You see?🤣 Many of you haven’t got past this “iPhones don’t have battery thing” despite not using them.
I was expecting you to mention a recent Promax iphone with terrible battery life but bro ended up mentioning iPhone 14🤣
If you were a phone enthusiast, you would have known why you shouldn’t have mentioned the 14 at all because who told you even the brand new one has good battery?🤣
About your battery health claims, you are able to know about this because Apple is the only maker that shows it to people, others hide them and you even need some terminal commands to see it on the Windows Os.

I want you to do one simple assignment. That your S10plus, can you get me the statistics of the units that are still in used today when compared to its closest competitor, the iPhone 11 promax and which one would people pick if the two are placed side by side for them to pick? I can tell you for free that there are more active 11PM than S10plus despite the former being more expensive than the later.
Androids generally get outdated faster and this is perhaps due to the fact that they churn out too many units and because newer models are always made to be significantly better than their immediate predecessors. A Samsung you bought today would make you see the one you bought 6 months ago to look like some piece of relic.
This is one area where Apple triumphs and this is to the advantage of consumers . An 11PM user doesn’t necessarily have any reason to upgrade to 12PM, 15PM user doesn’t need 16PM. The upcoming 18 series aren’t meant for those who own the 17 series if they aren’t the ignorant types who buy phones to follow trends🤣

You clearly aren't following my point. Of course proMax has a bigger battery capacity, it is what it's meant for, a phone for a professional videographer which is my entire point! If you're not a professional videographer there's no need going for it, if you're buying it just because it has a bigger battery then you're wasting money and under utilising the phones capabilities, and it also firmly puts you inside the apple capitalist cage control. Whenever you finally begin to see things from this perspective you will free yourself from all this manipulations. I mentioned 14 because it's the phone someone close to me is using, and it's funny to see you change mouth and start castigating an iPhone brand just after praising it a while ago. If my S10 is outperforming a relatively New iPhone product , does that not completely shatter your initial claim about iPhone longevity and durability?
My guy I've used iPhones, I probably started using iPhone before a lot of you did and I'm not trying to boast about it. I'm using the regular iPhone 15 currently and looking to port to pixel or Xiaomi, I'm not talking out of ignorance if that's what you think.

Seeing your battery health is not only an iPhone feature , OnePlus, Google pixel and Samsung have that feature too. You really don't know much about phones.

Look at this guy, you really know very little, Samsung S10+ is about ₦400,000 while proMax is about ₦250,000. Go to the phone shops and prices it, I import fairly used iPhones from Estonia whenever I come back to Nigeria incase You're not aware 🤣🤣. And there are more iPhones 11 proMax in circulation in Naija than Samsung S10+ and that's because of the overhype of iPhone and how expensive a fairly used Samsung phone is let alone the new one. Besides, I hope you know that apple have long since discontinued iPhone 11 updates? It is now very wonky and heats up when you watch videos with it.

Android is not a phone company for crying out loud!!! It's an OS, Operating System! They don't make phones, they create the operating systems that phones run on. Most phone companies have classes of phones they produce at a given time, unlike pixel and Apple , the rest produce phones for different ranges of consumers. There are the flag ship phones, medium range phones and lower range phones. Samsung's flag ships are the S series, and all their S series from 2019 can still hold up well today. And they don't churn out flag ship phones any more than iPhone does.
And it's a lie what you said about Samsung becoming a relic faster than iPhones, Samsung S23ultra still shits on iPhone 17 that came out recently. Even the S23FE is way better than iPhone of any year. You don't know much about phones that's why you're saying all these, you're the typical Naija phone user that I was talking about, you don't buy technology, you buy brand names. Imagine saying that Samsung becomes a relic within a year... My friend Xiaomi 13 series and Huawei 60 series and the foldable phones of 2023 are still bossing the tech Market, let alone Samsung. I'm very sure you've never seen any of these phones that I mentioned. I'm talking about phones that shits on iPhone 15-16 and to some extent 17 proMax.

