as long as you dey nigeria, that you iPhone6 you brag about is about the same thing with chiko phone. You dey go beg iTunes for free app. Try use your master card see nah. No come makes mouth with that bended Republic

threadstone:

On the contrary, gtb nairamastercard works with appstore. Ive bought modern combat 5 there. Plus on cydia (jailbreak tweak market), i purchased airblue app With paypal(its linked to ur gtb mastercard as well).

For free apps download appcake

I can share/recieve files via bluetooth, download mp3 and videos etc...

Plus not all apps on appstore are paid apps. Last i checked fifa 15 is freeeee.

Best phone? By whom? Lollipop with its bugs is crap at the moment. Fantastic idea streamlining the OS and all, but with all the bugs in it at this juncture, don't even brag yet.

Ohh.. You started using an iPhone for the first time. Lemme guess, it's the new iPhone and it's running iOS8, yet it's been compared to devices that came earlier with less powerful chipset. Xperia Z2 doesn't trash M8 in any aspect besides the camera and it's cos of the ultra pixel gimme HTC stubbornly continue to implement. HTC M8 was the best smartphone of 2014.

Pick up a note 4 and see things for yourself. Mind you, it's running KK.

HTC isn't aggressive in marketing.

networkgenuis:

Bro we all have our bias and sentiments to a particular OS and or brand. I'm just trying to be objective to the best of my ability. I never knew a day will come that I will ever say anything good about iOS and if I think back to some things I said about it Sometime ago, I feel ashamed.

@ your comment in bold. Comparing iPhone chipset to that of other Android devices is akin to comparing apples and oranges. First of, though the Z2 predates the 6+, yet it houses a quad core Qualcomm chip clocked at 2.4GHz(3GB RAM) while the iPhone 6+ houses a modest dual core Cyclone chip clocked at 1.2GH(1GB RAM), though the Z2 boasts of higher hardware spec, the 6+ beats it hands down in EVERY category of performance.
Haven't you asked yourself why?

that's great. Never know that iPhone can share music via Bluetooth with others device

It works on jailbroken iphones. Download airblue app on cydia

I said something earlier regarding optimization and calibration.. Sony is one of the poorest in these, z2 was released in the first quarter 2014 while iPhone 6+ arrived late last year. Its really unfair comparing these two devices. Do yourself a great good and compare the below phones that arrived at the same time

iPhone 6+(iOS8), Google Nexus 6(Lollipop) and Samsung Galaxy Note 4(KitKat)


I await your feedback

and I have not jailbreak my iPhone 5.so I have to hack the phone now before I can use this app

1 reason iphone is better than android: iphone still sells like hotcakes

Apple posted a net profit of 18 billion dollars...in 1 quarter!

18 billion dollars
1 quarter

Thats the most profit of any company in history and ios devices account for almost 70% of apples revenues.

Apple is right now the world biggest smartphone manufacturer, shipping 76 million devices compared to samsungs 72 million.

the most profitable and biggest android vendor, samsung, is losing money and market share.

So in sum apple is skyrocketing and samsung is declining while you're here listing a string of pointless features.


Disclaimer: i have an ipad air, a macbook air, and a samsung galaxy s5 as my primary device.

A review i watched on youtube actually showed d iphone 6 going ahead of the nexus and note 4 running kitkat in opening recent apps/games while note 4 had to reopen them. D iphone slagged off when it came towards streaming services and at the end the nexus was the fastest in speed with note 4 coming second and iphone 6 last.
An important point to note is that note 4 was running kitkat and more lag is expected as u move up to lollipop. And both android devices were running on multiple core processors and 3gig ram vs dual core iphone on 1gig ram.
Its an impressive feat tho


No android device Will ever be as fluid as the nexus because the os is being optimized for the device. Others just lazily build hardware and wait for googles help in building an os so they can dump their bloatwares and sell off
My question is if u cant make maximum use of ur processors.. Why not build your own software

Back in the day every oem made their own os. Now google has made everyone so lazy even tecno will be shouting theyre better than iphone.

Im still awaiting a quadcore 3gig ram tizen samsung smartphone. Rubbishhh.

MsNas:

Because most of the buyers are gullible Americans who follow the trend. Most people here use the iPhone cos its the fad and its easier for older people to use than the Droids. Most phone carriers always carry the iPhone brands and its easier to upgrade. It's the younger people that use droids.

I for one would like to go back to my BB10, the galaxy is just to clunky for me. I'm never getting an iPhone cos I don't wanna be locked down on proprietary rights with apple.

When it comes to being lagfree. The ios is better. When it comes to firmware updates for devices, the ios is better. (Iphone 4s released in 2011 has ios 8 released in 2014) apple wont tell u to get a new phone to enjoy the new os features like android does.
The initial purpose of flashing custom roms was to imput new features ported from the latest rom build and even with that, it is not 100% perfect as some features wont work. I used cm 10-cm12 so i believe i know what im saying.
When it comes to being secure, the ios is better, you will never hear of a malware, virus loaded on an iphone.

