Samsung have a very ethical approach to the Galaxy Note 7 Phones End of Life

When you are a company forcing undue change on everyone, it can be perceived as rather overzealous, even if it was meant to occur with the right intentions. This however, is a very reasonable decision based on rational consideration. Samsung are very aware of the real world consequences that exist and have made a very ethically consumer friendly decision. In a scenario where many companies are able to deploy patches through their software updates to disable device functionality, this is one of the situations where their actions are very justified and very reasonable. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/dec/09/galaxy-note-7-samsung-software-update
