you are very funny o....so I'm more classy with my iPhone 6 than my neighbour using Samsung S8? Lol

When we talk about iPhone, most people already understood it to be the latest,
not one manufactured in 2010.

ClintonNzedimma:
lol... Its only in Nigeria that iPhone is used to show class Mr man, in the US, a bar tender uses an iPhone, don't be ignorant.

A bartender can buy an iPhone because she has a CREDIT card.
Most Americans remain in debt until they are dead.

When you see a Nigerian with a BMW, you know they "own" it, but an average American
may be paying for the same car for the next 5 years.

Tell me one good reason why a bartender will buy an "overrated" but expensive iPhone
when she could get a cheaper Android phone?

wetdick:
where did i mention a man in my post.

Maybe you are going mad.

Deranged fellow.
What does it take you to admit you are wrong?
You even edited your previous post.
SMH

wetdick:
it is ur father that is an illiterate

read the headline.

Just because it is an uche doesnt mean it is not a lady. A female here is the killer

A woman is the killer and a woman is the victim but as an uncivilized illiterate, you quickly
attacked women in your post while talking about gentleman who is alive.
What a waste!

beamtopola:
You dont stay more than this people in these country

Let us look at percentages.
All that matters is that it adds up to a hundred.

The table you uploaded did not include percentage.
If Iphone 6 holds just 30% of the market and the others hold 70% it will
still be the most popular because other brands don't have
more than 30% but they dominate the market when combined.

wetdick:
Where are the feminist?

That abusive woman just killed a gentle and easy going man

some women are just violent. Who gave the right to take another human life.

Are you illiterate?

I blame Buhari, jobless and frustrated people are often dangerous.

Fake. Incantations cannot make people fall asleep.

ClintonNzedimma:
Some of the comments on the thread originate from ignorance. The people saying apple product is for class don't even mind that apple is going down. Yes I used to be an iPhone user, I remember in 2014 here on Nairaland when I was team apple, I got into several arguments involving the iPhone but I grew up to see that it's overrated piece of hardware. It became clear when they released the 8 and X. They need to start spacing out releases and stop churning out crap every year. If you want to release a phone for the next generation, ensure you do so and maximize it's power to bring something new. We can't be in generation 7 and you release a generation 5 phone claiming it is generation 7 and just because your hardware has the apple logo we should all respect it and bow down to it. Tim Cook's time is up, they should bring someone fresh

You discovered it is crap after your account balance took a hit.

Me:Why do you hate iphone?
You: I hate this new iphone because it looks like the last one.
Me: Is it faulty, slow or fail to perform
You: No
Me: If your purchase has nothing to do with class, why would you hate the phone
that still delivers what it promises?

bot101:
Lol, poor man mentality. You think everywhere is like your sh*thole ba??

No. But don't you think it funny to talk about poor people since you are one of those begging apple to reduce its iPhone price?

Ufedolove:
Say Nigerians not people abeg.

Americans, their major market don't buy apple to show class but to use. Throw your mentality into the bin.

Wow, so you are a psychic who can read American's mind?

This is genocide going on and our bloggers aren't concerned.
Tell me how a man with an unreliable hunter gun that needs to be reloaded before
firing is supposedly a "separatist leader".

marvin906:
dude no offense buh you sound dumb comparing an iPhone with those things

I am sorry that you are too dumb to understand my post.

Though they say "you can't fix stupid" but I will try in your case.
Why will anyone buy a Ferrari instead of Toyota corolla?

If you still don't understand, ask your friends to help you out.

bot101:
Dey deceive yasef!! iPhone used to be the .most sold phone on earth. Unless your definition of class includes the majority of phone users in US and China. Kids use iPhone X these days.

Stop lying. Kids that can't afford three square meals don't use phones at all let alone an iphone.
Rich kids not kids use iPhone x.

beamtopola:
No bro, you are wrong. The usa population is about 300million and almost if not all of usa citizens used iphone.