The appstore is better than playstore ( YES I SAID IT). Every app that goes in the appstore is being verified by an apple employee, unlike playstore where a mumu developer will post a crappy app that may or may not work.
Even the appstore has better exclusive apps than playstore.

Shall i mention piracy is rampant on android ecosysystem too. An app developer releases a new app. In weeks wack developers copy the game plan, codes and re engineer them and release too.
Temple run snowden run etc.

Youre less supscetible to an attack on ios than on an android.

The proud mentality that android is better seems like a farce. Thats why we see threads posting iphone killers, beasts etc because they run android they think theyre better.

I would rather stick to a phone where its 1.2 mega pixel is sharper than a 20.7mp android camera. Its dual core is faster than an octacore android device.

Customization: jailbreak and see the future.
When you have an os that gives it all, there is no need to use custom roms

That's the dumbest argument ever against the unprecedented success of the iPhone. [b]

So anyone who buys one is a blockhead. Great. but ive always found android users mostly settling for less since most find the iphone beyond their limited means. Thus the proliferation of cheap tecnos and gionees and thl and god knows how many number of insanely inelegant knockoffs, the poor man's iphone.

Me, i straddle both worlds. I was among the first to own an iphone in nigeria (2 days after release in 2007), dig up my nairaland posts from the past (as neoteny and then ex inferis).
ive owned all iterations. Now i use the galaxy s5 only because of the pedometer and s health app (im diabetic) but only before the apple watch is unleashed.

threadstone:

But i hope u heard that dear iphone 6 trounced ur darling htc one m8 in a speed test even s5 too. With all the 3gb ram on note 4, its not as fluid as iphone 6 in multitasking. That was for the kitkat build, since u say ure on 5.0 i may have to see that too. iCant deny the lollipop is a nice fluid. Ive used it and i know. We can trade demos too. When i talk about androids i never do a mistake of mentioning the numerous chinese crapdroids that exist in ur ecosystem.
What else would u expect from probably google sponsored project? A blackberry?
Its just there. Forget the noise

Nice try. Its ur choice to get any device u want not neccessarily until someone forces it down your throat like you android fanatics do all the time. Your os is the best. We have heard...

1. The last time i checked apple devices come in variants, 16 64, and 128gb which i know your darling droids dont have at the moment. You choose what u want.

2. Thats the beauty of ios. Hardly would u beef to do a reset unlike ur darling droids :p. This is because the hardware and software are beautifully integrated together and apps do not hold the os to ransom like u experience everyday (force close, wait etc.

3. So u need a new remote and you bought a phone, congrats.

4. Just because you dont have access to the file manager doesnt mean all files are dumped in the same folder in iphones. A simple jailbreak will convince you.

5.youre right about itunes. But to say you need iphoto to copy pictures out of iphone. Come on, say something else.

6. Any oem reserves the right to whatever hardware it wants for its products. Ure complaining of cable, tell tecno and others too to use snapdragon chipsets like others

7. Apples ios is engineered in a way that the appstore is the sole location for downloading apps. This makes cases of malware, vunerabilities and spywares and other nasty installations that the android ecosystem is notoriously famous for. For jailbroken devices, the cydia appstore also serves as a secondary base of apps to download too. Be illuminated.

8. Guest mode accounts werent a feature of android up till lollipop which im sure u dont have on your device. However be rest assured that its not so far away from ios. By the way have u heard of family sharing.. Google is ur buddy.

9. Who the hell needs google map when there is sygic map there that works seamlessly with realtime locations, thousands of poi and the best feature, u can use it OFFLINE.
10. Apple cares much about security and pattern lock is on the lowest level in security terms yet u say android is better because of that. Hell if youre using an exchange mail account on ur crapdroid, u can NEVER set a pattern lock as ur phone password. Reason? Read the above.

11. Widgets? Ever heard of ios 8?

12. Tell me where else to keep apps beside the home screen. And before u mention folders, ios users have been enjoying that long since before it debuted on android kitkat.
13. Well u may have a point.

14. Thank God u said a few phones. Out of those phone users, how many actually use d feature. I had a galaxy mega for close to two years and i could count on one hand how many times i used that feature. NEXT

15. Point well noted. Rather than set that, ill ask my PA (Siri) to wake me up at five. Dasall

Believe me, ive seen it all. Rooting xposed cyanogen 7-12. Odin etc. theres no big deal in android. [/b]You deserve a lagfree os where ure readily assured of an os upgrade for at least three years on a steady note, where ur device has a higher resale value

Where d prices of devices dont drop like a steam pot
Where u have a beautifully designed os which integrates with the hardware to produce a seamless experience and regular updates which shields you away from the need to flash roms.
Where a 1gb ram dualcore device is more powerful than other octacore hexacore decarcore 3gb devices.
Where a 1900mAH battery would last u for 24 hours 3g usage
