Usage of iphone in Nigeria is simply a waste of money

Usage of iphone generally is a waste of money. Because even abraod you have to buy songs just like you would do generally. So whats the point exactly? For the exception of those that want to be obidient and law abiding citizens.

Dont mind op, it seems u have not used iphone before

Jailed break iphone and u will enjoy it all.

So it depends on what u want .things u want ur phone to have.

You see yourself?

Okay let me ask you can you use Samsung pay in Nigeria?

Nigeria has not fully adopted NFC payment Point of Sale terminals.....whether Apple Pay or Samsung Pay, neither is supported yet. My brother It is not a question of Apple, it is a question of the technology behind it. Even the Magnetic POS in Nigeria had already started in developed countries before it was finally introduced here recently. Hopefully NFC payment will slowly creep in with time and when it does major stores will definitely support Apple Pay and Samsung pay services.

Siri is a mobile digital assistant. I use it everyday to post to Facebook on iPad and make local searches when necessary. Siri is just like Android Google now but more intelligent than the latter. But who uses mobile digital assistants these days anyway??

Get your facts right bro.
chaaiii! D dude only asked a simple question. Dis is a questn of yes or no instead of making it luk like some sort of argument.

Buy whatever makes u happy. Do u think a busy man with a good paying job has time to be manipulating his phone? Where it is Android, iPhone or Windows phone just get whatever makes u happy (if u can afford it). I used galaxy s6 for over a year and it is the best phone I have ever used (apart from the very poor battery life). I also have an iPhone 5s which is the most reliable responsive phone I've ever used. I sold my s6 3 days ago and decided to give Chinese phones a try.

Bought an Infinix hot s for 50k still kept some change from the sale of my s6. That is my first Chinese phone and oh boy I don't think I will ever buy a Chinese phone again. Upon all the hype about the camera , the camera is NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT especially in low light. The phone lags from time to time and the screen resolution is so wack compared to the s6 and iPhone 5s, screen fails to respond from time to time especially when pulling down the notification tray. I am going to use this phone for about a month and sell it get an iPhone 7 or galaxy s7 edge. Really if u can afford a high end phone just buy it and get a rest of mind.
please bros let me know whenever you're ready to sell it please.Thanks

another sour grapes thread

i do not have the resources to own an iphone, therefore an iphone is a waste of money
same way the tecno jokers were claiming tecno flagships are on par with samsung flagships.

op doesn't have the resources to own an iphone, so all this is second hand talk.

Don't just speak from experience, speak with evidence based annotations. In other words speak by examples. Give me those features and I will use it just now and give you screenshots to back it up!

Silly thread, silly question. Is Nigeria the poorest country in the world?

You should have asked if it's wise to manufacture iPhone at all.

And how did this dumb thread get to front page?

Its ridiculous when people keep saying its not advisable to use iPhone in Nigeria. What is wrong with Nigeria? Is it not the same services that AT&T offers that Etisalat offers? What is the difference between T-mobile and MTN? Are they not both Telecom operators. The only difference that is discernible right now is the fact that the American operators offer LTE services and Contract plans. Apart from that there ain't no differences. iPhone is a smartphone with data abilities as well as GSM capabilities. You people should go to school and stop smoking weed all around the streets. This is the only way you all can learn and make your parents proud!

You typed so much but made little sense. You sha want people to know you use iPhone sha. Are all the things OP said wrong or right? Start with that, instead of running your mouth like open tap.
