I learnt the IphoneX has phenomenal features...

But i feel all these features are always underutilized by your average user

NwaAmaikpe:

ollah1:

maisauki:

More reasons why I want to stick with my Tecno Camon CX. It's affordable

deepwater:
See the way you guys reason, you didnt factor the cost of Intellectual Property and ideas..

You think coupling up those sh.its would make the phone work like an iPhone ?

No wonder the uneducated rule the educated in Nigeria.

The educated just do not have a thinking faculty

EgunMogaji:


So is the iPhone X to some of us.

I'm getting an 8 plus and X. I get a new iPhone every year or so per ATT Next Year program

ikp120:
Instead of me to buy that thing, I go make my own phone.

GeneralOjukwu:


This is exactly what people fail to understand...

I used to mock people for buying expensive phones...but i started getting embarrassments when asking colleagues for their phone when i want to snap a picture in the field... that's why i bought a Samsung S8

Affordability is a very relative term. I have paid $70 for an old James Hadley Chase Omnibus. People around me can NEVER justify that purchase...

But it is my money

EgunMogaji:


I work very hard so that things I wear and carry on me are mostly first grade.

Life's too short and we can't take our CDs and money market account to the grave.

SpecNg:
The new iPhone X also called iPhone 10 costs apple approximately $412.75 to produce the phone. Check out the cost of each component used below

The most expensive component is the 5.8” OLED panel manufactured by Samsung. It’s price is $80 per unit which is way higher than any other part.

The NAND memory, acquired from Toshiba is $45 for 256 GB.

The 3 GB RAM is half - only $24.

Apple announced the A11 Bionic chipset, which is built by TSMC on their 10 nm process technology. One chipset costs $26 while the modem that is plastered on it is provided by Qualcomm and is $18 more.

The 3D sensor is also in the expensive category - it is $25. It is packed behind the glass on the front panel which is another $18.

The logistics and few production costs aren't included here though.

Recall that the iPhone X (iPhone 10) costs about $1000 (N400,000). So do you think that Apple is making huge profits from their devices?

Bro.... i am not really a phone person (just bought my first "big" phone) but just yesterday, a gadget freak at the office who changes these devices yearly made this comment.

He remarked that you "can now make financial transactions using retinal scans" or so.

The main point of discussion was that he said the IPhone 8 was already in Nigeria for i think he said 500k+ and he said the IPhoneX would cost 800k - 1 million if care isn't taken.

Though this is probably redundant advice, buy through someone coming from UK, US or DUBAI (UK is expensive though)

I bought a Samsung S8 last month through a colleague $679 = N247k

It's 300,000 naira on Konga!

If you have no friend coming in, you pay sellers for importation charges

So, the only way a gal can acquire iphone is by doing runs? Don't you ever reason that some people work legit for their money? Why must you reason like you aren't educated? Are you not??