Gerrard59:
So ProMax is designed largely for pictures and elaborate videos?

It is designed for professional videography. The "Pro" stands for professional. It is why it has a professional video and camera features, bigger battery capacity (for long and extensive video making) and large storage capacity. Buying it just to take regular pictures and make regular video shot with it's regular settings is a complete waste of money and under utilisation of the phone, you're better off buying the regular iPhone which will still give you really good shots.

Moniya4Real:
“Pixel, Samsung and Xiaomi are far outclassing it in multiple departments and innovation. But Nigerians don't buy quality, they buy names.”

Sorry! Abeg keep enjoying your android in peace. Take it or leave it- iPhone is the Rolls Royce of mobile phones.

if you're talking about Rolls Royce of mobile phones, then it Samsung and it's not even up for debate. They're in a stratosphere of their own, they far outclass everyone else in every category imaginable.
iPhone will be a Mercedes Benz S- class. iPhone is a very good phone no doubt, but the hype around it dies immediately you compare it with some of the phones out there right now.

Rebelutionary:
Generalouki challenged you all to bring up the standout features but not one of you is. Saying anything meaningful just empty rhetorics.

Where some of you iPhones fanatics think Android users haven't used iPhones before, beats one imagination?

They can't bring up any because it will not end well for the iPhone 😂. iPhone that is still copying Samsung and Huawei assignments of 3-4 years ago? Let them take up the challenge na, na even chinko phones like Xiaomi and Huawei I go use wash them. Samsung na just overkill.

UrVillageChief:
You later spoil everything with your last paragraph🤣. Not every Nigerian buys an iPhone to show off, okay?, many of us buy them because we just want something that works and what exactly did you mean by “Nigerians don’t buy quality”?🤣
iPhones are about the best mobile phones anyone could buy if your priority is longevity. For example, the IPhone 11 series was released in 2019 and it’s still very usable today. Mention one android that was made in that time-frame and still looks not outdated today? I will help, the s10 is its closest competitor made in that same year, are you saying both phones look like they were released in the same year today, 2026? Mention one xiaomi or Pixel that has the prestige and usability that 2019 phone still has today.
Before you shout “Apple fanboy”, I use both OSes, and yes, while Androids are more practical and flexible, IPhone just keeps working and serves you until you get tired of it. iPhones are the only phones that are produced in such a way that one model isn’t made to heavily outperform its immediate predecessor. Yes, I mean if you have the 15PM for instance, realistically speaking, you don’t need the 16PM and if you own the 17 Promax, buying the 18Promax would be a big waste of money. Androids on the other hand, newer models are made to heavily outclass their immediate predecessors so much that the beastly phone you bought last year would be made to look utterly outdated by its immediate successor. Androids like Infinix and techno are the most notorious for this🤣
Again, I still don’t understand what you meant with that statement that people aren’t buying IPhones for quality because the last time I checked, people are still using iPhones produced in 2014-2015 and they are still rocking hard. Androids don’t have that longevity and that’s fact!

Nigerians don't buy quality, they buy brand names and that's a fact. And to say iPhone guarantees longevity is the most hilarious statement anyone can make... As in a phone that it's battery life drops on a regular, and the OS gets wonky with newer updates forcing users to either migrate to the new devices or endure the lagging because Apple couldn't care less? That's the phone you're saying guarantees longevity? Honestly most you don't even understand the gadgets you buy. iPhone 11 is usable but it's performance has dropped due to Apple messing up with the OS and lets not even get started on the battery life, any iPhone 11 today has either had it's battery changed or the user is now backing it up with 30,000 mah power bank. Dude my Second phone, the one I'm using to type right now is Samsung S10+, it was produced in 2019 still working perfectly, no wonky OS issues, the battery is still good, I charged it since morning and haven't charged it since, right now it on 35 percent and will serve me till morning. My brother's iPhone 14 battery has already gone weak and needs regular charging, he has a power bank to support his phone, I don't have any power Bank, maybe you can chuck it up to how I use my phones, i rarely charge to full capacity and still have my original charger, but still it's battery is performing better than a iPhone 14 that just came out recently.

