Anyway, somebody in the East shoulda done what Wolves are doing. Wizards or Bucks for example

My own is for Melo to join rockets. I can't stay in a team that paid $143 million for Joakim Noah and Tim Hardaway. Impossicant

iPhone 7 will only be the best seller if the buyers select it on "I wanna belong" factor.

S7 Edge will be the best seller if it's about design. Don't even add S8 to it cos it will over outsell it if based on design.

Remove the brands on Samsung S7 edge, S8 and iPhone 7 then ask random people to select their choice.

iPhone 7 will be the least to be chosen. FACT!!
We're saying the same thing here.

Rarely, people buy phones for design. After all, we saw Samsung S3,S4 and S5s outselling HTC and Sony then

The "I belong" set of people are still buying based on the popular reasons I listed earlier: OS and Brand. Design is the least bit of it

This your hypothesis has been annulled by that fact

Your argument doesn't hold water bro. I mean we have the iPhone SE. Why did people not rush it?. We have Androids that are more expensive than the iPhone SE and they're selling better by far than the SE.
People buy Apple for luxury.

IPad mini doesn't sell more than the bigger versions
Base imac and MacBook Air don't sell more than pro versions

It's not the same with Androids. J5 sells more than the s and note series combined. Same with Sony, Xiaomi, HTC, etc

But samsung s8 plus is close to that.....
And people are buying it....
I'm typing with one now and I bought it for over 800 pounds....
While iphone 7plus goes for like 750 pounds.....
I agree iPhone brands makes it the bestseller.....
But it's all about personal choices not necessary the money....
And like I said, you're basing it on choice cos you can afford both. You make up 10% Nigerian population

The remaining 90% can't afford both. So, they go for the cheaper one. If all the phones were going for 50k, how many will buy tecno over s8 plus? Wouldn't iPhone 7 be the best seller going by its huge sales in used markets? Think

Thank you jare

Like say new iPhone and s8 dey sell the same as Tecno, how many go buy the tecno? Na only Samsung Android people go buy and some go even enter iPhone cos the price sweet.

I no know wetin the guy dey yarn sef
Lol. Probably because he can afford an s8. Na why. He's thinking like his class. Or he may not even be in Nigeria sef

He's forgotten majority of Nigerians live on <$5 a day. grin

You nailed yourself when you said people buy Os first. Lol, average iOS user knows jack shit about their OS. Ask them and they don't know the OS their phones runs on.Some don't even know what's called OS.

Do take note we are talking about Nigeria market here.
What's the nailing there?

If iPhone were selling their phones in Android, you think those ignorant people as you say would buy it? No be still Apple operating system dem go buy?

Lol

Lol. iPhone 6 can be bought within 120 to 150k brand new. You are the one not getting the simple thing here. If a Droid user can afford to buy a phone of over 100k brand new or used, then he can easily buy an iphone. Folks buying used iPhone for 100k plus are simply those that wanna use iPhones. Choice
Nobody sells iPhone 6 new anymore.

Nope. The difference between a brand new Tecno at 100k and an s8 at 250k has little to do with choice. The difference in someone getting Tecno over S8 if both retailed at 100k is choice

100k? 250k? 500k? See the difference? Just because you can afford a duplex doesn't make you eligible to build an estate. Lmao


How much were those blackberries sold? Torch and bold were sold at over 100k new especially if you purchase a white or red versions. People still bought it. Choice.
What were they competing with? Symbian and early Android right? Lol
BB had the monopoly of their OS unlike Symbian and Android
Yet, new Symbian devices sold. Put the BB and Symbian at same price and more people will buy the BB then.

IPhone is simply doing what BB did back then


Regarding Samsung sales, true that the low and mid range phones sells than their flagships cos the Android market is over saturated. But it didn't stop S7 and S8 variants to sell like panckaes while the Note 7 were selling pretty well before the debacle. Choice
And you still don't get the point cos you just seem to miss it.

