Buy whatever makes u happy. Do u think a busy man with a good paying job has time to be manipulating his phone? Where it is Android, iPhone or Windows phone just get whatever makes u happy (if u can afford it). I used galaxy s6 for over a year and it is the best phone I have ever used (apart from the very poor battery life). I also have an iPhone 5s which is the most reliable responsive phone I've ever used. I sold my s6 3 days ago and decided to give Chinese phones a try.

Bought an Infinix hot s for 50k still kept some change from the sale of my s6. That is my first Chinese phone and oh boy I don't think I will ever buy a Chinese phone again. Upon all the hype about the camera , the camera is NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT especially in low light. The phone lags from time to time and the screen resolution is so wack compared to the s6 and iPhone 5s, screen fails to respond from time to time especially when pulling down the notification tray. I am going to use this phone for about a month and sell it get an iPhone 7 or galaxy s7 edge. Really if u can afford a high end phone just buy it and get a rest of mind.
Selling it early is the best you can do Infinix and tecno phones loose value too quick Spending 50k on Infinix phone is the real waste of money to me. I find it funny when people spend above 30k buying Infinix and tecno phones.

Boss question number 1:

Does your iPhone 6 have bluetooth like my java phone?

Yes of course. Bluetooth 4.0 but not for File transfers.

And who told you Visual Voice Mail is for iPhone alone, it's also available for Android smartphones. Or is there any Samsung user that uses visual voice mail in Nigeria. VVM is carrier related and not a smartphone thing. Your point is no point but fallacy. Try again.
But who said that visual voice mail is for iPhone alone? were you not the person that was asking what services can At&t offer that MTN and Etisalat don't aside from 4G LTE service?

I have heard that if you want to get more juice out of the ios experience, you must combine it with a macbook. I didn't know an ipad pro would serve the same purpose. My next phone might be an i phone but I'm not ready to buy another device with it.

Yeah the MacBook is a good match up with an iPhone. The iPad Pro will not serve the purpose of the Mac. iPhone and IPad are both stand alone devices. The Mac compliments them both same thing a Windows PC. There is absolute no sense in buying an iPhone if you don't already own a PC.

You see yourself?

Okay let me ask you can you use Samsung pay in Nigeria?

Nigeria has not fully adopted NFC payment Point of Sale terminals.....whether Apple Pay or Samsung Pay, neither is supported yet. My brother It is not a question of Apple, it is a question of the technology behind it. Even the Magnetic POS in Nigeria had already started in developed countries before it was finally introduced here recently. Hopefully NFC payment will slowly creep in with time and when it does major stores will definitely support Apple Pay and Samsung pay services.

Siri is a mobile digital assistant. I use it everyday to post to Facebook on iPad and make local searches when necessary. Siri is just like Android Google now but more intelligent than the latter. But who uses mobile digital assistants these days anyway??

Bro, I'm sorry to say, this is NL, don't waste your time explaining this kind of stuff!

Get your facts right bro.

Bros I just say make I try am no oh. Plus I need a second phone and can't wait for the iPhone 7 as it won't be announced until Sept 7th and might not get to Nigeria until month end or even October. Imagine someone has the guts to compare a Camon c9 camera to that of s6... What an insult. Guy come see camera na, e be like camera wet dey for galaxy s2 lol. Even s3 camera is better. Some people will say it's hate but now that I have used it I can guarantee u all these Chinese phones are trash. Come see super dupa lagging when typing lol. Phone wet I just buy 3 days ago but then if someone has never used a high end phone he might not notice these shortcomings.

Why didn't you go for elephone P9000?

Actually reputation speaks a lot, because i use a low end tecno phone doesn't mean I'm broke, priorities are just different & clients who look at such minor things are not really serious about what they want

Well, alot of crazy things happens. And its real. Ur dressing, the phone u use, can land u a job, a contract or client

The iPhone is not a prostitute...u can't simply send and receive files via Bluetooth like other phones...that's why iPhones don't get infected by viruses. If u want a prostitute phone.. cheesy...get the likes of Samsung, 'Tech?..no'...etc...or you could jailbreak your iPhone.

Re: Is Buying And Using Iphone In Nigeria A Waste Of Fund Or Wise Venture? by Nobody: 5:37pm On Sep 03, 2016
Lol. Here's what I think though. Celebrities use iPhones, and advertise iPhones. Why? To make sure they get paid for their music. In case you don't know, in the US, data sharing for paid items is a crime. Yes. Its illegal to copy and paste your music/albums from your laptop to your friend's laptop. Steve Jobs knew this, and devised a phone with restrictions on data sharing. Celebrities liked it, advertised it for free by using them, and consumers followed celebrities. Lol. Consumers buy anything celebrities buy. All the official apps (on iOS devices which aren't jail broken) make sure musicians get paid for listening to their music. Spotify, Pandora, etc. In all honesty, I don't see what makes a Mac OS computer superior to Windows. Or iOS to android (debatable). That's just what I think though. I stand to be corrected

It could be a waste or a gain. It depends on what you use it for.

However, knowing the difference between an asset and liability is one of the things that makes an object a waste or a gain.

BTW maybe its because I don't use iPhone, I don't know what it can do that android cannot.

Using a phone, in Nigeria or overseas is base on personal decision. Buy the phone that soothe your lifestyle and not because of its brand. I'm using an iPhone, personally I don't like android because of its complexity.

They are different bro. The Apple Store is a virtual store where you can buy all the various Apple products like the iPhone and iPad. It works just like Amazon and Konga, but strictly for Apple items. While the Appstore is the application store where you get apps to run on your phone.

Look at my screenshot below, the first icon from the left is the Apple Store icon while the 4th icon is the Appstore icon.
