I returned my Note 7 on Monday. I loved the size and screen plus the S-pen was great. My battery life was phenomenal with 6-7 hours of SOT per charge. But I didn't want to deal with the recall wait times that were still unknown then. Plus a lot of apps still don't utilize the fingerprint sensor and some apps felt left behind compared to their iOS counterparts. I went on Best Buy's website today and ordered a 128gb iPhone 7 Plus in black just after 10am. A few hours later I received a shipping confirmation. I will have my new iPhone middle of next week.
I really wanted to give android another chance after switching back and forth for years but the Note 7 debacle let me down. A lot of people kept saying not to worry about the recall and wait it out but I have a 5 year old that uses my phone at times and I don't know what I'd do had it burned up while he was using it, just wasn't worth the risk to me. The note 7 was hands down the best android device I've used. I especially liked the form factor and size. It had a bigger screen but was a smaller device than the 7 plus.
It really is mind boggling the amount of people who still claim the issue is overblown and "my device is fine" so I keep using it. Like seriously. Samsung would not have issues a recall of there was no problem. And yes your device is fine. But everyone's device was fine before it burst into flames. It's not like the one that caught fire were shooting little flames out for a week and the owner was like well I'll keep it and see if it worsens.
Some people are so stuck in their heads they fail to see things as they really are. I had the note 7 as well. Fantastic device. I returned mine as well and await my 7 plus.
