I guess I just bought the right yet boring phone .. the iPhone 7.

The Note 7 looked crazy innovative besides full waterproofing, iris scanning..it be turned into a deadly weapon that could be used for mass destruction :-/

On a side note such a phone that floating around could be used by terrorists on planes. How will airlines handle this?

Airlines are already specifically the Note 7, I saw a notice at the security check in Amsterdam (Schiphol) about it. I wouldn't be surprised if a patch goes out soon for those color-coding x-ray scanners, that automatically detects a Note 7.

Having said that, this is a pretty small incendiary that we are talking about, and aircraft are several layers thick everywhere that a passenger can access. How would a terrorist actually use this to put a hole in a plane?

LOLolol I just got off a Qatar Airways flight, where they made an announcement asking any passengers with a Note 7 to hand it over. But then when disembarking in DXB (Dubai), I noticed a floor to ceiling ad for the Note 7. Epic fail.
