I swear no Innovation at all using same design for three Years
Something Samsung Or Xiaomi cannot do

did it ever occur to you at some point that it may be a design choice for them... Right now if I show you a screen background with a notch, what comes to your mind first if not the iPhone??
Most of y'all really need to learn a thing or two in design.
There's no way you will see an iMac and mistake it for another computer. No way. Iconic for some reason

Personally, I think this should be a lesson to them if they care to learn about how not to go about interacting with people you may need their help in the future.
When he was away in London or somewhere, insulting and calling to arms his boys to attack Officials of the "zoo" Republic, how do you expect these same people to speak out for you. So you can come out to insult them again??

They are oppressing and tormenting their own family because of sit at home. If Referendum happened today, they will lose and lose big.
If they don't change their manner of approach, they are in for a strange awakening.

VTJN:
People are actually getting Reno all wrong. He's actually not talking or generalizing it. Ofcourse he knows there are people who can afford 100 of it without a blink. It's just the way he put it down that seems somewhat wrong. It all depends on your class and social status. An iPhone can be your need while it isn't mine vice versa. That doesn't makes you stupid or extravagant. You have the excess money to afford it without feeling it a bit. While i may have the money but can't go for it because I'll feel. It will affects my finances. The difference is clear

High class and social status
Lower class or medium

Economy is a social stratification

thank you... your last statement is what it all boils down to.

einsteine:
That's the problem here. You people don't understand the difference.

Needs are largely universal. They are not subject to individual whims.

You need a phone right, I suspect the phone you bought there was ones of lesser amount, why didn't you buy that one?
You need a house, why isn't people so happy to live in mud houses that are cheaper so they can invest the rest of the money?
You need clothes, why isn't everybody at bend down select market to buy them?

Needs might be universal but they are different to each and everyone of us.
Do you think someone who needs a phone just for phone call and messages and someone who needs a phone for other things like photographs and Internet connectivity will buy the same phone??

einsteine:
Those are wants.

That they pay insane amounts for it dioesn't mean they need it.

You need a phone. You don't need the latest iphone. You want it.

how do you know does are wants?
The point you're overlooking is that it's different for everybody.
If I ask you what you need right now, do you actually think it'll be the same as mine.
If I say I need money right now to go flex at Disney land, it might sound like I'm stupid to you when I should use that money for a whole lot of things (that right there is the problem, the whole lot of things you will come up with is from your own reality, not mine as you don't know what and what I have or want or need). which is my point in the first place

einsteine:
It is not an exaggeration.

Need is what he said.

The iphone 13 is not curing anything and it is merely a marginal improvement over iphone 12 which is just one year old. There will also be iphone 14 in another one year. Why many may want it, they obviously don't need it.

are you the owner of the many to know what they need?
People collects old cars and pay insane about for it.
People prefer weird shit like dominatrix and BDSM.
People are different, so are our need and wants. You can't use your own reality and generalize for everybody.

Druss:
Comprehension deficit dey this thread. Reno said No one needs an IPhone13. That is different from no one wants an IPhone13. Very different.

The sheer fact that some people don't understand the difference speaks to the lack of financial education and English comprehension. That is a very dangerous combination.

Actually projecting his own reality is where he missed the whole plot. There are people that need the iPhone 13.
Did you know someone bought a 1755 car for $100million dollar. Do I need it? NO. But the person that paid people to look for that did and I can't use my situation to pass judgment on him.
What car does Reno drive? I'm sure it's not a 2005 Corolla, does he need a car? Yes but does he need the model and specs of the car he's driving? no since the function of a car is to move you from point A to point B so any car should do right?

I mean it's 2021, shouldn't we at this point move pass all these recycled motivational crap we hear every year?

