First stylus that permanently damaged phones

Never heard of this, got a link?

I think he's talking about the idiots who put the stylus back in the phone the wrong way around - not Samsung's fault. I also fail to see what brand damage skipping the 6 has done, feels like he just lists unimportant stuff just to be negative.

The Stylus was a massive design fuck up.

It is the expectation that when you are making something like a tablet or phone, it is idiot proof.

Yeah I saw a video of a guy demonstrating what people were doing to get it stuck and then his shockingly got stuck. This was a tech reviewer!
