It took literally 7 seconds to put in the cover correctly, and if you got the warning all you had to do was press on a bit more.

The Galaxy S5 Neo did not have any flaps over the ports.



And out of the 130 million phones that Apple sells a year, what are the chances that you think someone will do it wrong, a connector will break, etc and you will hear sone more hysteria about it or another *gate?

And what could possibly go wrong after a couple of years with this design?

> The plastic battery door still has a rubbery seal on the inside, so you'll want to make sure it's securely snapped on each time you replace it. (And yes, the phone still reminds you to do this each time you start it up.)


I said S5 Neo, not S5 mini. Thr link you sent is completely unrelated.

I've had an S5 Neo for years and had iPhones as well. It was a completely fool proof design. The worst thing you could have done was break the back cover, which no one did, and that's a 5$ fix. It's a non issue, and no one would have complained if Apple did it.

And the S5 sold only 15% less than the iPhone.