HEAVEN4444:
1-one is 12 the other is 13
2-the release date is different. 12 was released years ago and 13 is released 2021
3-the price is different too

thats 3 differences

the price are the same.. it has been the same since iPhone 11

jackyraw09:
You missed the point entirely. Read up on the difference between NEEDS and WANTS lol

The other point y'all miss is that you don't need anybody to tell you to live within your means. People buy Rolls Royce, there are people right now on a waiting list to buy the Rimac Nevera, Bugatti, Bentley. If you can't afford it and you buy it to impress someone that's on you, you don't need anybody to tell you that.
All these motivational speeches is becoming counterintuitive to what they should actually do.
I remember 2 years ago when Otedola was photographed with a featured Nokia phone and the whole motivational speaker geng didn't allow us to rest. But the same Otedola is on Instagram, do you think he's using the featured phone for the Instagram or an Itel amdroid? the same Otedola bought 3 customized Ferrari for his daughters, I didn't hear none of them motivational speakers coming to tell us not to buy Ferrari.

I think we're all pass that stage where if you have just enough to get by and you use all that to purchase something that doesn't appreciate, then that on you. All these recycled news doesn't cut it no more.

Elxandre:
It makes no practical sense "but it's useful for wildlife photography". Smh.
This is the biggest problem about Apple fan boys.
Any feature not present in an Apple device is a gimmick.

comprehension is something you should work on.
It makes no sense for that sort of range zoom to be on everyday smartphone because people will hardly use it.
I said wildlife because that's the only scenario I can think of why you need such but as I said earlier, wildlife photographers already have the equipment they need for that so it makes no sense either way.
Read and understand, not jump to anything to win argument.
Reverse charging is not a gimmick but 2MP ultrawide and other 2MP cameras spotted on the rare of midrange so they can be called Quad camera phones are gimmicks.... don't just assume things.
I use both and I don't look down on either as they both don't even play on the same field

Elxandre:
But if Apple made the 100x camera, it'd be 'innovation' right.
The main reason I bought the ultra is the zoom camera btw. And it can be epic.
No iPhone can do even x20 but the ultra's cam, produces very good shots at that range.

it makes no practical sense whatever for 100x zoom except you're a stalker.
what are you snapping from that far out that you can't move closer to
Probably in the wild but then if you're into wildlife photography you'll have the standard camera equipment and other machines for that purpose instead of say using smartphone.

Badb0y4lyf:
Samsung users abeg please tell him about pop up and how you can use 5 app at the same time in pop up window in real time. You just dey argue Granted you know what you saying you have fact and figures but You keep emphasizing on speed what is speed when the most you can do with it is play game on your iPhone. Besides while playing game all your running app may freeze or restart when u wanna reopen it. Which won't happen on an high end android ( where bigger Ram comes play).
You talk about Android OS been Heavy yes it is they can make it lighter as well but it would lose some core functionality like Ability to Manipulate Files, access root folders, directory and Path and multi task in real time not just switch applications like iPhone does.
On camera aspects I give it to the iPhone they have better pictures quality. Mega pixel says noting about how good a camera is. it just can take picture with more pixel i.e able to enlarge picture as big as some billboard with out losing picture details. many things come to play in camera technology. The software powering the camera the lens the processor etc. so that topic is subjective just like Nikon and Canon camera one is good for photography and the other is good in shooting video.
LASTLY how can Android be deceiving me when iphone is the least innovative of device imagin celebrating 5G network as a new feature that had been in use on Android phone since 2018. Screen refresh 120Hz since 2019, not to talk of reverse wireless charging. I was charging a friends 12pro with my Samsung wirelessly when he wanted to take an important number on his phone some time back. Screen technology dont even go there as iPhone never see am for dream to do foldable screen not to talk of curved screen.
Go and buy your iPhone 13 and be shouting speed and camera lol I will wait for Samsung S22 am even scared to upgrade self because this Note 20 I had use I never use all the functions finish..

I wanted to reply all that you just said but then after carefully reading through your comment, it occurs to me that it's not worth my energy to waste it on someone that have least idea on how the different parts of a smartphone works.
Instead of hating the iPhone for whatever reason you think is necessary for you, try reading about it, their ideology and their philosophy about smartphone, then you understand how the iPhone works and why it works that way.

You'd think people that have 81% share of the phone industry wouldn't care about the one with 19% but no anything Apple will trigger you guys for God knows what reason.. smh

Blakpot:
Saw this post on a forum. It sums up Mancity perfectly.


