You got an iphone that the screen was replaced and touch id mixed up. Only d touch id from d faulty screen will work with d fone. No solution.

The LG G4 is a beast of a phone. I wonder how a smartphone can posses so many features. If you carry this phone in public, it comands respect & attract eyes, Even ladies cheesy cheesy

You can get the original LG G4 here for cheap >> www.nairaland.com/2474834/brand-new-lg-g4-sale

my opinion is all devices are unique in their own way and soon after they all fade off their uniqueness,even the 3310 that use to be the lord of the ring is now found in the museum as a friendly history reminder..but all I can say is iPhone is meant for WiFi that's why it consumes more data here in naija but looking at the functions,hmmm iPhone na don oooo,abegg na who no get money for automatic vehicle dey say no be push and start...lol #team_iphone

@ Gerrard59
The major flaw youll get using an iphone is that many people with low self esteem emanating from their devices (tecno jiayu infinix and a host of other android devices) will always tell you u made a mistake, its a crappy phone etc. majority of those saying shit about the phone have not used one and the few who have don't totally know the in-depth usage of it..
Another is most of them jumped straight to android up from java phones and bb os 4-7 thats why android is their all in all..

One person was even mentioing changing imei.. Go and try that with regular android oems and not ur chinese knockoffs

Which smartphone doesn't require data to run?
A simple jailbreak will clear out all limitations placed on it..

Airblue sharing allows bluetooth transfer
Bridge allows downloaded music straight to iTunes without pc connections
Barrel gives home screen custom animations
Appcake allows you to download paid apps free. Swipe selection, c.c settings, Winterboard weatherbord etc
You can download anything by default with idownloader.

Once u root an android u lose warranty, whats keeping you from jailbreaking.

On the final end, stick to a device that will guarantee you lag free software with updates running three years minimum. Iphone 4s released in 2011 is currently running 2015 ios 8.2 while samsung s5 is still queing for android lollipop.

#Team ios 8.1.2 4.7'
Jailbroken

Hey bro let's relate...just got an air2 and getting initiated gradually after 3 different Samsungs.

Re: What Are The Pros And Cons Of Owning An Iphone In Nigeria? by Eggheaded(m): 10:30pm On Jul 18, 2016
I prefer Iphone to android because
1. There are educational apps that you can't find anywhere e.g. Encyclopædia Britannica (complete all in one)
2. It is battery efficient
3. Background running apps consume less data
4. Built-in ability to select which app can access to internet when data is on
5. Camera (2mp of Iphone is better than Android 13mp )
6. Classy
7. Pride (you are pressume RICH if you OWN and KEEPS YOU DATA ALWAYS ON )
8. RARE
9. No Bloatware
10. No annoying ads
11. Easy to use
12. Best apps first
13. Better Hardware and Software Integration (play temple run on droid & Iphone and compare )

Having used 10 android phones, I still love Android and the
community around it. I still recommend Android phones to friends and family when I think it fits
them best. Having an iPhone doesn’t change that

See how u just want to buy wahala!I was using an iphone 5 I got as a gift which I had to sell!I laugh at you in greek if after all I wil say,you still decide to get the 5s!.I'll start with the pros-1.it is a small cute phone.I love the design and size.
2.It is an overhyped and annoyingly overpriced phone which makes it command respect.You can't see jst anyone using it.when u are out and people will be like 'wow,you use an iphone?' And u say 'yep'( with u smiling internally),that's as good as it gets!
Cons-[b]
1.You can't use bluetooth.you hear a nice song playing or u intend getting a picture.brother,you can't use bluetooth o!except its a transfer from iphone to iphone.now how many people wwud own an iphone where u work or sch?
2.You can't download songs,videos,pdf files...in fact anything from d internet.yes..so if u love free music don't bother!I remember I had to buy ed sheeran's bloodstream and thinking out loud songs from itunes for like 400 naira after d naira got devalued.the frustration I felt that day eh!
3.when u buy it,u can't just add your favourite songs o..u need the itunes app on ur pc to sync the songs into ur phone..if u r foolish enough to give it to slot guys to add songs for u,that's ur doom.The day u get your own itunes app on ur pc,all the previous songs and videos not synced with ur apple I'd will be wiped!
4.The appstore is the crappiest av seen after that of windows os..for files over 100mb,you wud need wifi or no download!you must upgrade to the latest ios 8 or you can't download some apps!once you are on ios 8,you can't downgrade it or jailbreak ur iphone!you see?
5.Many of the fun stuffs on it are better enjoyed in u.s eg hv u seen someone using imessage in nigeria?nada!
There are many more cons in buying an iphone..bt let me stop here!now the decision is yours to make.[/b]
You can do all of these things when you jailbreak(root) your iphone. Meanwhile i wouldn't exactly say that the 5s commands respect in 2016, especially when it would have 3 successors by september.

Man, you killed it. This is 2019 so what I say may come off as ignorant, but here goes.

I got an iPad 4 from an auction. It was OS8, 12gb storage.
Now, I've set up iPads before, played games on them before but I've never owned one. I've used symbian phones (smart nokias) and my first Android was a techno N3 (which I eventually gave my brother and is still bloody working to this day).

Anyway, owning the iPad 4, I tried to tinker with it the way I am used to with my other operating systems. I found the app store to be really clumsy (and I remind you, I've set these things up for other people).
It seemed to me that Apple has a philosophy to force users to upgrade. I say this because many of the apps I wanted were not compatible with the OS. On an Android system, backwards compatibility is quite reliable. You hardly worry about your phone literally becoming outdated.

I don't know how things are different in 2019, but I know I will never voluntarily get an apple product. It's a fine device as a status symbol, but it's not practical for a power user.