Go check out the camera quality benchmarks of iPhone 11, S10+ and Xiaomi MT and then come back let's talk.

AlabiKILLER2023:
He's right
Forget plenty grammar

Android is a poor man's phone

You people really are ignorant of anything. Samsung is an android phone, the top 10 best Samsung phones are way more expensive than the top 10 best iPhones, it shits on iPhone in every category imaginable, performance, camera, battery, innovation ( iPhone actually copies Samsung and there iPhone cameras that are produced by Samsung).
The flag ship Google pixel phones shits on iPhone in the categories that iPhone consider as it's selling point (camera, sleekness, mild colour optimization)
Xiaomi phones are cheaper than iPhone but cheap doesn't mean poor quality especially when we're talking about high end Chinese products like Xiaomi and Huawei. In fact go and check out the features of Xiaomi 17 proMax for some enlightenment.

Imagine saying android is a poor man's phone, go to slot and price Samsung or pixel

laluski:
God bless you my brother. Same thing I say all time. The issue is people buying these phones don't use upto even 15% of its capabilities. Same thing with even Android users. Just to flex and show off. If you're a matured and serious minded phone user you won't be jumping from one phone to the next just because Yahoo( for the boys) and COUNTING CEILING (for the girls) is paying your so called bills

It's just stupidity to me. You will see someone buy a phone that is made for professionals and be using it to snap regular pictures on regular settings and still use filters on top 🤦🏾‍♂️. They can't tweak the camera settings to give them a professional capture, they can't utilise the steady motion features the phone comes with, the most tasking thing they do with it is to play COD mobile. Just wasting money for same thing you can still do with a regular iPhone.

In oversea they wake up and drink coffee or tea.
In Nigeria they wake up and start drinking sachet alcohol bitters

Did they tell you that there are no kidney disease patients in overseas? Abi you think that coffee is a safe beverage to be taken all the time with no health effects? It can temporarily raise blood pressure, increase potassium and fluid loads, or elevate dysfunction risks in slow caffeine metabolizers.

Amovingman:
avoid android in anythin You’re doing

It is those who don't know anything about phones that would say what you just said now.

Android Is just an OS just like iOS is an Operating System, it doesn't determine the overall quality of the phone in terms of hardware, technology and durability. And even at that, android os has been outperforming iOS for some time now, iOS has been playing catch-up for a decade now.

Nigerians like I said don't buy technology, they buy names, brand names. You will see a basic phone user buying a proMax series and will end up not using up to 30% of the proMax capabilities, they buy it just to show off that they're using a proMax instead of a regular 17 or 16 version, they're not professional videographers or movie makers which the proMax is meant for .

free2ryhme:
Make una let us hear word, classism go finish all of una

The funny thing is that there's not much difference between the hyped up 17 proMax with 15 proMax, I challenge anyone to list 5 significant features between the two phones. The video quality, the camera, performance and screen are almost the same, you hardly notice any much difference. The only noticeable difference between the two phones are the design and battery capacity.

Pixel, Samsung and Xiaomi are far outclassing it in multiple departments and innovation. But Nigerians don't buy quality, they buy names.

Mynd44:
I call BS

Benjamin Netanyahu the Prime Minister Of Isreal was the son of an Eastern European Family and only changed their name to "Netanyahu" from "Mileikowsky"

How did what you said here relate with the discussion?

EponObi:
The world thought Sepp Blatter was bad, this Gianni Infantino is terrible.

He single-handedly made the world hate this 2026 world cup because of stupid politics.

Even though Blatter was corrupt to the core, at least he prioritized the integrity of the game. He gave us 2002 South Korea/Japan, 2006 Germany, 2010 South Africa, and 2014 Brazil world cups. Arguably the best world cup editions in the last three decades. Banger back to back.

