Samsung make terrible washing appliances. Buy Bosch or Miele.

And the thing would be so thin you wouldn't be able to fit more than three articles of clothing in there.

But if two pairs of iPants touch each other in there they'll start sharing things. Not good.

Thanks for the advice and when I come across them, I'll be sure to take it.

"you're making sweeping damning statements about something of which you don't even know the proper name!"

Which 'proper name' were you referring to?

RollingStones did you buy an iPhone 7-7+? Only reason I'm asking is your phone is most likely model A1778(7)/A1784(7+). If it is, then it's GSM only. So it won't work with Verizon or Sprint. It will work just fine with ATT and T Mobile. Technically it could work with Verizon and Sprint LTE, but neither company will let you register a non-CDMA capable iPhone on their network. You can find the model number on the phone's back, it might be hard to see depending on the color.

I'm sorry, Horace, but as you seem unable to answer questions, this conversation is over.

As we've seen before, you just want to be self-opinionated and it appears you have your own agenda - and you are always right - so I am not prepared to sink to your level.

Do you have central heating and air under that bridge?

Just - 2nd the bosch/miele statement, bosch is cheaper and will last 5 years before death, miele - well i got a 10 year warranty but its 12 niw and shows no signs of decay, its even stove enamelled, its whiteness is as new, and the weight inside isnt concrete, its a huge chunk of cast iron, its bullet proof i suspect...

Probably these days. A quick search with Google identified internet-connected laundry appliances made by GE, Whirlpool, and Samsung. I presume the other leading appliance manufacturers have similar technology.
