The phone i am complaining of is a brand new phone not a uk used

I read that. I am not referring to your own phone since it is new.

I am referring to the majority of us who buy iphones used.

Any used iphone from iphone 11 and below that has 100% battery life as at today possibly has the battery replaced or it was actually not used (which is rare)

Many people want to buy 100% bh. Many people want to be scammed.

I run away from 10% bh old iphones.

Original 80% battery is better than chinko 100%

My Iphone battery health went down by 4% within 3 months. Is there a problem with the phone or is it a normal something

Put phone on low power mode most of the time.

Put location off with the exception of find my.

Put battery charging to optimized.

Close all apps you are not using.

Don’t charge in hot areas.

Don’t drain to zero before recharging. Maintain between 50% to 80% at all times.

If you just updated to iOS 15, it seems battery health drop is normal

So which of these nonsense can't Samsung do? You can even move your whole old iPhone to your new Samsung. Which I'm sure iPhone can't do. Which level is the apple series on that the Samsung watch not on? Or Samsung buds not on? Y'all just hype iPhone and push down other phones. Just hype iPhone and leave other phones out of it. Once my Samsung phones are connected to the same wifi I can transfer files without Bluetooth or anything. So what are you talking about? Give me something special your iPhone can do not these regular features that's making you feel hyper.

Read through the post, decipher the tone of the conversation and decide if you are able to comment or just read along.

Forget all these hype, I even started using iPhone before I started using Samsung. In the iPhone there's no tweaking just a permanent ui, nothing fun on the iPhone just the camera that freaks people out and the hype about using an iPhone. I even stopped using the iPhone cos of the hype like there's nothing special about this phone so what's all the fuss about? Of course I use the MacBook but it's not the best laptop out there. The hp spectre is better than any MacBook.
Na Nigerian girls and yahoo boys make this iPhone tire me pass. Person wey no sabi anything about phones just cos he dy use iPhone go feel say he better pass everybody cos e dy use iphone.

They do not need to build any new operating system have you heard of android one? That's pure android without any stupid bloatware. Now it will get better because the chipset will integrate with android on a whole new level. Imagine more tighter security. And hey most skilled and professional app developers use the pixel preview their apps before making it compatible to other android phones. It's possible to see exclusive stuffs from apps that won't be in other android phones..



The pixel would be good at denge-posing for phones like Samsung and Tecno…Android siblings.

Truly. It is a good start, if they can maintain the tempo and maybe when google starts shipping out other system aligned parts then might they come close.

For example, I started responding to this page on my MacBook, went to the living room and continued on my iPhone without having to do any other thing than pick up the phone.

When i take notes on my ipad, it is already on my MacBook .

I use my ipad as a second display without having to install another software. And the MacBook cursor works on the iPad.

When i put on my phone hotspot, my ipad connects to it if there is no other hotspot Available.

When a call comes to my phone which is in the room and I am in the living room with the ipad or MacBook, i can pick the call on these devices without having to go pick on the main device as long as they all are on the same WiFi

If I buy a new phone and I put it on beside the old phone, it will automatically detect the new phone and ask if I want to use my existing phone to set it up.

I won’t start with the airpods and the Apple Watch as that is another level.

Hope you are getting the drift?

It’s all about the overall user experience and not just how good the processor is or the camera or the screen.

This is what google needs to do….baked into the os, baked into the hardwares deployed.

Google is going into massive optimisation. Damn, this could be the end of top giants like Samsung's


Imagine having the best smartphone camera ever
Plus you have your apps optimised perfectly for tenor chipset.

Plus offering updates forever just like iPhones upto 8 years or so. Like no other other company can compete with that stupid Snapdragon. And this could also mean the end of Snapdragon. Remember immediately google stopped Huawei from using android they died immediately. Where are they now?


but Iphone was at this bus stop exactly 12 years ago.

Do you know why iPhone can make a 2gb phone that will be as responsive as a 6gb android? It is because IOS is designed from ground up as an operating system for phones while android is just an inconvenient marriage of unix and java with minimal optimisation in order to be able to cater for the molue crowd of different manufacturers.

for google to meet up with Apple, they have to develop a completely new operating system for phones, wearables, tablets and computers, and then build an ecosystem that harmonises the user experience together into one seamless and automated system. While doing this, they must manufacture 'mercedes-quality' gadgets and not those plastic junks that end up in the trash after 4 years.

The mistake many android fans make is that they believe the iPhone camera is the outstanding thing in the apple ecosystem. The camera is one out of like 500 things. Handoff, airplay, sidecar, home, FaceTime, airdrop, privacy........the list goes on.

The new iOS 15 currently places Apple in the old Blackberry category when it comes to security. Facebook and other advert mongers are currently shitting they pants for this. If operating systems were clothes, when IOS is a full three-piece suit, android would be a full grown man wearing only g-strings.

Programming / Re: Xcode 13 Issues? by Denn(m): 2:26pm On Sep 30, 2021
* Uninstalled Xcode 13
*Installed 12.5.1 (Tip: Don't Update or Install Xcode via the App Store...wastes time)
*Xcode now back on track....

Advice: Dont Upgrade to Xcode 13 yet until the bugs are corrected or until Monterey is released (which will be in a couple of weeks).

Hello, I want to learn coding. Please is there someone who can teach me probably remotely or in person as I based in IB and I can be in Lagos as well but I’d prefer IB.

Please I want someone who will bring me up to speed within a short period as I am a very fast learner and I know computing basic already…

Please I want a professional who has learn EVERYTHING. Please don’t contact me if you are still learning yourself…

Id like mod to push this to front page please angry

Also I am ready to pay for the services.

@seun
@Lalasticlala

You want someone who has learnt everything?

In the whole world, there is no ‘coder’ who has learnt everything.