If all Samsung phones were at the same price, an S8 and J5 gotten for same price, how many people will get the J5 because of choice? Lmao



iPhone 7 retailed at the same price as Pixel and S7 edge but resellers in Nigeria easily inflates their price. I'm talking about base prices here. Choice.
Yet, iPhone 7 sold more than those 2 in Nigeria. I'm still waiting to see someone with a Google pixel because of "choice" grin

I know some folks here with S8 ans S8 plus. They could easily have bought iPhone 7. Some dudes recently bought Oneplus 5 and Xiaomi mi6 which cost them 150k plus. Choice
Again, S8 is 250k, 100k more than Mi6

And these people make up like 2% of the phone population in Nigeria. Let's say Oneplus 5, Mi6 and S8 are being sold in Slot for 150k. Half of them may get the S8, remaining 1% of the population.

You really don't grasp the concept of choice grin


If people will choose their phones on design then 90 percent will choose the S8.
If they decide to choose on "status symbol" "I wanna belong" then most will choose iPhones.
People buy OS first, then brand before design. Design is not to everyone's taste



One more thing:
Samsung best sellers aren't flagships
Xiaomi best sellers aren't flagships
Sony's best sellers aren't flagships
Vivo, Oppo, Huawei, aren't flagships

Only Apple's flagships outsell their base models, from iPhone 7 >SE, to Imac to iPad to MacBook


You really don't understand that 90% of people buy phones with price first, then luxury and that's sad.

You are dead wrong. Tecno Phantom retailed at over 100k and people still bought talkmore of the Gaalxies of this world. Nigerians spend money on gadgets, during the era of BB. Folks bought it new while some bought the used versions.

There are many folks that buys used iPhones on the street all because they wanna "belong". Oloshos plenty for streets with iPhones.

It's all about choice. You wonder why when arguments surfaces, iOS users are quick to attack Androids users that "they can't afford iPhone hence settled for Droid". When did mobile phones become the yardstick to know ones worth.


Some people order Oneplus, Xiaomi et al phones from china which cost over 100k but didn't settle for iPhone. You know why?

Choice bro.
You're contradicting yourself here

Do you have a new iPhone for 120k or 150k?
Do you have new S8 or Samsung flagships for 100k or 150k? Capital NO!!!


Thank Goodness you mentioned BB. That's the iPhone of 2010s. Used blackberries were the best selling phones then cos they wanted to get it

The best selling Samsung phones aren't even the flagships. They are the sub $200 low end waste of phones.

Sell an S8, Mi6 and iPhone 7 all new at 100k to 100 people. 60 or more will go for the iPhone, 30 for S8 and the remaining 10 for Mi6 which is where choice is.

You can't tell me if everybody could afford a flagship phone, you'd see Tecno, Gionee and Xiaomi everywhere. Lmao. Put a 500k price tag on any Android and it's gone with the wind. Only Apple can do that and get away with it.

The usual way an iOS user thinks.
It's not definitely that...

If any iPhone were to be released and sold for 100000, most people would buy it in Nigeria.

The grand reason people don't get iPhones over here is the price. That's why the best selling phones in Nigeria aren't even the Samsungs or Sonys but Tecno, Gionee and nowadays Xiaomi. Same thing applies for Samsung being sold for 100000.

Ask a local seller in computer village or even technology market section here. Sellers import more used iPhones than Samsungs or any other. Used iPhones are the best selling phones at Ikeja after new Tecnos, etc.

It's all about the price here

Performance is 10/10 all round, gaming is dope, camera is excellent, os functionality and optimization is top notch. And this phone is supersmooth compared to all androids ive used before.. im very okay with the battery.. i get 7hrs screen on time with 3g up all through. I don't hate android tho, but i can't cope no more with the lag. Concerning uniqueness, wats my biz with that? Im enjoying my phone simple
And how iOS is intuitive with their apps and ecosystem in general. Every equivalent app on iOS just has better implementation than the Android counterparts. And the multitasking and the connectivity between Apple devices and and and....I miss ios cry

Sadly, I had to sacrifice all that for some apps I'm using that aren't available on ios. Plus, the open source is sometimes a life saver especially in this country. Also, the inability to change some specific options could be annoying. Yeah, no VR
