I use Samsung galaxy s9 and the screen on time is just 6hours++++. I don't care.. I still love it that way. Light is always available plus power bank. So why worry? The kind of comfort you get on Samsung is different from Our Chinese Makers lol ... No argument please. That is my take.

enjoy your phone sir. I will enjoy my own chinese brand with confirm battery and peace of mind

Rubiesangel:

nice one... That phone battery na killer

I'm telling you. Life sweet. When I had my iPhone 6, Samsung galaxy s7 etc, dem no born me well to watch two movies with my phone. After one movie, I would have to charge. But I can use this my phone to watch four movies at a go and I will still have like 65% no shaking. This is my first mid range phone and its really serving it's purpose. The only thing is the camera is not as sharp as others I have used(not bad at all tho but just ok). Maybe with time I would switch to a bigger Tecno of around 80k - 100k brand new. That one would be crazy mehn

simonjo:
Please note that most users don't buy premium phones on a yearly basis, many recycle their phones every 2 years. Even in advanced countries 1k is not cheap and as such many pay on a contract basis, so depending on your contract you can have access to premium phones about every year or 2 at a monthly cost. This makes it affordable for many.

For example att & T-mobile gives the iphone xs at about 34USD per month....this is very affordable by many who don't have to dish out 1k at a go to use a premium phone

For me I can only use a model of phones...which are phones made by Google and I change the phones every 2/3 years while the mid range goes off annually.

Nice post. They have a better system abroad. mtn and co can't try that cos some Nigerians are born scammers. Imagine paying 20k every month for iPhone xs hmmm, that won't be a bad idea. It makes sense changing the phone every 2/3 years but some people can't do this because of covetousness. Once a newer model comes out, they see theirs as old fashion and out of vogue

Ejadike:

I understand you but know that every man derive varying degree of satisfaction from various wants. Wonder why some people feel you are crazy, less intelligent because you love certain sports, culture,profession, TV shows etc. We are wired differently and man has been said repeatedly is a product of nature and nurture. Personally I use a Nokia Xl because I can't afford to spend my small savings on an upgrade. Not that I do not want to but I do not need to. I understand that and I am not feeling insecure or having sleepless night over that. I'm happy, I want to be happier.
However, numerous people will have sleepless night, depressed, become absent-minded, weak and socially insecure if they can't upgrade the Samsung S9 to S9plus just as it happens to us all in other areas of our desires. They need to meet those needs at that point otherwise they can become a danger to themselves and others. Every business understands these yearnings, so you can't blame them nor should you question the rationality of the patronage received and the patron. That's what brings them joy and fulfilment, they have a right to it and should not be made or portrayed to be less critical.
Also like someone explained above other upgrade to suit their business needs, social media needs easy sync of data across different devices but same platform.
To each his/her own, be happy.

Nice one. Too much to be derived from in this piece. Blessings

Twinskenny, na man you be. Some people for don "japa". See wat iPhone X caused. Imagine it was a normal phone of 100k. Wahala for no too dey. Mikkyangel, don't try this with iPhone xs max or else Twinskenny go come find you for America

franciskaine:
u funny sha, and ur arguments funny too.

Bro it's simple. In life we all av priorities dat differs from each other. Wat u value and place emphasis on might be different from mine. Dat a rich man uses a small phone to suit his lifestyle doesn't mean he lives all his life without expensive things. Same richman might might av wine combination worth over 20million in his shelve. It all goes down to worth u value. I presently use Samsung S5 cos dat's what I can conveniently afford, it in no measure mean I don't fancy the Samsung S9. If a person feels having zero account balance and using iphoneX is best for him/her den it's best for the person. Products are actually made for a target market and not for everyone. Choose ur market and get wat meets ur needs and pocket.

I'm not arguing with anybody sir. Like you said, your capacity is s5 and you use that. You bought your s5 and still have money left to "carry body" and do other things. It would have made no sense if you had used all you had, "starved yourself" to get an s9. There are people in this category and they are the ones I'm giving my little piece of advice(s), thank you.

OneGeek:
OP, you've only expressed simple human sentiments, and things are not what you say they are with Apple.

There are *target markets* for the iPhone, regardless of the fact that it's a luxurious brand, and it's not exclusively for the rich (as you're expecting) but for those who definitely need it. Lemme give two cases for you to better understand the target market of the iPhone.

1. A particular blogger has humble beginnings, he started blogging when his mom gifted him a macbook for his birthday. After two years, he wants to start YouTube vlogging, and he needs a phone that he could use for streaming videos: given he's already in the Apple ecosystem by using a macbook, he is better off buying an iPhone XS, XR, or XS max, because it is a device that has the quality of camera he definitely needs, and has an OS that would perfectly complement his Macbook; all his contents are seamlessly synced across. Sure, he could buy cheaper android devices for his vlogging needs, but it's "penny wise, pound foolish" since he might have to sacrifice some certain features.

Notes on case 1: There are a lot of people in the world who blog (and/or vlog) using a macbook, and they would need an iPhone to compliment their macbook. A vlogger who is serious about things knows that he has to spend money on a good camera, and good cameras ain't cheap! MKBHD normally uses RED Cameras and boy, you need to see how much these cost. So, $1200 for a very good cameraphone is a pretty fair investment for a vlogger, however way you choose to look at it.

2. A particular guy has been using an iPhone since the 3GS. This is because his company gives its employees iPhones yearly. It's 2018, and he needs a new phone for his personal use and office work, and his company stopped giving iPhones to its employees since iPhone 7. He is better off buying an iPhone XS, XR or XS max, because it is easier to move his enormous office files and documents from his iPhone 7 to a newer iPhone. And then, he would benefit from the dual SIM solutions on the newer iPhone, and he could use a physical SIM at work and an eSIM for home.


From the two cases above, I hope you get an idea of who is a target market for Apple. I know things are a bit different in Nigeria, given how everything is with currency and all, but in reality, Nigeria ain't even a target country.

Then, there are talks on how much Apple is making from its new devices, and some people are saying hardware costs are low compared to pricing. Hardware costs are just a fraction of the total cost of a device, and when you look at the total cost in comparison to pricing, it is fair. Let's take a look at the hardware, for example, iPhone XS has an L-shaped battery array; this array has gone through series of laboratory testing (laboratory tests cost money) which, if they don't do these tests, there's the chance that their batteries would explode, and that would be a huge loss. Research and development, for this calibre of company, would cost substantially much, and even if they decide to "cut cost", they would lose money (case in point, Note 7)


In conclusion, OP, you don't have to buy the iPhone if you don't need it.

God bless you for this piece. Those examples of people you gave are the "target markets" case closed. I'm trying to say, slay queens, acclaimed big boys(with no land to their names) and the so called "wannabes" should focus more on their future and stop reckless spending on this luxurious brand of phones they don't actually need. Thank you

Oh Lawd...

Mr man, it's like you are not reading my posts. Remember I said the people who comfortably have the money don't fancy all this things? They use their smaller phones or let's for example :once they buy eg the iPhone 6, they use it for a long time. They don't follow the trend. They won't dump their iPhone 6 even if iPhone Xxxxxxx comes out. So far the iPhone 6 is serving it's purpose(who are they showing off(poor man mentality) to? Nobody exactly . Let me tell you something, do you know that most people in this part of the world who buy big luxury brands don't use them to their full potential?. Trust me, they buy this luxurious brand just for "show off" and the little "accolades" they will get from people around them
