I don’t see a simple crack causing it to blow up in my pocket,” the child told 6ABC.

                        just because it's unlikely doesn't mean i don't still want it to happen

                          So you decided to go with a lesser known manufacturer of exploding phones?

                          Man sues LG after smartphone explodes

                          LG has found itself in deep water as a New York resident decided to sue the company after his smartphone burst into flames without warning.


                          An individual named Muhammad Suttar, 52, is suing LG after his LG Optimus F6 caught fire, causing Suttar to suffer from second-and third-degree burns. Damage was made to the man’s hand and right leg, to the extent that skin graft surgery was needed to help heal the wounds.

                          LG will most likely be out of business once this law suit is settled.
