The Galaxy Note 7 has been recalled, which you’re probably well aware of after the PR nightmare it’s caused over the past couple of weeks for Samsung. It’s been tough for the company to handle with new reports coming out about exploding phones and the recall process not working as smoothly as hoped. Recalls aren’t […] Come comment on this article: You won’t see a Galaxy Note 7 ad on TV until the recall is sorted out Visit TalkAndroid http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/fb0d6edf4570c653cac88be318b58006._.gif News via TalkAndroid

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/501c6d90e3bf1f9f7e833efc0ce2a46e.jpgIn the wake of the iPhone 7 shipping without a traditional 3.5mm headphone jack, many have wondered how the controversial design decision might impact other devices in Apple's product lineup. While removing the headphone jack on a relatively small and tightly packed device like the iPhone can be justified as a means to make room for other components, it's hard to make a similar argument for removing the jack on larger devices like the iPad and Apple's Mac lineup.

Earlier today, we shared a disturbing Deadspin report about a graphic, sexual My Little Pony GIFs appearing in the new iMessage GIF search for the word "butt." Unsurprisingly, this wasn't the only inappropriate image to slip through the cracks. Hours later, a woman wrote in to The Verge to let them know that her eight-year-old child searched for the word "huge" and was greeted by "a very explicit image" of "a woman giving oral sex to a well endowed mal…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/37c82f2993c5a494d009d519111693a3.jpgEvery year, Apple releases new iPhones that have better cameras than their predecessors. But the leap from iPhone 6s to iPhone 7 Plus seems tremendous. Apple’s iPhone 7 series features two incredible cameras, including an upgraded iSight shooter on the 4.7-inch iPhone and a dual-lens camera on the 5.5-inch phablet that’ll take you closer to DSLR photography than a smartphone has ever gotten before. We’ve already seen a few great reviews of the iPhone 7 cameras, complete with detailed descriptions of what goes on under the hood. But Austin Mann’s review of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus cameras…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/85e3df5f8135e85278311cdc79ab97c4.jpgSamsung is not in a very good place right now. The company is in the midst of a global recall of its latest flagship phone, the Galaxy Note 7. As we're sure you've read by now, some Note 7 models shipped with faulty batteries that have been found to explode while charging.

We've seen stories of Note 7 fires engulfing a parked Jeep in flames and even burning down one family's house. Most recently, an exploding Galaxy Note 7 started a vehicle fire while the car was driving down the road. The…