"Manchester City are basically a marketing toy for Etihad Airways. The name on the shirts, the stadium, the cheesy adverts promoting Abu Dhabi based companies. That's really what it's all about. That is the owners 'skin in the game'. They mainly bought them for two reasons, one being that they were cheap to buy (and the owner was desperate to sell before he went to prison), but the main factor was that they shared a location and name with Manchester United, one of the biggest sporting entity's on the planet.

They then looked around at the people who made Barcelona FC successful and made them an o££er they couldn't refuse. They call it 'the project' because that's what it is to them. A business venture, an experiment in maximising the advertising potential of their products. They couldn't care less about the core fans. They want tourists, and day trippers in Man Utd kits to come to their matches. They want people to worship false Gods, like injury prone Belgian defenders, who they build statues for Not for world cup heroes or Ballon d'Or winners, a statue for someone who just turned up, took the money and didn't complain!!

In the drone footage that they produced for celebrating winning the PL, they shamelessly flogged the corporate hospitality and tunnel club before showing anyone the actual PL trophy. This is who they are now. They have become the thing that they always hated. A faceless, corporate entity, built on sand. The sort of people who turn their noses up at Mancunians in the street. From the very top, to the very bottom of that club, there is not one real genuine Manchester City fan on the payroll. They are all hired hands. Pigs eating from the trough. And when they've all had their fill, they will be off for good. Only ever to return one day, slightly bemused, because some marketing dweeb in Mayfair has decided that they should have a statue made for them. "Erm...thanks guys...this is such an honour to have this pockmarked lump of metal that looks nothing like me! I will be sure to visit you all again in the next decade!"

The backlash against Guardiola today is comical. He isn't there because he loves the club, or has any sort of affinity to the fans. He's there because they pay him £18 million a season. And now that the clock is running down and he can see some light at the end of the tunnel, he's starting to let his true feelings out. He took their money, but deep down he is embarrassed by them. That is why he makes comments like he did in the interview last night. Even giving the time of the kick off on Saturday. Could you imagine any other manager saying that to their fans? He's serving out his notice, and settling a few gripes before he goes. I doubt that he will ever darken their door again. Unless they build him a statue!"

nice!... you should try out other conspiracy theories, you're good at it

Badb0y4lyf:
Lol you wanna school me on iphone. I have had iPod the big one with the harddisk Spinning before Apple dreamed it will make a phone. It is not hate I have used both my junior bro convinced me used for about two years More is better than less 16Gb will always be better than 6GB i couldn't do the basic thing a smart phone should do I can't find path/ to file can't remain file or even extension it couldn't even multi task basiclly just switches task. I can do 5 things at the same time in real time on an android what u can do on an android is limitless. If you are the social media picture music facebook guy then iPhone is for you. But me I want productive and iphone cudnt fill that role.

you can't do 5 things at the same time on any mobile device. What are you saying... the highest the tab can do is 4 layout... Mobile is limited two layout... how did you get to 5?.
The 6Gb M1 chip that's based on the A14 bionic chip is running on Mac laptop lineup although it's more powerful and it's running rings on Intel powered laptops and you're talking about more is better...
Android OS is heavy and need more space to run smoothly whereas iOS isn't and doesn't need that much to achieve it.
Also how come Pixels with 12MP camera takes better photos than phones with 64MP camera...
How come a 4mm chip is better than say 12mm.
That's why Android keep deceiving you guys but such it's the iPhone users that are sheep.
The iPhone 11 pro Max has less than 4000mAh battery but last as long as other flagship with over 4500mAh... that alone should tell you how optimize the iOS is...

You don't get the gist do you?
How many traps will USA keep evading before their eventual disgrace?
If they escape this one, it will be the fifth since last year.
USA is just a world power on the papers of Africa. They lost the status when they lost control of their citizens.
This is meant to drag in USA not the two Noisemakers.

It's only on Nairaland and when it concerns the US that I see people want #1 to also be the Challenger. The US are comfortable being the world power.
As you put it, China can destroy the US right, that why they are setting traps. Putting it in simpler terms, won't it be a good strategy for China to take over Taiwan atm and when the US try to intervene, they then nuke the US since they can. But it's close to over a decade now since China has been wailing about Taiwan yet nothing. Is it then Australia that should suddenly be a concern.
Smh....

