The reason why most Nigerians hate the iPhone is because they can't afford it and the inability to side load pirated media and apps. If I have the cash, I won't think twice before switching to the iPhone. Back in the days, I preferred using my jailbroken iPhone 4s to my galaxy S4.

Do people still have time to jail break?

Aside financial commitment, I don't know any other reason Nigerians don't like iPhone. Cost is a deciding factor in device purchase
Far from it. Some just don't like it. Tried the 6+, but ended up not using it. I use a Samsung note 8, and i can't imagine leaving the beauty and freedom of that for an iPhone.
But iPhones just work outta the box, simple enough to get the job done without stress.

aside you boss how many Nigerians can afford those. A Nigeria people see iPhone as luxury good. Ordinary to buy a phone of 100k and see people asking how many plots of land you already get. Please price is the first thing that scares people from using iPhone

Hell to the no. How many Nigerians buy iPhones brand new to begin with? There are so many Android users that buy high end Android phones brand new..I'm presently using an S8 and it's was bought brand new, likewise my S6 edge prior. Surely, i'm not the only one In thks circle. So it's choice.

Recently, Apple became the first trillion dollar company in the world beating Amazon. The company hits a $1trn market capitalization 42 years after they were founded. So if you ask me, I will always tell you iPhones are elegant and exquisite.

you could afford it brand new. Do you know why people buy used iPhone, cause they can't which goes back to the issue of funds. IPhone 6s costs almost same price as Samsung Galaxy S8 even with the former being better specs wise and recent

You are still not understanding something simple here. Most iPhone users bought theirs used and not new. Some could afford to buy a new iPhone amongst them but they chose for used best reasons known to them.

since I was born and am getting old now, I have never seen someone refuse better thing. Even the rich as sometimes frugal. Aside money there's no reason someone won't buy iPhone

So if I have say 200k in my account and i want an iPhone, buying a used iPhone is s bad idea? Dude, quit talking like a teen. Some hommies have the cash but would rather buy used than new and yes you won't notice the difference.


At the bolded, speak yourself. That point is trash dude.
