You were making sense until the bolded, mind breaking it down.
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

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.

Plain nonsense.

How is iPhone X the first phone with AI tech when Lenovo PHAB and Asus Zenfone does just that with Tango technology? I have replied all these in my previous comments. You write loads of lies oo

Sometimes i wonder what Apple users enjoy about the apple. A friend lent me his iPhone 6 and under 24 hours, i got tired of it. Its a booorrrrriiinnng device where even if u had internet connection u still need apple id. Dont mess with android, its the best

Microsoft killed nokia with the windows mobile. Now they are engaging with the Android

Blackberry tried with rim but they are still tapping functions from the android. Even the stupid passport, when i see people holding that phone, i shake my head like these guys and enjoying with a sad face.

I see people with apple and i wonder, its just hype, no bigggi

I mean forget cost, if samsung made the infinix x551, it would be a hype phone too. Because a common x551 can do far more than some apple devices

Na only camera. Abi. For me if u flashing me with ur bloody E.Y.E phone, u on a long thing. Apple is an expensive splinter

I can tell you are lying in your first paragraph because you dont need apple id to browse the internet. Only to download apps just like android will also request a google account to do the same. So stop lying in other to bash apple and get likes

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!

"plain nonsense" and "i write loads of lies" meanwhile you only managed to reply one point out of everything i wrote. Really?

Anyways. Yes the tango tech existed but apple took it to the next level you are about to witnesses what the tango technology could not do in almost 2 years, within few months.

If the tango tech was so matured as AR is on the iphone, both Samsung and LG flagships would have had it.

And if you want to reply me this time. Kindly proof me wrong and not just say I'm typing nonsense. Cos its not.

Bruh apple doesn't use flash and i suppose the site uses flash, it's a secured device they don't implement any technology that could be compromised easily if it's necessary they'd find a way around it. The sim slot is for data solely. You can gift your device to me for free if your me tired of it.

Okay, but read your post and tell me why it should be labeled a "SMARTPHONE" and try to compete with ones that out-perfom it!

it's very funny!

Note: Apple (fruit) is #100 for 1 & not #80 in most areas. Back to the subject, Apple i-phone is class,it's luxury, it's prestige, it's a statement, brand for upper clasa & it was made for the select few irrespective of the features being available on cheaper brands of phones. Before now no big deal in this area of land back then e.g Banana island, Parkview Est, Lekki ph1(formerly Maroko slum, sand-field) etc as who wants to buy land there or invest on buying but then some wealthy few decided to invest there & cut class in it & live exclusively. Today it is for the rich because they invested a lot & don't want to live with some certain sub-class. So therefore same with Apple as it is for a select few (am not arrogant but just the basic truth/reality)

If you check the logo well well you will realize that all the missing bits & functions and apps are what was bitten off, the best you can ever invest in is Android no restrictions its affordable and most of all its yours to use as you please

Samsung any day over that overpriced peice of hardware
It is quite expensive no doubt on one hand but again on the other hand it is not really over priced. Have you seen an Apple i-phone advert on tv/media, cost of marketing, they pay the best salaries for their staffs, quality materials used in production etc. They produce for a specific market segment of consumer. I know how much i paid for my Lexus RX series car & i know how much a Maybach, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Jaguar & Range rover cost. Are this cars mentioned over priced?

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

I dont see your different comments saying things like animoji was not first on the iPhone. Or bionic chip? Or the face id (talking about the tech used itself?) are the not first on the iPhone? Give some credit to who it is due.

As for the only (one) point you tackled. I did not say you were wrong. I just said it was premature. So technically the first major use (as a matured tech) was on the iphone

Where do I start from.

1. They have carved a niche for themselves sorry but luxury isn’t for everyone. I have never used an iPhone that is hanging because of memory or something.


2. Security ever heard of iPhone being hacked?


The truth is they get there components from Samsung and the likes but they have just created that niche that can’t be ignored

what is this one saying?

You are Just quoting me out of context, Apple pays one of the highest salaries in that industry & not necessarily paying the highest salaries in the world of other companies that are out of Mobile telephony industry.
My friend works with Airtel here in Nigeria & was telling me about a particular mobile phone company here that pays higher salaries, has highest overhead cost etc. So if he does not know as member staff of that industry, them who else will know? I do not even use an Apple i-phone at the moment mind you. I got an Apple i-phone as gift from my sibling abroad 2yrs ago & i sold it off instantly without opening or using it as i hated it back then. But now am planning on buying a new phone soon & am looking at buying the Apple i-phone SE 64gb (4inch screen) so take not that am not really an Apple i-phone lover so my comments are based on my observation

You credited too much for Apple with baseless lies. Your points were Apple were the first to do this and that. Now you are shifting posts that you didn't see my comments when it still on this thread and it was prematured until Apple embraced it.

Bionic chip is a chipset like every regular chipset which power devices. How is that first? Do you even know what you write at all? Well the bolded says it all already

It's obvious you know nothing. Your comment said and i quite " you need Google account to download apps on Android" and i negated that line. You only need it to download from the playstore. You shifted to risks.

Chinese download app from other stores and their phones are safe. So many folks use China devices whcih doesn't have playstore in them and still download apps outside that stores and aren't even Chinese. You simply don't know what you are saying