This Infantino just made a mess of the 2026 world cup. From irrational high ticket prices, to the USA playing politics with participants' Visa, to humiliating airport searches of teams, to the inhumane treatment of the Iranian team, to senseless mid-game advertisement slots, to overruling Folarin Balogun's red card. That particular red card was a big slap to all football fans and participating countries. He come turn himself to Trump errand boy. Trump don use and dump am.

Infantino's grave mistake was giving hosting rights to the USA. Before the tournament started, I knew his time was over.

All these never blow over, you come propose sale of 20% stake of the world cup. He turned football to a game of the highest bidder. Mind you, he was also floating the idea of expanding the next world to 64 teams from this current ridiculous 48 teams. SIXTY FOUR!!!!!

He can't escape this axe. Since UEFA no longer have confidence in him, it's over. He won't be missed.

How is 48 team world cup ridiculous? You can criticise him for everything but not for expanding the world cup to 48 teams, and you as an African should be the last person to criticise that decision unless you're oblivious of the politics going on in FIFA right now. Expanding the world cup gave Africa opportunity to have more teams in the world cup, and all the teams except for Tunisia gave a good account of themselves. You being against the expansion means you will prefer a limited slot for Africa in the world cup just like that Racist Gattuso wanted. Sixty four teams might be too much, but 48; teams is perfect, anything more or less I do not support.

MemphitzDgreat1:
Honestly, this is absolutely shameful from the APC. Tinubu cannot list his primary and secondary schools because they don't exist .

People whose parents thought they gave good education are the ones supporting and defending this aberration called President .

Who no go primary ,no go secondary, how him take enter university?

Chicago state university do us dirty .
#tinubumustgo

We need to see the documents he provided with which he was admitted into the university.

Judemarco31:
Point of correction, he didn't omit them, just that he didn't attend any, you now ask how he was able to get into higher institution. Is he going to give what he don't have? That tells you the kind of person ruling Nigeria, Tufiakwa!!!

It is not that he didn't attend any, He probably attended primary and secondary school, but the issue is that the name he bore when he attained those education are not the one he's bearing now. His current identity right now appears to be stolen from someone else.

So if he lists the schools he attended, people will investigate and find out the truth behind this fraudulent fellow and that will be the end of his political career

Difrent:
All these will stop the day the USA stop supporting and promoting the real causes of the problems there which is Zionism, a political movement that wants to bring all Jews back to their historic homeland
And it's mainly support base are the American evangelicals
Who believe their salvation lies in preparing Jerusalem for the coming of Christ

Why did I explain all these above, this is a religious war that will never end
Didn't Erdogan just made almost all Israelis mad by saying they will take back Jerusalem once again, referring to the time Ottomans captured Jerusalem
And of course Turkiye is the next target of the Israelis once they are through with Iran and Erdogan is preparing for that, doesn't matter that trump said he likes him, once Trump's Israeli sponsors give him the green light he will act,albeit foolishly cos Turkiye is a NATO member, this is why he has been fighting and threatening NATO so that when the time comes he will attack a NATO member and justify it

You have spoken like someone who gets their information from tiktok. The conflict between the Jews and Palestinians or should I Arabs predates Zionism and the creation of Israel as a country. They have been at odds with each other even during the ottoman empire, go check out the Jaffa pogroms, the two Sayed pogroms, the Haifa riots etc. So this is not just a Zionism problem, yes it has contributed to it but it wasn't the main cause of the conflict.

Turkey will only be a target if they start to actively sponsor and support those who want to destroy Israel just like Iran. If they do so, they will be kicked out of NATO through a resolution and that will not bode well for them. And Erdogan is just making noise for the sake of PR, dude knows what he's doing, he's not going to go up against Israel or the US, his popularity was down when he made that statement, he said what the people wanted to hear and distract them from their internal issues.

