Indeed, it took Samsung to develop that technology.*

*Joke; in fact Israeli security services invented it in the '90s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahya_Ayyash). Also there aren't reported fatalities from Note 7 explosions.

This is a good counterargument to anyone who says Samsung just copies Apple :D

To be fair, Apple got there first, although I doubt they're proud of it, and probably they were not the absolute first.

A very small number of iPhone 4 (or was it 4S?) had defective batteries which caught fire.

What Samsung can claim an absolute first for, though, is providing replacements which are just as dangerous.
