You're getting recall and return/exchange programme confused.

Recall is when a company like Samsung is publicly recalling all phones as they are a safety risk, airline companies are banning them on board.

Apple have had exchange programmes where they have identified faults in a small amount of phones, usually by serial number you are eligible for a exchange.

I have never suggested Apple products are flawless and have never had any issues, but they have never had any product recalls like Samsung have. They have also not been fined for posting negative reviews on other companies products, damaging their reputation.

I know you're obsessed with your anti Apple hatred, I won't lose any sleep over it, or fail to see your replies as my battery will last all day  

haha, that reminds me of the trigger sketch about broom handles...

Trigger And that's what I've done. Maintained it for 20 years. This old brooms had 17 new heads and 14 new handles in its time.
Sid How the hell can it be the same bloody broom then?
Trigger Theres the picture. What more proof do you need?

iPhone 6S

Apple has determined that a very small number of iPhone 6s devices may unexpectedly shut down. This is not a safety issue and only affects devices within a limited serial number range that were manufactured between September and October 2015.

https://www.apple.com/uk/support/iphone6s-unexpectedshutdown/

iPhone 6+

Apple has determined that some iPhone 6 Plus devices may exhibit display flickering or Multi-Touch issues after being dropped multiple times on a hard surface and then incurring further stress on the device.

Note 7

On October 10 we took the decision to stop sales and shipments of Galaxy Note7 devices as part of our commitment to customer safety. 

We have asked everyone with a Galaxy Note7 to back up your data (click here for details of how) and switch off your device. 
Once you have done that please replace your device following the steps below. 

We are truly sorry that we have not met the high standard that you expect from Samsung.
We thank you for your patience during this time, and apologise for the inconvenience we have caused.

We would like to reassure you and all our Samsung customers that the Galaxy Note7 is the only device affected.

sorry for the delay, my kindle ran out of battery and the charger went awol....

I understand you are obsessed with the Apple marketing juggernaut and my kids are the same, lets be honest if 85% of your company are assigned to marketing you are going to become a very successful entity, they don't design, create any patents of their own and if Steve Jobs was famous for anything it would be he loved to magpie all other tech, we have all seen the gif/infographic that Apple removed en masse about each component belonging to other phones, they don't hide the fact, they always follow Samsung out of the block regarding release dates for a reason?

We have the official recall notices shown below, no American company on earth undertakes a total recall of anything, from exploding Vauxhall Zafiras to washing machines and tumble dryers, its not the American way and anybody dealing with yanks you can be assured that they will not have a total recall of anything let alone a poxy £20 chinese built phone..

So why the bad press? Apple signed a $1bn contract with Google to become the default search for all apple products, wow that's a lot of mullah, so they managed to pay $1bn for something that I could change within five minutes of switching on my sparkly new phone, ah no...

Apple paid a lot of money to stop Google indexing, analytical data scraping and general **** stirring of the Apple brand, now lets link the latest spread of terrorist propaganda, I can have the big "G" remove all kinds of posts removed regarding Apple because they accept a lot of Barbados dollars from the big "A" but nothing for removing terrorist bile, if you don't pay we don't remove, we are a ******* business you idiots....

so recall notice, below is the link to the official recall notices on the apple site, I have even made a lovely screenshot for you all, its for all recall notices from 2013 (yes 2013)

https://www.apple.com/uk/support/exchange_repair/

so we have had a few recalls (not total recalls, yanks don't do that remember) with the IPhone in recent years, anybody remember the antennae problem with hardware, no signal with the "death grip" (not shown), then we had the on/off button on the IPhone 5(not shown) and the battery replacement on the iPhone 5 (not shown), what's going on?

so why don't we view a screen grab from the wayback version of the same page, if I could give advice to Apple and all its pimply tech guys, always put a Robots.txt file on your site to stop indexing of something you are trying to hide, when you lose your pimply complexion and your balls start to drop you will understand that you are not that good and experience means hell of a lot....

we don't know how many recalls are evident with Apple because its all smoke and mirrors, its not about the phone I have a problem with its when you pay your workforce very little for something that is beyond popular, Huawei phones are fantastic and pay a living wage, they deserve a lot of credit...

Behave, give me any phone and I can bend the ******, that's the dumb YouTubers that drop test them out of 2nd story windows for views.

All the rest show me your sources as I can smell something farm yard like in here.

There was never any "recall notices" Apple were aware of a very very small number of 6S phones that shutdown which they replaced.

A recall is when the company issues for example urgent notices for all devices to be returned as they are fire risks. Never never happened with Apple.