Olympics have come and gone. Nothing has happened to Japan.

Badb0y4lyf:
Leave that guy make hin dey talk nonsense iPhone wey no get file manger u can't even rename photos not to talk of do basic stuff processor that can't be put to use than camera basic 6gb ram. Samsung is on 16gb ram

if you don't know something do a little research. The iOS is more optimized than Android. 16Gb RAM in an iPhone is a waste because it doesn't need that much unlike Android.
Since you guys like watch YouTube, try searching for real life speed test and you'll be shocked how as you put it basic 6Gb RAM is beating 16Gb RAM.

una hate on iPhone is what I don't understand, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is more costlier than the iPhone 13 pro Max base on their launched prices but nobody complained about Samsung. Your dealer in Nigeria is ripping you off and you blame Apple for it?
$1099 at current exchange rate is about 615500, if someone is selling it for 800-900,000; how is that Apple fault??

Ayo2004:
All these stories are pure irrelevant Epistles

The US dropped a deadly bomb in Japan because they wanted to force them to surrender
When they didnt,they drop the 2nd war
So what are u saying
What is the fact they are allies now have to do with that?
Are u saying they planned it on purpose?

No super power have fought major wars among themselves since the production of nuclear weapons

U think if Hitler had nuclear bombs,he wouldn't have scattered Soviet Union and UK when he was losing
Stop saying rubbish,in the event of world war 3, Nuclear bombs and other weapons of destruction would be in mass use

So a country with nuclear bombs would see another country subduing their military and will surrender while they have chemical,atomic and nuclear weapons for what?

Please don't quote me again,seems like u don't know the meaning of war

Go read on "How close the world was to a nuclear Armageddon during the cold war"... you'll understand better.
To show how little you know of Hitler, he never wanted to fight Britain in the first place. He was rather impressed with how they were able to gain colonies all over the globe. Even during the invasion of France, He ordered for Paris not to be destroyed because of its artistry.
Would he have used in as a last attempt, I think so because Germany never followed any rule of engagement in WWII. Reason why their military were all tried for war crimes after the war.
With the creation of UN Security Council, (if you even know what that is), modern warfare is very different. You're not allow to attack a dense urban population, or kill prison of wars and so many other stuff. Every war now follows those sets of rules.
Read more! ciao

Ayo2004:
Nobody expected atomic bombs buy US dropped it in Japan when they were getting tired of their tantrums..
There was no coming back when US bombarded Hiroshima

In the event of war,rival nations would do everything and anything within their power to win even if it means dropping Nuclear bombs on their enemies
U seem to don't know what war is

No matter how much a country doesn't want to use it's nuclear weapons,when they are pushed to the end of the wall and their sovereignity, territory,power and freedom is threatened,they would rain down all sorts of weapons of mass destruction on their enemies

Aside from US and Russia, I'm not sure of any other country posses first strike capabilities.
Japan didn't concede even after the all countries bar Japan had agreed the war was over.
Why do you think the US helped rebuilt Japan and is now Japan #1 ally?
Nuclear war is no joke. Hence why the powers that be don't want just about any country to possess such weapons, it's why the US are even listening to North Korea. Even Russia and US have a pact to reduce their warheads over time. why do you think that is?

You have no idea about what war is. In a stand off war, it's soldier against soldier, machine against machine. Full scale war will stop when one side surrender, or a more powerful third party intervene or the capital of a country is captured.
Think of it this war. Israel and Palestine have been bombing each other and moving on, those small amount of rockets that gets into Israel and struck down buildings, imagine if that was a nuclear warhead, that whole area about 50mile radius is gone for half a century.
Every war has a rules of engagement, the scenario of "We have nothing to lose" only exist in rebels or terrorista against countries. Nuclear war is a different ball game. You don't just through nuclear weapons all willy-nilly just because you have them

Ayo2004:

Did Hitler not Bleep up almost all NATO super powers even with the help of their colonies then before it was created
Russia has the support of China,North Korea and many countries in the Middle East

