Honestly, my loyalty to a certain phone brand died in a Chicago airport last November

I was trying to get a flight update on my phone and the battery went from 40% to dead in maybe 15 minutes. It was a model I'd had for 2 years and I'd already replaced the battery once. I had to borrow a stranger's charger and just sat there feeling stupid for defending that brand for so long. I switched to a different one the next week and the battery actually lasts a full day now. Has anyone else had a single moment that just broke your brand loyalty for good?

But that's just one bad battery.

Oh man, @kim_west, I get that, but I just read an article about how a single bad battery can start a serious fire. It talked about how the heat from one failing cell can spread to the others super fast. That one bad unit can ruin the whole pack.