For every Apple issue you can find I will link you to 5 Android phone issues from fires, security, Ram, display issues. 

How would that bend, surely dropping it from the second story of a building would just disintegrate on impact?

I am not supporting Android based phones because they are built through a cooperative with different makers and each phone built differently.

Never had one iPhone break, crack, smash, faulty, nothing, 4, 4S, 5, 5S, 6+, 6S+, 7+

Glorious phones, absolutely glorious

4 and 6 had a recall notice, 6+ bend issues and fire risk and 5 had so many problems it was unreal, on button went AWOL and charging problems, 7 screen freeze, nothing on any apple product is an original patent, even recently they paid Nokia for a patent under duress ( court order)

Samsung had a fire problem with the Note 7 and Apple paid £300m USD to discredit them for a fault through increased advertising streams.

Operating system, iOs operating system is excellent and highly efficient.

Never had an issue with any phone I have used since the mid 90's. Apple reliability is just hype, mate of mine fixes mobiles and he has equal amounts of both in for repair, and it's usually user error.

What really, Apple phones are notoriously temperamental?

Is that the same company that paid £12m in tax on a £2bn profit in the UK a few years ago, only about £400m short?  The same one that got a £11bn fine for tax avoidance?

When they start paying their tax I might look at their products. 0.005 per cent tax on its European profits for more than a decade...

Let it go, its eating you up Mac 

Isn't Apple Day October 21st? 

mine was fantastic just like this season and the fecking handle fell off on its maiden journey, it didn't bode well for the season did it

Selling a car, great 24 texts/emails/phone calls. 80% of them 'what's the lowest you will take' or an offer for less than half of what it is advertised at

Hence why people opt for Webuyanycar type sites, people would rather sell at considerably less than book value than deal with tyre kickers.

I love unisex toilets me, I never use urinals because I usually take my lad in with me and its easier to share a cubicle, my missus usually takes a good 20 mins cuing for Loo's and the gents are empty, makes sense to me.

Do you like a smoke?

BT, sending me a debt recovery company around for an unpaid bill, I left BT five years ago and some halfwit hooligan put his boot in my door to stop me shutting it and obviously me having a very bad day he got a slap, found the receipt in an old email, no apology and apparently I now have a bad credit marker against my name for paying my bill on time, only took me all afternoon to find the proof, it was £90

I am not defending the neglect issue.  As for your last sentence, you are a bigger idiot than I have previously given you credit for.

I am not the greatest parent on earth but I can safely say that I would never leave three children alone, two defenseless babies and one toddler, many children go missing and a few abroad but none get this level of coverage, it would be interesting to know how much we have spent on this case to say Ben Needham.

Waking up on a glorious Sunday morning. Switch the TV in and be greeted by those Celebrity child neglectors' looking for sympathy and money again. 

I did start a thread about missing children for this reason, I was going to mention why so many kids are missing and this takes centre stage every time , nobody mentioned the truly horrific neglect that was evident and why do we not hear about other children missing?

Anyway,  my newly acquired Ford hadn't even got a space saver wheel in the boot,  just a wheel shaped piece of polystyrene and a stupid can of tyre inflating substance,  soon ousted that and spent 40 quid on a space saver 

Edit :- ive not checked if it's still there tho.. 

I have loads of full sized ford wheels, my mate works at a local ford dealer, apparently they are running short of those space saver ones though

The truth is probably 80% of the content is contributed by 20% of the posters.

That statistical appraisal will defiantly annoy some...

**** off, 95% of the content is from 2% of posters and your wrong 97% of the time

you exchange space savers for a full sized wheel a few times its a very profitable enterprise, if its a fairly big dealership i would have gone on twitter and pasted DET or another local rag into the conversation, embarrassing them into action is the only way forward.

NCP Car parks.

Went to see something at the Curve theatre in Leicester last Thursday, with tickets bought as a present. 30 minute drive in, parked in the Car Park next to the theatre.

Got there at 7-15. Show finished at about 10. Got to the ticket machine as around 10-05, put my bank card in, £12, thank you very much. What a f*****g rip off.

park on St George Retail park and walk you lazy bugger, quick walk down Queen Street or Southampton Street and it would have cost you nowt, If you pre-book tickets at the curve you can have a price reduction parking, take your NCP ticket into the Curve and they will zap it on entry

I managed to "get" a brick, an old wooden seat from the Osmaston End and the best thing was one of the single bulbs / lights out of one of the floodlights, its massive !

great stuff, I was a regular on the pop, fantastic times and why is it that thinking about the good times make you feel melancholy?

Did anybody manage to buy any memorabilia from the old BBG?
