Apple, famed for sophisticated phones, is at it again with the launch of the new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus which are the mobile phones of the moment. As expected, it was launched by Apple with so much pomp and pageantry and fans are very excited and look forward to laying their hands on this gadget.

Some of the key features of the phones are: Capacity- 32 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB, colour-Rose Gold, Gold, Silver, Black, Jet Black, Weight- 138 grams (iPhone 7) 188 grams (iPhone 7 plus), Display 4.7 (iPhone 7) 5.5 (iPhone 7 plus), water and dust resistant and 12 megapixel camera.

In addition, both phones have nifty processors, improved cameras, and durable battery life. However, there are certain things or features that may discourage you from buying these iPhones. Jumia Travel Africa’s No 1 hotel booking identify some them.

No radical design changes

If you use the iPhone 6 series, you probably do not need to worry about upgrading to the new iPhones. Why? Because there are no huge differences in design. The only noticeable changes are that iPhone 7 and 7 plus have bottom stereo speakers and 2 back cameras (iPhone 7 plus). Beyond this, there are no major design changes.

No Headphone jack

Apple has gotten rid of the headphone jack. Now, you can only use wireless earphones with iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Hence, you may be unable to use the earphones for other mobile devices.

Nothing special about water and dust resistant

Thankfully, iPhone is finally water resistant. It may not catch the fancy of Apple fans because water and dust resistant is already a key feature in the Samsung Galaxy S7 for over several models.

It can easily shatter

The iPhone glass screen is very fragile which means it can easily shatter when it drops. Meanwhile, other mobile phones are shatter proof even if iPhones are virus and hack proof.

Cost

The new iPhones cost $649 (approximately N270,000). And considering the economic recession, buying these phones may not be on your priority list. Unfortunately, instalment payment options are not available in Nigeria.

I don hear

But seriously people will still buy, infact some already bought it, infact in a video I saw on IG a Nigerian guy bought 6 or so. Please all these sermons won't get to some people.

In my village I'd use that money to but three plots of land

No thanks Apple but I'm sticking to my iphone5c

IPhone for this Buhari era? Lailai.... Buhari has led us into recession, that old man is a failure

Wetin concern me? Is it not their money?

thinking of what business i can start with that 270k

most Nigerian buy for fashion not for functions

Op is it your money ? Android people and bad belle

Consider if it is China made : In the past we've seen samxung instead of Samsung, we've seen Nufkia instead of Nokia, beware!! You might be told 5k for ifong(instead iPhone) 7s, PLS DO NOT BUY!!.

He who has the money, let him buy.

I will keep repeating this I wud use this money to buy 1 plot at IGOBA..

obembet:

Both starts with f and ends with -ion sound!

ANNOUNCEMENT! ANNOUNCEMENT!! ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Please everyone, I beg you in the name of God stop calling your loved ones names of cheap things like my sweet, honey, lollipop??, berry ?? , candy-stick , banana?? , sugar,chocolate ?? , Fish . All these things cost about #200, it makes them look cheap.
Names like my bag of rice, keg of oil,my bag of cement. You know the rest... Then your loves will know they are expensive. lol

Why I go buy am? Camon C9 make sense die

That's pronouncing iPhone in phonetics

Soon apple will release iPhone 8 without a speaker but you will buy an air speaker called ispeaker..

And iPhone 9 without a screen but external screen... ..iscreen


Foolish set of people sha

arafone:
The cost is more than N270k, it's almost N500k

Make una no just dey call price anyhow haba, simple calculation 650 * 400 = 260K. At worst highest price wouldn't be more 350K.

Shatterproof is more important than water proof.

Who takes their phones to the water?

But a cracked screen kills all the beauty.

Now that's something they should work on.