It is not like baking or soap making.

First , you need to learn ‘how to learn programming’

Start with basic appreciation tutorials of the different languages.

Pick one language and learn it from A to Z.

Then make a decision on what you want to do with that language.

Anybody who wants to teach you immediately based on just your post needs only your money. I hope you have plenty because you will pay plenty times.
Programming / Xcode 13 Issues? by Denn(m): 11:22am On Sep 30, 2021
I upgraded my Xcode to 13 some days ago and it has not been a pleasant experience.

First, it took extremely long to update ( over 12 hours despite download completing in around 2 hours)

Initial loads were ok but when i try to load a simulator, the app freezes and the fans kick in to jet mode.

I tired running in safe mode but the issue persists.

I have unfortunately decided to uninstall it and reinstall the 12.5.1 i was running prior.

Download in progress.
Phones / Re: Iphone 13 Screen Replacement Means No More Face ID by Denn(m): 11:22am On Sep 29, 2021
seunfly:
I think they v always discouraged self repair in the past, people finds a way to break that software in the past and they will still do same to iPhone 13.
My own is that people allows apple to bound them far too much.

The Apple Ecosystem is better experienced than explained.

I was an Android fan from inception of Android but became 'born-again' when i used an Iphone 6 some years ago. Now i am fully Apple and even learning App Dev using Apple's SDK. When you combine your iPhone with your MacBook Pro, an Apple Watch and an AirPods Pro, you will now understand what you have been missing all these years running a virus-laden windows laptop and a bloated Android that needs 3gb just to load an OS fluidly.

Apple was not against self repair before matters of Privacy became a concern. The use of third party repair kits can introduce a form of 'middle-man' attack. If third-party chinese companies can manufacture parts that can interface between the user's biometric authentication details and the private keys on the device, there is a tendency for breach.

Remember the case with Huawei where it was alleged that their systems had spyware built in.

Thats why i just sneer when i see all these Infinix and Xiaomi phones which are laden with bloatware that constantly send users' details to one funny server somewhere.

Apple products are currently one of the most 'privacy-focused' gadgets in the market today...and the game is just starting.

PS: Ask yourself this question: Why is it that all these loan apps in Nigeria focus on Androids more than on IOS?

It is simply because many of them would not pass Apple's Privacy requirements and will not work the same way they work on Android.

Apple implements a sandbox system where by Apps are prevented from gathering or modifying data stored by other apps. so your loan apps cant just steal all your contacts and messages (which they do on android).

Phones / Re: Iphone 13 Screen Replacement Means No More Face ID by Denn(m): 6:16am On Sep 29, 2021
And the irony is that Face ID is so sweet that it makes no sense to buy one without it.

For android humans, Face ID is not the same as your prehistoric face unlock. It might look like it does the same thing but it doesn’t. It is like saying Rolls Royce or Toyota.

My final conclusion. If you cannot pay the cost to maintain a lifestyle, you simply can’t afford it. If your limit na Iphone 6s, my brother dey that limit. Na same IOS15 dem dey use. Original Iphone SE still runs IOS 15 and is still very much fluid.

Privacy in Nigeria is one of the worst in the world.

Any agency can call your ISP and quote cyber terrorism laws just to retrieve and monitor you. To make matters worse, no sanctions are in place for people who use crooked means to harvest your data.

To reduce these, do at least the following:
*assume everyone can see everything on your phone
*dont buy phones from easybuy. If you do, try and format it after making all payments.
*dont borrow from those chinese loan apps. If you have done, assume everything about you is in plenty unsecured computers both in Nigeria and china. Everything.
*use DuckDuckGo for search and Tor for those websites you dont want linked to you.
*avoid phones with bloatware as much as possible. Disable those apps that you cant delete.
*review app permissions and modify accordingly
*dont download just any app you see. Any app you dont use at least once a month is possibly redundant
*dont click links you see on porn sites.
*treat every website trying to divert you to another website as a suspect.
*every website you visit has a tendency to track you. Clear cookies as often as possible. Use a privacy focused browser.
*Google and Facebook are not your friends.

These are just a few basics. You can research more on privacy online.

Business / Re: CBN Shuts Down AbokiFX Bank Accounts by Denn(m): 5:32am On Sep 17, 2021


Incorporate your business in the US and have an account here for your purchases and bypass use of Nigeria banks.

So how do you fund the account you opened in USA?

With Naira from sales?

How will you convert the naira you collect from the streets of Nigeria into value in your American account?

Do you even know the meaning of a domiciliary account?

Keep your dirty mouth shut. You guys are so wired to a financial system that is designed for fraud. Nigeria fx system is a fraudulent system. I have a US company and I use that to make payments for imports and its shipped into Nigeria. Why should I depend on a fraudulent system to actuate my destiny?

The person explaining there is suffering alongside you all that have to go through understand a stupid system in order to survive when he can simply incorporate a US company and do businesses in better economies.

I do not know why you guys are primarily Ape-like.

Mister Americana

You can easily do forex transactions from American banks simply because the. USD is the most demand fiat in the whole world. Everyone (including America’s enemies would gladly accept USD. Only few people would accept Naira.

This is why i said you are literate by half. Just because you have done a few micro transactions in one outback county in Texas does not qualify you to have macro economics conversations. You evidently have never worked in international trade before nor understand its workings.

Unfortunately you are not smart enough to learn from others else you would have picked few points since the beginning of this thread.

You do not need to source for usd to import, it is only in Nigeria you get all these parallel fx system. Simply pay your naira and get the dollars from bank at CBN rate to be paid out.

Having bdc and dorm accts destroyed Nigeria fx sector and must be stopped.

Now everyone is just scamming their way to glory under the pretext of affiliate marketing and importation and manufacturing. I am manufacture 3 products and I have businesses offshore too.
