True. Apple is less variety and fixed to a high price bracket.

Apple has limited input for iPhone and iPad.

What you get in exchange though is a device that is less prone to malware because apple is careful to not let you load up or interface with just anything from anywhere.

Apple is also very long lasting. By the time you go through several other devices, one iphone will still be operating well and the long term cost savings is unbeaten unless you are one who has to get the next generation every time it is released. I Still enjoy my 4th generation iPad with upgraded ios10

Apple replaced my broken iPad with a new one of the same model for the price of a standard repair. I paid only the repair cost and got a brand new ipad of the same specs.

But its true that apple repair access has diminished as they have moved to lock out repairs from any non apple authorized repair service. The latest generation phones will black out of operation if tampered with outside of apple care. I think it has to do with security now that the phones embed banking and finger print details. Why would you trust your finger print and banking embedded data with a road side technician just anywhere?
Apple is top notch for security. People with money, like to know that their sensitive data are well secured.

Its true that Android has the bigger market advantage but i am an apple man all the way even to the laptop for the reason of security from system crashes, malware and long lasting devices.
Apple operating systems are more stable and better protected and do not install on just any hardware. You can find android on rubbish phones like Itel that failed me in the first month. You can find windows on rubbish computers that crash so often.
So while you can easily download and interface with most other devices via android, apple is not so eager to accept any old joystick prodding into it with any kind of spermatoa of data and any viruses secretly secreted with the package.
My iPad is less likely to catch AIDS and die when compared to my samsung galaxy grand prime. Because android versus ios is like a faithful housewife versus the asawo on every street corner available at every price range ,and no serious restriction in leiu of deadly virus transmission.

People are likey operating personalities similar to the operating sytem of their phone.
" By their phone, you shall know them".
Or was that originally "by their fruits.you shall know them"?

Google's Android OS currently holds about 83% market share of Mobile devices,that's a huge margin compared to what Apple holds.
I'll give you 10 reasons why Android Devices will always be more popular than iOS powered phones.




1. Variety
There are different brands of Android phones. This variety gives users a lot to choose from. Some have amazing camera quality, others are beasts with amazing specifications. In iOS you're tied down to only Apple. You can only choose from the devices they have which are obviously limited.


2. Target Market
The Android OS has devices that covers every country .Google has covered virtually every country on earth and can easily detect common habits and behavioral patterns of mobile phone users in any country making it easier for them to know the best devices and features that'll work in a specific region.As for Apple, they simply lack that ability .



3. Flexibility and Control
Android gives you the freedom to do what ever you want with your phone. You can root Android devices with the touch of a button, Change your phone's UI by installing a launcher, flashing a Custom ROM or using Xposed Modules. Tips for Making Good Grades on Your Internship In iOS you hardly have any control without jailbreaking the phone. Even after jailbreaking the device, there are still limits to things you can do.



4. Connectivity
There are a variety of ways to transfer files in Android Devices. You can use Bluetooth , Xender , HotKnot, NFC and more to receive apps, music, photos and other media files. iOS on the other hand forces you to download music from iTunes and you cannot even collect music from someone via Bluetooth because some iPhones don't have Bluetooth support.


5.Budget And Cost Of Devices

Android has different phones that cut across every sector of any country's economy. There are phones for the High Class, Middle Class and Low Class. By reducing the cost of production for some devices, Android devices are able to meet the budget of almost everyone. Let's take smartphones in Nigeria as an example. Tips for Writing on Project Topics and for Project Defense

INFINIX, Tecno and Itel are owned and operated by the same company but each of these devices take care of the needs of a particular class of people. iTel devices are mostly targeted at the low income earners, while Tecno and Infinix take care of the average and high income earners.

This strategy has enabled these phones have a larger market share if devices in Nigeria. This is the same method all Android OEMs are using all over the world to cover every part of any country they're targeting. However , Apple devices are stuck to the price that Apple has set. iPhones are targeted at high income earners.


6. Availability Of Repair Centres
Nobody wants to use a phone that can't be fixed when it has a fault. Many Android devices can be fixed by third-party repair centers or personnel quite easily as their parts are readily available. The cost of repair is also relatively affordable. Unlike in iOS, The cost of repairing an Apple product is always high and the parts are always scarce.

And this is what a real article from someone who has the knowledge looks like.

Please you that bought data. Spend it wisely and educate yourself.

By all means you're correct. The op has trash Android could have some advantages over iPhone, bit not just any in he's mentioned. He doesn't seem like he knows much

all his points are irrelevant as per why ppl prefer Android. If you've ever used both before and you have the money and you need to choose again you'd go for iPhone.

Either way, it doesn't make sense to me to spend N400k on a phone that will be obsolete in 1 year.

Folks who bought iphone 5s two years ago will be feeling like crap right now.

And the ones that threw down thousands for iphone 6s last year will be envious of iphone 7 braggarts.

At least developed countries will let you trade in your old iphone for upgrade.

But for Africans, I believe it is an outright buy.

Funny thing is that iphone 7 has functionalities that about 90% of users will never know or use.

Actually, the number one reason will always be the price. Cost of iPhone is no doubt out of range for majority of Africans. If the price of iPhone will by someway be like that of most android devices,many will dumb their Android for iPhone.
But we all know the probability of an iPhone price being on the same scale with Android is probably not probable grin

Bruh, Even if an iphone sold for 25k, I wouldn't buy... Android OS rocks... the only thing that can be better than it is AI and it isn't available anywhere yet

First I need a trusted site link that confirms this. Then if actually google pick info from my phone, it's just info it needs to know, which every company even apple does. Buy when it gets extra, then that's privacy invasion!!

And yet google play music is not available in Nigeria.....?

But apple iTunes is! For years now.

I'm not done with you. I'm taking them one by one....to the end.

Any android phone that is just as good as the iPhone is also just as expensive or more expensive than the iPhone. A Google pixel is more expensive than the iPhone. You can afford an android phone because those are cheaper substandard models which apple does not make for the iPhone. So shuuuuuu. Check the pic uploaded below or google it out to comfirm

It's evident that op wrote this trash without a single research rather, pulled them all from his as$. Everything is just bullshit and i'm still wondering if you're truly a tech blogger.. And again, learn to manage criticism well, you need it more. Going through all the thread, all your post were quite a repulsive to me and immediately, i disliked you. You were enlisting your achievements despite being so young. The truth is, you're too proud and might not go far with that trait, work on it. Next time, gather your facts write. Tech is about facts not lame assumptions.

Good luck bro..

honestly I've never seen anyone go from iPhone back to android because of it's functionality.

Ihe only reason I see that make people go back to android is MONEY.

I for one met android before I met iphone but when I met iphone it was like a divine love story. Though am back to using android albeit temporarily due to finance because my iPhone was stolen. In spite of this I still own an iPad. Still everytime I hold my android phone, I can but feel as if there's something missing.

Let me state some reasons I personally prefer an iPhone to android anyday.

security
camera
guaranteed functionality/stability
simplicity
completeness

second hand value


God bless you.
