Right. He was underestimating to demonstrate that even a very small number of shops and iPhones/week would yield a large amount.

But also we should take into context how many iPhone 6 and 6+s have been sold. The first article on a Google search comes up with Wired who is discussing numbers from Oct-Dec of last year and in that time Apple sold 75 MILLION iPhones.

And I think the iPhone 6 model has only been out for a year or two, right? So even if we quadrupled the defect number per year, we'd still fall quite short of even the recent Samsung recall.

Please keep in mind I'm not saying it's not a problem, just trying to help put numbers into perspective.