Though NATO has a better chance of winning,many of their countries that want to protect their citizens at all cost go too chop nuclear bombs unlike countries like North Korea that doesn't give two fvcks

Why do you guys feel like any small thing there will be nuclear war?
Like do you guys even understand the implications of a nuclear war?
Nuclear weapons can't be launch from just a about any platform, you need launch codes and two keys keeper to turn the keys for it to even launch. If one turn his and the other doesn't, the missile is going nowhere.
Go read about how close the world was to a nuclear war during the cold war and how at every last moment, the last guy refused to turn his key.
You guys will just come online and be shouting nuclear war nuclear war,
There's no sorry after you launch a nuclear missile and there's no coming back.
No air defense can 100% intercept projectiles. Imagine if even 1 nuclear warhead drops in Manhattan or Shanghai or Moscow, that's about 50years of no inhabitant there. Think about that for a sec

Lexiboyz:
It's funny how you arrived at your conclusion. I own a Macbook pro 2015, an apple watch series 5 and an 11 pro. My last android was the poco x3 Nfc. I am not speaking from the perspective of a fanatic but rather from experience. In terms of hardware the iPhone is great and durable, but software wise there is less and less productivity save of course for the seamlessness of the ecosystem which I enjoy kinda.

I am not a fan of either Apple or Samsung, I go with what delivers and to be honest the iOS is not productivity oriented. Unfortunately I have to deal with this frustration as I have no other choice. Like I said earlier, once I get the money, I will likely get the S21 ultra for it's elegance and productivity while I retire the iPhone to photos and calls which unfortunately it is only good at. And maybe storing some secure and vital stuffs too.

If you have used both and you're a productivity oriented person like me, you will agree with me on this point but if not then I guess there's no point for this argument. The only thing I can say to prospective buyers is 'IT'S NOT WORTH THE HYPE' depending of course on what you intend to achieve.

One more thing. No phone is worth over a thousand dollars. It's totally insane how these guyz keep milking our pockets dry.

what's this productivity you keep talking because I'm 85% certain there's nothing you can through at the iPhone that it can't handle.

KrazyDave16:
As your brand is touted for being "innovative", ask them instead to perform some innovative wonders abi they waiting for Android to do it so they can "perfect it"?
Also can't they adapt to what their target audience is asking for (which is to bring the Touch ID back in place or in sync with the Face ID).

P.s. - you aren't, will never be a part of their target audience. Now run along and look for who to trigger while saving up to snatch a used iPhone 13 so you can come here and claim bragging rights.

When they have nothing to say always come up with the personal attack.
You said "same notch design", if you are truly a techy then you should know the notch is a functional design.
Android phones that copied the notch design did as if it was a trend. Few that tried to incorporate the FaceID tech abandoned it as it's expensive to put on a mobile. Samsung came out with the punchhole and waterdrop design around the same time as the notch which also is a functional design but each year that Android OEMs release new phones with the same punchhole or waterdrop design, I don't see anybody saying " oh! same punchhole design".
It's so frustrating to see people that should know better joining the bandwagon to say something that should only be used in a motorpark argument

Youngboss54:
Bro, my grouse ain't with the pad series but the iPhone. I use an iPhone 11 pro and when the 12 series came out without nay major chnages, I was quite disappointed. And then everyone thought that the 13 series would make up for all the features their android counterparts has been churning out. But no!!!
My criticism ain't coming from a place of hate but rather I'm just a disappointed user whose hope was quickly dashed after waiting for so long. Cos I don't see myself getting a new iPhone just because of a higher refresh rate. Hope you get my point?

Maybe your disappointment is warranted from your POV. If you're using Android users perspective to judge the iPhone then that's a lost cause. Putting the iPhone against a single Android OEM and the iPhone will win 90% of the time. What they do is use every available Android OEM (whatever advantage they have to bash the iPhone).
Fast/Dash Charging - Charging a phone generate heat and in battery tech Heat is not good. For a phone designed to last 5 years and having a small battery capacity, what do you think 66W fast charging will do to the battery?
That's just one example..
If you look at it from a holistic perspective, Android OEMs have so many competition that they need anything to distinguish their product since they all run on the same OS. What will differentiate a Samsung from Xiaomi that have both have OLED display running on SD888, both have 108MP main cameras if not little things like battery size, camera zoom range, fast charging tech and so on. I don't know if you get the point. Like how often do you think people take zoom photos at 100x range?
But if someone wants to compare to the iPhone, they will say this has 100x zoom, iPhone doesn't but the main point of the 100x zoom was for the Android phone to differentiate or have some advantage over other Android in the market not that it was really a necessary feature.
Why you see one generation of Android have telephoto camera another will have periscope zoom.

