I disagree with the "we all got screwed" statement. APPHOLE screws their sheep!
I truly believe Samsung just made a poor business decision in acquiring a battery Manufacturer that tried to maximize profits by producing subpar batteries(which is just typical corporate greed to appease shareholders).
Personally, I think Samsung has also allowed itself to get caught up in a one-upmanship revolving door with APPHOLE and is trying to release it's phone earlier to get a jump on market share. This is a dangerous business model because Consumers like us are going to have higher expectations that their new models will release sooner and sooner each time. If this practice continues, it is very likely to result in poor quality control issues with an inferior end product. ALL of us cannot sit here and start saying "we got screwed"! WE ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM!!!
Hopefully, Samsung Mobile division has learned a lesson from this. Their other Consumer Technology divisions excel greatly with high quality products. I just saw one of their Fridges with the huge smart monitor on the front door that keeps an inventory of what's inside and a realtime photo view on your phone while shopping. That's innovation! I don't believe FRIDGE FORUM Members were ranting about it being released early.
