Make una leave ppl to buy their iPhone na, whether luxury or non luxury, e nr matter, so long the buyer dey satisfied no wahala. Make una remember say to some people, na MTK processors dem need, going for snapdragon chips na luxury to dem . Different users get wetin dem need, for me for instance, aesthetics must be properly ticked, plus my love for symmetry means something like the 'notch' na dead on arrival as far as aesthetics is concerned. To some paying an extra $60 for additional 64gig of internal memory na luxury, to others na the other way round, to some, any phone above 40k na luxury (I meet this type every week), meaning anybody using the likes of Redmi note 4 and above na wasters according to their gospel, so make una stop pointing fingers because others dey point at una too . So wetin b d definition of luxury? From wetin I understand, we all are LUXIROUS in one way or the other in the type of phone we use.

Exactly the point I was trying to make. Luxury is relative, na your need and money at hand go determine wetin person go use.

So does the Multi Millionaire who buys a custom made $2M Rolls Royce Phantom if he deems it necessary and can obviously afford it..
Paying a Premium for a NECESSITY which has capable alternatives in my opinion defines luxury,that you can afford it is immaterial..

You are shifting the goal post here, asked a question and you have not answered. Is the Google pixel also a luxury good or are we going to pretend that they aren't expensive?

Protein0:
This is one of the cardinal feature of luxury goods.
You buy them because you can "afford" them, not because they're "important". In other words, you express your status.

I disagree pls, like I said luxury is relative. All of us here can as well be using imose and bluboo phones since they are all phones na. If I can afford a phone of 200k which I feel I need and it's important to me maybe for reasons best known to me,how is that luxury?

donbenie:
First you define what the term LUXURY means..the quality possessed by something that is excessively expensive,that you can afford it doesn't stop it from being a luxury..
By your reasoning,being able to afford a $2.5M Gold plated Lamborghini can't be qualified as a luxury since you can easily afford it..

Luxury means "something adding to pleasure or comfort but not absolutely NECESSARY". With this explanation, iPhone is not a luxury good if I deem it necessary and can afford it.

donbenie:
Yes,if you have cheaper options that can perform the same function at a fraction of the cost and when the said good is charged at a premium for the privilege of owning it..that's a luxury..

Why should I settle for the cheaper option if I can afford an expensive phone? So by your explanation Google pixel and Samsung note series are luxury goods abi. Una try.

vower:
6 days now mi global store has not shipped my order. And the note 5 I ordered is for a friend

It's the still within processing period right?

gidieberry:
asin... I jus tire for people
Judging by the no of yearly shipments, Iphones ain't a luxury product at all.. Yes, pricing is ridiculous compared to wat it offers and taking android competitors as a vantage point.. Still, nuffin luxurious about Iphone

lollllllllll, nothing wey we no go see.

Goalnaldo:
I was just reading about the xiaomi s2.am in love with the phone but no money to buy it.. I know that there are kind individual who may help me here.. 2061881608 UBA. god bless.

Why not buy the phone you can afford?

donbenie:
Calling it a luxury good is very apt,Apple cater to a certain demography intentionally..paying average of $800 for a phone is for the upscale demography anywhere in the world and thus makes it a Status Symbol and Fashion Accessory..
Unlike other OEMS non of their devices sells for less than $500 and that is certainly not a definition of midrange..

You mean if I find it necessary albeit expensive, it's still a "luxury" good. Ok.

Ifedith:
Oga... It's not naija mentality, everyone knows Lamborghini is expensive, u think the price is naija issue?... I laff... 1000$=1000$...naija or not, and it's not beans cake... Otherwise, ask dangote to give everyone 350k, u will know naira has value...

Still don't get what you are driving at, some people can conveniently afford it. Is that a luxury to them too if that is what they really desire?

Ifedith:
No... Everywhere

lollllllllll, these people buy their phone on contract. Na we dey gather money to buy phone for here now. Was actually speaking with someone who told me their father just told all of them they would be changing their phones to iphoneXR because he apparently got a very nice offer from T-Mobile. Na we dey take am big deal cos of the state of our economy.

Protein0:
if it is important, then it's not luxury.
By luxury, it's inessential but desirable and difficult to get(by price or supply)

We are saying the same thing, idk why so many people think iPhone owners are "wasting" their money.

hardeycute:
I wouldn't care about personal needs or wants but I can state clearly IPhone is not a normal good. I am not even talking about the price in NAIRA.


Majority of people who owns IPhone are motivated by the price and not necessarily what it has to offer

"Majority of people" that would be in Nigeria only right?

Ifedith:
No it's not, ppl make it a luxury good. It's like hummer jeep dat year, it was suv for protection, but ppl turned into luxury cus of the cost, likewise gwagon... U get the gist

This one na naija mentality, afaik luxury is relative. What may not be important to you,might be important to me.

hardeycute:
APPLE IPhone is a luxury good, it is for indicating STATUS, to impress and showcase.

In economics, it is called ABNORMAL DEMAND because the "higher the price, the higher the qty demanded"

In as much as am not a fan of iPhone, I wouldn't call it a "luxury good". We are different, so are our needs/wants. The way you think buying a phone of 70/100k is not too much,some people would frown at that amount and say it's damn too much and it goes on and on.

Protein0 and princetom1, e be like una don chop belleful tonight abi?

nkkystel:
How do you mean? Lower or higher.
This is per the deal I got.

You could check the price others are selling

Nobody will buy a cracked s8+ or brand new s8 + for 180200 you quoted ma. Maybe you wanted to write 80200.