KrazyDave16:
Yeah they fast but are they fully utilized?
It's not about being fast, it's about being fast and being able to use em to max instead of having em somewhat limited.

The M1 on the iPads are wasting away, waiting for devs to build apps that'll use the SoC for what it was intended for aside an overpriced media/school tablet by many...

Plus you saying that last 4 gens of the Bionic chips amongst the fatsest (and they are still), what's the point of a new one if performance across the board is literally the same/only a handful of people will notice em talk less of use the power brought about by each generation of bionics?

Besides you seeing the A15 as an innovation alone (something that's pretty standard at this point) goes to show you don't know what true innovation means.

Do tell the innovative upgrade of the S21 over the S20 or the Mi 11 over the Mi 10

KrazyDave16:
Same shii again, Apple releases another device which, let's face it is no different from the 12 and old features

1. 120hz RR (165hz redmagic 6s says hi) but many don't care about it

2. Emergency satellite feature you can pay your carrier to include (depends on your carrier though)

3. A15 (A14 got thermal throttling issues under sustained load, what's to say its the same with the A15 given the fab is somewhat the same)

4. Cameras haven't seen any significant jump since the 11. Always the same BS

5. Design - at this point, I think they're running out of ideas and would resort to sourcing from Android

Android phones using the same waterdrop and punchhole display is new ideas right but the iPhone with the now iconic notch is running out of idea.
Please since you have so many, tell us what design choice you'd do knowing that you can't use punchhole because of FaceID.
smh

Youngboss54:
In your bid to sound like a savage, you ended up making a complete and utter fool of yourself. Learn to comprehend and ask questions where necessary. If you've been following apple since the passing away of Steve jobs, you would note that nothing new or worthy of being termed an innovation has been made. No new feature, tech. Rather while the world moves on, they chose to stick to outdated designs just so as not to seem as copying android. Refresh rates that has being a feature on even low end and midrange phones, is what apple just introduced, and it's still limited to the pro series.
But please do well to tell me what new feature is on the iPhone 13 series that may be considered new or groundbreaking
That's what I mean by apple died when Steve jobs died

every September we have to go through this over and over again. Una no dey rest. Please tell us Houdini dey magic you'd perform to give a phone on below 3000mAh a 120Hz refresh rate on 5G??
FYI Apple used 120Hz way back in 2017 in their iPad way back when your mainstream Android big boy never did.
Apple is dead, Apple is dead yet no Android flagship phone line sold 100 million pieces maybe na ghost dey buy them.

What more do they want? Mazi Nnamdi kanu is rotting in jail for their sakes and simple stay at home order they cannot obey? If they can obey the supporter of APC govt how why can't they obey simple directive by IPOB? Stay at home and your business won't get burnt.

There's nothing wrong in people excising their constitutional rights. Most igbos I've seen are actually behind ipob and fully in support, if the supreme leader Nnamdi kanu can suffer in prison for the sake of biafra, what then is a sit at home that biafrans cannot comply with? The problem is that igbos is that they love money too much, but would you rather make pennies under fulani subjugation than give your children a legacy of biafran nation that would be the pride of africa? It's biafra or nothing, the sit at home must continue either anyone likes it or not.

You need the Igbos that are not complying willingly more then they need you. There's a way you can sell people your idea without oppressing them or destroying their properties.
If after you have destroyed their properties and by chance a referendum is called, where do you think those aggrieved traders and merchants alliance will lie?
They might not like Nigeria but destroying their properties won't make them see any sense in Biafra either

this is what I was arguing with my friend the other day on. You can't oppress the same people you say you're serving their interest. At some point they'll revolt or sabotage your efforts by jumping ship.
