Samsung tablet explodes on a plane, but it’s not what you think

Samsung has a massive PR problem on its hands thanks to its exploding gadgets. Aside from the Galaxy Note 7, which had to be recalled weeks after launch after many batteries went up in flames, various other Samsung Android devices have been catching fire, including Galaxy S7 edge models, the Galaxy Grand and the older Galaxy Note 2. Even Samsung washing machines have had a terrible accidents recently. Now, a report says that a Samsung tablet exploded on a plane, which then had to be diverted from its destination as a result.

While all these incidents are terrible, it’s worth pointing out that they’re not related. The same problem isn’t affecting all these gadgets just because they’re made by Samsung. The Galaxy Note 7 is the only product that shipped with a massive flaw that turned each device into a potential fire hazard. All the other explosions appear to be isolated incidents. More →

‘Revolutionary’ iPad with flexible OLED display reportedly launching in 2018

Apple’s iPad might not generate the same interest as it did in previous years, but the product is still making billions in sales for the company, and Apple is not done improving it.
