iPhone has value. It is very rugged and durable.

Any day I have enough money to get a Samsung phone and an iPhone, I will get an iPhone. I am not saying iPhone is the best brand of smart phones. But I know iPhone truly has value. iPhone is the most rugged brand of smart phones. With severely crack screen, it can still work. iPhone 7 and later versions of iPhone are water and dust resistant. Android is more vulnerable to virus and hack. Apart from Samsung, no other brand of phone has OS and camera quality that can challenge iPhone. Counter these points with facts, if you claim iPhone has no value.

Those who claim iPhone is overhyped are either ignorant of iPhone features or those people are indirectly expressing jealousy for iPhone owners. It is true that most Nigerians who use iPhone choose the brand just to brag, they don't need and cannot utilize up to 60% of iPhone features. Yet they buy iPhones just for show off. But it doesn't mean iPhone is not wonderful.

The only reason I don't have iPhone now is because I don't want iPhone as my only phone and I cannot afford two quality phones now. iPhone is very expensive to acquire and maintain. This is why many iPhone users in Nigeria use Android charger (many of you call it charger head) for their iPhones. grin Some of them can't even buy Apple USB cable (many of you know it as Apple Chord). They always borrow the cable or try to steal the cable. grin Most of those Nigerians can't even afford to pay for Apple music. grin Most of them use Oraimo headphones for the iPhones grin Oraimo is not bad but combining it with iPhone is like using Toyota rim for Benz. grin

I, as a guy that is yet to be rich, don't want iPhone as my only phone because of my environment and what I do with my smart phone. I don't have an Apple laptop for quick and smooth sharing of files between an iPhone and my laptop. My laptop is Windows. Snapdrop for iOS and Android does not work as well as airdrop for iOS and iOS. And I cannot afford to use internet data (subscription) for everything. Otherwise, I would have bought an iPhone and use cloud storage space to share files between my Windows laptop and my iPhone. Also most of the people around me use Windows and Android and I constantly share files with those people. This is why I have been using Samsung for years. I have bought at least 3 different Samsung phones for myself. The last one I got cost almost 300k and I know I can use less than that amount to get a used iPhone 12. If I want iPhone as my only phone, I could have gotten one already.


so all this talk just cos of iPhone

The word best is relative.
Can you locate a .doc file in iPhone? Very easy to locate in Android.

You definitely don't know the difference between virus and malware. And you're kidding if you think iPhones doesn't hang.

There's so much ignorance in your post. I agree the apple ecosystem is good but Samsung and Microsoft also have seamless connection while working with files. I can be working on a file on my Samsung phone and continue with it on any windows laptop and vice versa. Galaxy gears work seamlessly too this same way apple watch work with airpords and all. My point is you shouldn't make it seem like only apple products are capable of these but I must admit the apple ecosystem is very good.

Aside second hand selling value and nice camera, IPhone is just an expensive toy.. I’m typing this with an iphone

An iphone is like a Toyota brand, look at the 2003 - 2006 Corolla, selling for as much as 3mill. More than some luxury cars of same year but not really better.

Afterall said, i am still a die-hard Android fanboy. There is this freedom and innovation Android brings that Apple cant.

Trust me, some of those people using expensive iPhones don't have 5k in their account.
They either got it as a gift after so many strapping, or they used their entire savings to buy the phone just for the shows.
Is not about who get money pass.

apart from that, the guy doesn't also know that there are Android phones that are more expensive than iPhones. He\she thinks that the only Android phones are itel, infinix, Tecno and Xaiomi, he forgot that Samsung ultra series are very expensive, Samsung fold series are also very expensive, OnePlus and some many other high-end Android phones are in the market.
Google pixel madt...
Iphone is ahead with the OS they own and processor... After that many flagship android are crazy mehn... Flagship from oneplus xaiomi OPPO Motorola are really on point... Huawei should have been leading the market ... But Trump saved apple with that ban ... If not ...

Iphone is actually cheaper to maintain. The screens are cheaper, the battery is cheaper, infact the parts are easily changeable and cheaper and also available.

I never mentioned USB C anywhere in my post. I said Apple USB cable. Read it again. Doesn't iPhone have USB cable?

You people wrongly call cable charger. Many iPhone users in Nigeria combine Apple USB cable and Android charger to charge iPhone. Is it because I didn't say charger head? Okay, that thing you call charger head is what I am talking about. Many Nigerians that own iPhone use Android charge head to charge their iPhones.
oga, I just won tell you say you no get sense at all! undecided

Which one be android charger and iPhone charger again? undecided

Charger na charger mumu!
As long as the type of charger dey produce the required voltage and watt for that particular phone. It will work well be it iPhone charger or android charger

Once again! Oga you be mumu I swear! Do you know that charger got automatic voltage and watt regulatory system? undecided

I can use my Samsung 60watt charger to charge my iPhone of 18watt required to charge my iPhone!
The iPhone will just take it required 18watt out of the 60watt charger and the charger will automatically adjust base on the phone undecided

Apple sells an ecosystem.

You own an iphone, a MacBook pro, an apple watch, airpods pro and maybe an ipad.

When you own these devices and all connected to the same icloud account, you would understand the beauty of the ecosystem.

Android and Windows PC users will never understand how an ecosystem works until they experience it.

People who say apple devices don’t have value possibly dont know what value means or have no idea about how productivity can be increased if all your devices belong to an ecosystem.

You take a picture on your phone and it is available on your pc. Or you are working on a document on your ipad and it is there on your phone.

Or you are listening to music on your laptop via your airpods, you pick stand up to go outside to buy eggs and the music continues via your Apple Watch to stream into your airpods.

Your messages come to all devices. Then you have full device tracking prevention plus the best privacy any system can offer for free.

Many years ago, before I understood the apple ecosystem, i always yabbed apple too. Until i got my first iphone and I noticed that it was not obtrusive, then i got a MacBook pro and i saw the light. It was a rude awakening.

There is a reason why most prodictive-minded people currently use Apple.

For over 10 years, intel stagnated on processor design, just repolishing same specs, albeit increasing efficiency. Apple left old intel at the car park and went to develop their own silicon and revolutionized the industry with the M1 chip.

Apple is in its own corner. Hate all you want. Nemo dat quod non habet.

IPhone users please share your experience about the device , does it really worth it?
I've used an iPhone before but since I started using Sony experia Android phones, I've not really missed iphone and this are my reasons. 1- they are too expensive even if you are getting an old model.
2- this is the most annoying for me, why the hell does Apple have the right to make my phone obsolete. The moment your phone is dropped from receiving new IOS update and the app developers stop supporting the version you are on, the phone can no longer support that app and your phone becomes boring as hell.

My experia is five years old and the fact that I don't have to worry about missing out on any of my favorite app means I won't be changing it anytime soon.

Was about to say this... They have been in the software industry for long than their competitor... Been long in the game is an advantage... Imagine if Samsung owns windows and Android... Apple wont be able to come close
