What's going to happen to the million returned Note 7's ?
Landfill or refurbish?
It would be a massive job to open up the phones and replace the battery, and probably not worthwhile for used phones.
But there will be thousands of phones in the distribution channels that have not be sold and are in factory condition. How can someone buying a new Note 7 in say a month's time be sure it hasn't been opened up, battery replaced and repackaged? I wouldn't want one for sure.
Just think - if the battery was still removable like the Note 4 the whole thing would be so much simpler. Send out new batteries, job done.