I know the historical event it's based on. I was wandering on the subreddit for the manga/anime where I saw a spoiler that Kanki died. I was so upset. Abandoned the stupid subreddit immediately.

I like Kanki because he's emotionally complex. Most other characters, especially the main characters, are too one dimensional. It makes them uninteresting.

Well if you knew about the historical event then Kanki's fate shouldn't have been a shock to you, although there are some conflicting records concerning his fate but the general consensus is that.... Yeah. And next time be careful with wandering on manga subs on Reddit, they're swarming with spoilers, I'm always up to date with all the manga I'm reading and I usually am one of the culprits at spoiling things but I do try my best to tag my spoilers tho.

Kanki indeed is the most interesting character in the manga, and I dare say the most historically accurate depiction of a general during that era, they're typically dip shits morally speaking. The main characters like Shin, Ei sei, Tou, Karyo ten(not a historical character) Kyou Kai, Mouten ( second favourite character) are unrealistically altruistic for that time, I mean Ouhon drawned an entire village just to win a war historically. I like Ouki because he was balanced, not good, not bad just a well balanced character, I also like Shouheikun and Roukumi.

You can't carry out carpet bombing of entire neighborhoods because some suspected fighters could be hiding there. Indiscriminate targeting is called a war crime by the UN convention. That was ractified since the 60s.

Children were definitely part of hamas or their nursing g mothers or the people in several hospitals that isreal bombed. Isreal committed a clear genocide and that should not be difficult for anybody to see and acknowledge.

Subsequently, they took over their land and drew the Yellow line. Even US media called it a real estate land grab.

My own criticism is always objective. I dont support the terrorists in Palestinian population nor do I support Israel.

Yes it's a war crime to indiscriminately target civilian areas, but if there's a active combatant in that area, such areas or infrastructure loses it's civilian protection and is valid target. It is boldly written in that UN document that you referred to.

Children being part of hamas actually makes them legitimate targets, and the blame is on the people who used them as child soldiers, they're the ones committing a war crime and not the ones who neutralised them. There's a reason why child soldiers are a crime in international law. And No I disagree that it was a genocide, the intent was not there, but yes Israel has committed a lot of war crimes in Gaza but not genocide.

They didn't take over any land, you have to have basic knowledge of the history of this place to know that what you just said is not true. Israel went into Gaza and occupied it when Egypt rejected the right to administer the strip, then on 2005; Israel demolished all their settlements and even exhumed their graves and left Gaza, handing it over to the Palestinians to govern by themselves. They did so by electing Hamas into power who Went on to Kill every political opposition in Gaza, and immediately began launching rocket at Israel which led to the blockade on the strip by both Israel and Egypt.

olyrayy:
Kan Ki is still my favourite character tho. No drop manga spoilers O.

Kanki is an interesting Character but he is a shít bag. I will take Yotanwa, Mouten and Ousen over him any day any time. It's like you are a anime only guy huh? Well I will not drop any manga spoilers but the story is loosely based on the shi ji/ record of the grand historian which is a historical event.

Kobojunkie:
1. This isn't the first time that Gaza has been leveled and not the first time that Israel has had to attack Hamas in Gaza. But I hope for it to be the last. 😐😐

2. Hama's has never before been able to claim victory even before now. Hamas never gave a sheet about the leveling of Gaza before now. Why should it start now giving a sheet about it?😐😐

3. We all thought the same back in 2005. We all know what Hamas did with all of that time and the resources that poured in after that.😐😐

4. Yes, you can do exactly that! That Israel has not tried it yet is no reason to determine it impossible to do. 😐😐

This is the first time more than 60% of Gaza is being leveled, the other two times they fought in Gaza there weren't this magnitude of destruction and death. It wasn't like this in 1967 and it certainly wasn't like this in 1975, this is the first of its kind as far as Israel/Gaza is concerned.

Oh Hamas do regularly claim victory anytime there is a ceasefire, it has been a regular thing with them, they use it to as a propaganda tool to keep hold of the strip.

