As an avid iPhone user who does want to see Apple succeed. I genuinely feel horrible for Samsung. You can say whatever you want about corporate management at any company but at the bottom of the pole are hard working engineers who put so much time and effort into their work. The team that built the iris scanner must have worked incredibly hard with cutting edge technology to make that work in time. So the whole team deserves a ton of credit for the device. I really hope they don't discontinue the line, I hope they just keep doing great work and I believe customers will give them a chance.

The tech industry is awesome because of the beautiful (and incessant) competition. But at the end of the day, I think we all feel for the challenges that come with this line of work. When a device bends, melts, explodes; a product leads customers astray or doesn't live up to hype; that's really unfortunate.

As in, stop making a 5.5"+ phone with stylus? They definitely won't. They'll just have to come up with a new name because the Note name is tarnished

Is it? I would've thought the samsung brand was tarnished more than the note brand.

No just the note brand people are still buying Galaxy S7 by the millions.

But I don't think they're gonna ditch the Samsung brand
