dont blame apple, blame your exchange rate seriously. The device is $159 and shouldn't be more than 50 thousand of your naira if not for your government

$160 for a pair of wireless airpods that doesn't even have good bass is still too expensive. Even Americans know it is expensive and people that buy it only buy it for show off. There are lots of $80 wireless headphones that sound a lot better.

Nawa for Slot o.
The airpods cost $160 as retail price, and as retailers they can get it from Apple cheaper than that.
$160 even with dollar pegged at ₦1000/$ is not up to the price they are selling.
What is the line between business and greed?
Between making a profit and exploitation?

apple products are specifically meant for the working class citizens, everyone knows how expensive apple products can be, if you feel it is above your budget, you can kindly go for other alternatives. Don't work yourself up over that.

no one is saying it is not expensive, I am pointing out the fact that it isn't as expensive as the op and Nigerian economy paints it to be. If one can afford to get it, they can go for it, if not they can look at other alternatives, it's a device that one would WANT, not NEED.

Yes I understand u clearly. Actually I don't know what slot were thinking putting this thing a 180k. Even if it is sold for $200 at N500 exhange rate the price shouldn't be more than 100k. (Though official price is $160). When u remove the apple logo on this thing with same quality the price shouldn't be more than $80.

when and where did apple state categorically that their products are for the working class? What kind of rubbish is this



For the sake of those close to you I really hope you don't reason this way

if it was a device meant for the non working class you wouldn't be ranting all over the thread. Apple devices are super expensive yet they are sold daily. If you feel the device is above your budget like I stated clearly you can go for other cheaper options, if you say it's not only for the working class and can afford it without being affected then go for it and stop disturbing my mentions. I am not apple and neither am I using your AirPods with you . undecided

you must be really fun at parties, eh?


Here is it, I would not put my money on an average pair of earphones all because it has apple name on it (its not even about big able to afford it)



And you're talking cap you can't even defend. Millions of apple products are bought by kids and teenagers and you're still here talking about working class.


Let me just stop here as you have so far made no sense

To be frank those things are scarce. Even though apple says it's $160, most websites are selling for above $200. On Amazon it's almost $290 and that will run u about N92,000 when u use ur naira MasterCard. There are other alternatives but not sure all functions of the official airbuds will work, like activating once u put it in ur ears. But u can search for flossy Carter on YouTube, he has reviewed a bunch of wireless headphones, I'm sure u will see ones that are lot cheaper and better than the apple airpods.

Or if u don't mind check out Samsung gear icon which is gonna run u about $150 or N48k using ur naira MasterCard.

Bros no need to stress urself. A range Rover sport and a Toyota RAV 4 are both SUV's, both will get u from point a to point b, both have airbags, ac, leather seat, keyless entry, etc. But one is at least 4 times more expensive than the other. If u cannot afford something then buy what u can afford. It's as simple as that. Apple products are not basic necessities, not for someone still thinking where his next meal is gonna come from.