Well this time I think it's not going to be like in 2005 when they were left alone to govern as they see fit, this time around they're going to give way for a neutral body to assume the administration of Gaza for the foreseeable future, only to hand it over to the Palestinians after deradicalization and reforms. No funds will be going into the hands of hamas this time around unlike in 2005.

Doing that comes at a very great cost of human lives, and it's almost impossible to do , so the result is not worth the effort. Degrading the terrorists and forcing them to the negotiating table is the best way to handle this things.

Elusive001:
Exactly!!!

Look at the lives lost by iran and her proxies. October 7th was pure madness, a pure miscalculation. The regrets are overwhelming.

If they could turn back the hand of time they would never have allowed it to happen because the resulting avalanche has been to great to bare. Haniyeh is dead, Ayatollah is dead, Nasralah is dead, Sinwar is dead and Deif is dead, Assad have been overthrown, Gaza is leveled, Hezbollah have been reduced to a mere nuisance, Iran is getting bombed. It's one of the biggest miscalculation in modern history, very close second to operation Barbarossa.

LadyExcellency:
This is the conclusion of the whole matter. Islamists only fear people they "think" are more heartless than them.

Exactly, they're afraid of anyone who doesn't buy their BS and is ready to return fire for fire and even go some extra miles.

Kdon2:
They are only playing games with Israel, those hamas terrorists will not give up.

If them like let them continue fighting, Israel will continue it's campaign against them until the people themselves turn on them which is already happening in Gaza

mikeapollo:
This would never have been if Israel did not give it to them as forcefully and brutal as they did.
Terrorists only surrender to superior force

True, but the civilian casualties are regrettable though.

Bovis:
You can’t bomb an ideology into submission, it can temporarily retreat but will definitely resurrect stronger

Nazism was bombed out, Japanese Shinto and ultranationalism was bombed out with two atomic bombs, the PLO have become relatively moderate compared to Hamas and Hezbollah after Israel dealt with them during the Lebanese civil war. Yes you can bomb an ideology into submission if you have enough resolve and resources to achieve it.

IndexMode:
But it was civilians they relentlessly bombed. They blew up family houses and then took their land.

They could identify and communicate with Hamas all along but choose a softer target. That was wrong.

Hamas needs to stop attacking Israeli citizens also with terrorism.
Truth needs to be told about both.

They were targeting Hamas and PIJ fighters who were embedded within civilian population. This is what you get in an urban warfare, civilian casualties and civilian infrastructure getting obliterated. The Allied forces fire bombed Hamburg and Dresden resulting in hundreds of thousands of civilian lives and then they went on to drop two atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki then completed it with incendiary bombs on Tokyo.

They couldn't communicate with Hamas that are inside Gaza, in fact they made no attempt to do so other than with air strikes on their positions. And it was very difficult to identify Hamas members, they could only identify the well known ones but not the regular fighters.

Johnson5258:
This is the main reason why Ayatollah was taken out. They know now that they don't have backing again. Better they return to peace, Tehran doesn't even have their time talkless of Hezbolah. ON YOUR OWN is their case.

Yup. They've just realised that no one is coming for their rescue, it's either they accept defeat and disarm or continue a fruitless resistance and get wiped out. Iran tried to include them in the ceasefire deal that went sour but Israel resisted it and intensified their campaign on Gaza.

Hamas are scared and looking for a way out and soft landing.

Elusive001:
So I ask the islamic terrorism supporters: what are the benefits of the October 7th? With the losses on iranian side, Hezbollah side, hamas side, houthis, islamic jihad, etc, did the October 7 worth it?

It was a net negative to them. Gaza is leveled, hamas is on life support, thousands of civilian deaths, Hezbollah have been clipped and on life support, Iran weapons and financial support to Hezbollah have been severed which led to the toppling of Assad. Iran are currently getting bombed the hell out. None of them are benefiting from the Oct 7 attack .
