Anopheles:
Since when has a $1000 phone only been targeted towards a millionaire/billionaire? $1000 phone? Really?

IPhones are the best selling phones in the world which more than defines the word "commoner". Everybody uses one. Over 1billion IPhones are being used on earth. Does that scream rich to you?

Target market simply means they have a product that is premium and sold towards people that would spend more on form over function. Plus, their closed OS screams exclusivity. Is it your market? No. You are like most androids, nagging over price value and placing function over form. That is not Apple's business: making cheap phones for everybody. Mbanu.

Moreso, they aren't forcing anybody to buy. Remove headphone jack, they sell. Remove fingerprint, they sell, remove adapters and force you to buy fast chargers. Guess what? People queue outside to buy them. They're the best selling phone in the used market in Nigeria. Izzit for you? No. Then, wetin be your headache?


Lastly, you're wrong about rich people not using high tech phones or spending lavishly. That's the reason they are rich. Most times, they have 3 phones or more. A simple search will show Modric using another phone. Your darling Otedola was caught on camera last year with one. Stop feeling like you discovered something. Lol...

Firstly as regards Otedola having an iPhone, I uploaded a picture circled in red where he made it clear that his daughters pressurized him into succumbing to use an iPhone which they probably gifted him, thank you. Secondly, you made mention of "target marget" and with what I can bring out from your statement, apple removed headphone jack, they still sold. Removed fingerprint, they still sold. Removed adapters and forced people to get faster chargers... Okay now, apart from the fact they are saving some few extra dollars(maximizing their profit yet again of course). Don't you think they are ridiculing the people who just want to show off that they use an iPhone? Why would I spend a thousand dollar or above on a phone and they don't include fast charger in the package? That's apple scheme for you. In maybe 3 years from now, they will include a fast charger or expandable memory space and you'll see apple fanboys jubilating and dancing(wow common, fast charging as well as expandable memory space has been on for quite a long time now). Let us wake up from our slumber my people. Let's invest our money in things that will help in the process of securing our future. Not iPhone XS that in a years time, with the release of a newer model, if not stolen, cracked(loosing it's value even more), will loose it's value by more than half it's original current value.

This is Femi Otedola. Using his old phones to make call, send message, see his alerts etc. He said he was forced to join(screenshot below). Imagine someone like him that pressure from his daughters made him get an iPhone 7plus, is he now the now that will be changing every year ? IPhone xs kor iPhone xy ni

This is Modric of Real Madrid. A renowned footballer. A multi-millionaire still rocking his iPhone 5S

You're just not their target market. QED.

So who is their market target? The multi millionaires or billionaires I suppose ? Wat if I tell you most of these people don't use high tech phones. They just get their Vertu or Nokia and they are good to go. Some big footballers/musicians(alot of them). Still use their iPhone iPhone 6/7. These guys have the money but Wat do they need an iPhone x or XS that comes at a stupid ridiculous price? They are not trying to impress anyone that's why they stick to their iPhone 6/7. It's the "poor" people that always want to show off. See the picture below for examples

franzis:
Funny how the total production cost of a single unit of the present iphones is slightly above 400 USD but is being sold at a ridiculous price of above 1000 USD

well, every business aim is to maximize profit. In the US, if you are on minimum wage and have two jobs, you should be able to afford the iPhone XS in around 7-9 days of work. Nigerians are direct victims because of our ridiculous Dollar to Naira rate. Our bad economy. I remember when dollar was 160. I'm just trying to say Nigerians should support other brands made for our market. Imagine someone using an iPhone 7 plus(his net worth) that finds it easy to do basic things of life and has to be a burden to other people. Nigerians mentality should change. Let's support our own. We are among the poorest, we should invest more. Why should I buy a phone of 500,000 Naira when I don't have up to 10 million Naira in my account?. Let us invest so that our future can be secured. Phones lost value real quick, it's not worth the hype

Just see

Why do people actually spend so much money buying expensive phones?. How can i spend over 300k on an iPhone X or over 400k on an iPhone XS. Phone that if it falls the screen would break thereby losing it's value. Phone that can be stolen. Let's even forget screen break or theft, someone bought a brand new iPhone 8 256gb from a company, she now wants to swap with the newly released iPhone xs. What is paining me is that, the phone is still new, no scratches whatsoever as it has been in a protective case all its life and screen guard on the screen. Can you believe the same company she bought the iPhone 8 256gb over 260k valued the phone for 120k then she adds the difference to pickup the XS lol. The aunty weak no be small. She just carry her two legs waka. These things have no value. If I have 300k (spare cash not life saving), I would rather spend 100k on a phone then buy a gold chain of 200k or invest in a business or even get a small land, now that's wise. The problem is that some people who even use this luxury phones don't have anything in their accounts. That's why I respect the gaming world, Sony PlayStations and others are released at intervals of four years or thereabout, now that makes sense unlike phone brands that release phones once a year or twice a year. Let's tell ourselves the truth, once a new phone is released, you'll even see the company doing a side by side comparison with the predecessor brand and they will make sure they make the previous model look useless and worthless. To be sincere with you all, anytime I see any apple iPhone with touch pad(fingerprint) in front, it looks outdated. Very soon, when you see someone holding an iPhone XS with golden back, your iPhone X which can be recognised by its white back will seem worthless and old fashioned. And then they might release red colour iPhone XS and XS max(limited edition), which will make the same iPhone xs and xs max look outdated and old fashioned as the case may be. I've come up with the verdict that most people use this luxury brands just for show off especially here in Nigeria. The dollar is in no way helping. We are great victims. My people, let's invest and be wise. Phone is in no way an investment. We have cheaper brands here in Nigeria. I'm just trying to make common sense. C. Adedotun.B cc seun dragnet
