You don't know who you just quoted ( in the world of phones)
Btw, apple has never and would never give access to their server to government or any related body except the user decides to share his data by himself/herself

On battery
It's not just always by the mAh
Battery optimization by the phone too is very important
I've used almost all Tecno and Infinix phone up to Tecno camon 12pro and Infinix hot 9
Also iphones from 5c - 13 pro
I can tell u this
11 pro max has less than 4000mah Battery but performs better than Infinix hot 9 with 5000mah

This is what they don't understand. Iphone has less power consumption that's why the maH batteries are not has large as compared to android phones.

no,iPhone cannot compromise it's design for a large battery(that is why the models with larger battery capacities are longer/larger) I'll tell you that there are devic s with better optimisation when compared to the iPhone...the thing about these smartphones is; they rolll out new models everyday so as to make better improvement and that brings about competition..the best brand and model this year might not be the best next year and that's how it goes.
no smartphone maker would give you; good battery,camera, smooth performance and future updates and nice aesthetics...they'll always sacrifice one or two for the others

This phones you mention, I'd ask yoi again. Are they better than Samsung s21 ultra . There is no android phone on earth better than iPhone when it comes to optimization. Iphone 13pro max has a battery capacity of 4300mah and iPhone still kept their design . What made you think they won't be able to do that for 4.5 or 5k mah. . I don't know from 5k mah upward but they can do that and beside 4.3mah is far good considering apple low power consumption rate

With due respect, did you get it brand new?. Do you even check the battery health . You sold your 12pro for LG. You dey joke Abi you dey whine me. Why you dey na
In my opinion the 12 Pro is buggy for heavy phone users. I had to switch to Samsung when it was overheating unnecessarily and It was bought brand new don't even think of mentioning refurbished or anything like that I sell gadgets. The 12 Pro wasn't it for me at all.

As you just said 12 Pro Max. Issue is with 12 Pro. Never heard anyone complain about 12 Pro Max yet.

Your phone cant multitask ...

Run 5 apps at same time and see the result ..

They are ripping you off for those cheap phones same way iphone rips people.

You buy a hot 4 for 70k or 50k and and you happy its cheap grin grin not knowing that phone should not cost more than 20k as cost of productions on that phone no pass 12k .

damn speed jare... Where are we rushing to with speed? What iphone can do, android does also(access the internet, take selfie, play mp3, make phone calls) which are the basic functionalties of a cell phone. none has screen proof except screen guards which means it can still get damaged!!

you own a benz and i own a gulf wagon. and the aim of every car is to convey people to their destination. yours does and mine do!! if an accident occure, both have fatalities, we use same fuel, same traffic rules and you call me lowee? poverty striken?

paperbag, life is so simple but we make it complicated. to be civilized, you don't have to be educated.

No carry this yarn talk for outside especially that car accident talk ..lol
Guy are you serious ?? You think people that make cars and put price on dem are stupid ??

To even point out your faults tire me , i dont know where to start.

Are you okay ?. I use Samsung s21 ultra na iPhone 13 pro max and you are telling to get a techno . Do you guys even even understand how phone works in the first place . Do you even understand how OS runs and work?. S21 ultra with 5k mah and flash charge drains fasters. Do you know why ?. One of the reason is because of the phone refresh rate . If refresh rate can drain battery fasters do you think other factors won’t be able to. There is a reason why phones are called high end phone and cost as much as it does . What’s ur phone display ?. Do you think if ur phone has a better display like Samsung s21 ultra ur battery would last long .

Techno high end devices are the phantom series . Pova is a mid range phone and let it stay there. You can’t compare a midrange techno to high end Samsung or iPhone phones . There is a reason why itel phones last longer because the phone is thrash and there are no features or functionality that consume power . Learn to read
