What does paying the best salaries to thier staff means? Btw, why don't you just buy 7 since it's gonna be cheaper now and more future proof than the SE?
I like the i-phone SE & that's why i want to buy it, told you am not really an Apple i-phone lover but that SE appeals to me cause i like 4inch screen phones. Am not crazy about large screen phones from day 1 that mobile phone technology landed in Naija so it's not cost am avoiding but just choice of likeness

"Samsung price is not that high" Have you bought any Samsung flagship in your life? Or even compare prices?

For the records. Iphone X is $999 slightly cheaper than the $1000 Samsung galaxy note 8. You can even say they cost the same.

And copy The new iPhones came with AR using just your smartphone, a new portrait mode that changes the background and faceID which is face recognition using new technology, and animoji and a bionic chip on an iphone. All industry firsts. which of these features was on the Samsung already
Mr, make points without insults! Some of these usernames you see here worth more than you think of their moniker!

According to one nairalander's comparison, iPhone 8 mates Samsung Galaxy S6!

From next year you'll begin to see this technology on other phones. It is the way it has always been. Apple brings that new thing that everyone follows. Im not saying other companies do not innovate, but just look at the list of innovations just the iphone X came with. For others, innovation happens once in a while. Over the years, this has earned apple the respect and hype it gets today.
With this post of yours, now I understand you!

You keep blaring "AR using your phone, changes background, which smartphone bla bla.."

Like that's your only weapon for this battle? grin

Any phone that is large or can't fit in my palm stress free & i can't type with on one hand is not for me. I hate carrying phones around like most people do, my phone is usually in my pocket (compact)

Everything concerning apple is over hyped, the main fruit is #80 for 1(money for 4 sweet oranges), the phones and laptops are too expensive also. The only good apple product is APPLE HAIR CREAM. Period!

Well, you will need to change this mentality tho because phones are turning out to be tvs in our hands/pockets. Secondly, Swiftkey on iOS allows you to swipe. I'm not so sure tho but you can easily swipe on Android keyboards

Any one that has ever used an apple product will realize that aside the durability of the phone and the fact that it retains its value over years......he OS is also stable and there’s always support for products that are over e years old self.
My iPad Air 2 is about 3 years old and still doing very well.
And not everyone wants to use their phone as a PSP, Laptop, Tv and POS machine at once. A phone no matter how smart is still a smart phone I’m currently using the S7 edge and I can tell you that I’m tired of it
Please go and get an iPhone!

Android is not for everybody!

Sold my iPhone 6and got it. I’m always inadvertently pressing the edge part of the screen always. It’s a version version and though the hotspot works just fine......can’t use the xender to create connection.
The picture quality on the selfie camera of my former iPhone almost seems better.
Plus I’m not a geeky person....i just kinda like the simplicity of the iPhone. I believe it’s for those that don’t need to root their phones and actually have a laptop to do the most important jobs

The edge screen is updated to understand real press from unexpected ones. You can create connection with Xender even in low end devices.

You are wrong about the selfie camera cos S7 edge has one of the best cameras in the industry .

Mind breaking down the simplicity of the iPhone? You don't need root in this day and age to get the best outta your Android devices except it's a low-end version.

Don't be offended bro, that's the power of marketing, brand names, and making products expensive. It make customers to believe that they are getting value for their money.

Do you know that even if olamide, Psquare, Davido, Wizkid sing rubbish, they go still rake in money, why because they are household names, buh there are hussling niggas that sings better songs who are still unknown.

If it were techno, Gionee, fero or any of these mtk phones, you for don come here dey yarb dem say dem be chino, bros carry your cross abeg.

iPhone anytime any day....never disappoints. Av had my iPhone 5s since 2014 tho I have a 6s but the phone have never for one day hanged even while the memory is full n with old iOS. So durable. Well once u can over come the Bluetooth sharing of files n all den u are good. Apple devices are worth it all. I have this friend with a 2014 Samsung tab the tab hangs anyhow especially wen he tried to fast forward a movie while watching it...he had to go dig out he's iPad one because it never disappoints. I don't know much o. But I just know apple never disappoints it doesn't hang.

First of all, I'm currently using S7edge and planning to change to s8plus soon.

And regarding the price of Note 8, you're right but s8plus is not much that expensive.

And as for FaceID and others, you need to do your findings. Every Samsung 8 has that except the animoji and bionic chip which I think they're useless cos I don't need that on my smartphone.

Finally, if you're in this world, you should know by now that Samsung is the fastest selling device in the whole world. After Samsung, you can now mention Apple.

Apple products just work. I have had several apple devices and I can tell you hands down, they are the most reliable have I have ever owned. Still rocking my Iphone 6 plus, of 3years while I just purchased the new Iphone 8. The Iphone 6 is still in pristine condition and I heard that they sell for around 100k these days in Naija. That is a lot of residual value for a 3year old phone.

Now to your experience with the ipad air, have you tried to do a reset of the device? I had a similar issue with browsing https sites, a simple device reset fixed the problem.


Don't let them lie to you.... iPhone 6 is now around 70something k.

If u are referring otherwise, htc is not overhyped. They make fantastic phones, but poor marketing.

I cant believe my Apple Ipad air 2 could not open latitudelearning.com to take an assessment. When the site opens, the point when i need to start the assessment is where it hangs. I used safari, opera and google chrome and i even restarted it. So much hype on the device. It has a sim slot yet i cant make or receive calls, I can even receive sms. I cant even access my file directory or transfer to even pc without first looking for Itunes.
So much restriction on this expensive device


Same thing here bros... Sim dey yet it does nothing a sim is supposed to do mother than connect you online ...Can't even recharge the sim directly.. in have to share date otherwise I will need to always get it out to renew the subscription.

But if you or i own the company, we will probably do the same thing. Its a good business plan. You make more money.

His s7 edge must be a US network one. He's to root to create Xender connection cos of the locking of hotspots. And root isn't there for the Snapdragon S7s. The other option is to install an international Rom

If you don't know something that simple, then you shouldn't be sure about s7. The selfie camera isn't that great to be considered "one of the best out there". My former iPhone 6 and SE's 1.2MP cameras do better in most situations. And yes, I've been using the s7 for a year now.

You don't need root but it's the Android faithfuls that use that as an advantage, which is a very moot point in this day and age.

Thanks very much. The 1.2 megapixel selfie camera on my former iPad Air 1 has taken better pictures than the whatever on the S7 edge I’ve been using.