Wrong.
The most popular phones(55%) in USA is android based not ios.
iOs come second and even at that most Americans are still using their iphone 6(bought through loan) which is to tell you
that apple's current profit is not being driven by metoo phone owners but by passionate brand lovers.

Only nigerian thinks like this.

Wrong again. There is no rational reason why anybody(American included) would buy
an expensive iphone other than prestige.
Do you think the average buyer cares whether it runs on qualcomm or intel?
They don't even know what it runs on. In any place where people buy iphone, the
primary reason is class every other reason is just to sound rational.

charlesm91:
a car can't be comparable with a phone who's life span is but for a short while.

That is not the point. Most parts in the latest samsung are recycled.
Just name any tech where the parts are made from new research.

As evidenced, humans are more likely to change phones at a quicker rate than cars.

It is not a question of likely, it is a question of affordability

Back to the point, the iPhone may ooze class but first its primary function is to make calls, browse and so people buy it cos of that also and because of the goodwill apple has built over the years.

Hope you are not claiming that iphone can't make call or browse because that would be laughable.
Goodwill?
What does that mean?
Nobody will buy a product because of goodwill(safe your family members).
People buy products because of what it can do for them. In the case of apple,
people buy their product because most people can't afford it and it delivers.

But as the op said, there's a limit to how far class can get you especially in this category we call mobile tech. By how much do you think apple can continually raise it price before the alarm bells start ringing? Which is already if you following the news.

The day apple decide to become tekno or even samsung, the iphone brand will die.
The people complaining about price have no business buying the iphone in the first place.
There are hundreds of cheap phones out there, why spend their months savings on a phone
they can't afford?

Man is rational in nature and no matter how classy the iPhone is, the rationality in man will eventually kick in with respect to the ever increasing price especially given the competitions offerings.

Iphone was never designed as a mass market product. If you think of Apple's competitors, the iphone
ws never designed for you. Steve Jobs did not create Apple to compete with others, it is a class on its
own.

There is no rationality in luxury. That is the idea behind it. Do you think anyone buys Gucci product
because no other company can produce the same quality?

Also, if you say the iPhone isn't for everyone, then why is apple hell bent on penetrating the chinese and Indian market. Trust me, they want the slice of the pie xiaomi n co are enjoying.

Because there are Chinese who can afford it and Apple is also veering from its founder's dream which
is about brand and not market.

Some ignorant shareholders are also pushing for more profit, the same thing that almost killed Apple and gets
Job's sacked in the beginning. The greatest mistake Tim Cook will make is pander to the board and starts
fighting for every cents with other brands which many analysts are also pushing for.

Blackberry died because it try to compete in the wrong market(mass market) where it doesn't belong.
It won't matter if an iPhone can fly or even print money if it ever becomes a public
commodity, it will die a painful death.

frowland:
Haha, class my asz. Talk of low self esteem.

These are other low self-esteem properties.
Ferrari, Hummer, Cruise ship, private jet and a House in Banana island.
As a high self-esteem person, I hope you never wish to have any of the above.

Change to tekno or huawei?

All tech gadgets and even cars come with recycled features, any company claiming
otherwise is lying.

The biggest mistake apple will make is become a commodity for everyone.
People don't buy iphone because they want to make calls or browse(tekno or huawei can do that),
they buy it to show class.

Willie2015:
He got a mother with a good heart .... not a strong man......some dont actually make it....

Just exactly the same scenario here, my friend got married without parental consent...

Anytime the wife gives birth, the child will die within 7 days... before naming....

Wifey gave birth..... 4 times..... all those kids aint alive....

My guy had accident some yrs after the marriage.... he was driving alone ..... no oncoming vehicle..... none at his back

Drove and hit a big tree..... that was the end.

It is advisable to seek parental consent.....

Even if your parents are traditional herbalists ..... you must find a way to seek their consent.

People without both parents or those who got consent have experienced worse.
It is wrong to link bad luck to rebellious behavior.

agaliboy:
I deeply regretted my decision. That's why I am a divorcee now. My Dad is late but my mum saw through my ex-wife's pretenses, but i was too much in love to listen to her warnings. My ex was from a broken home and I married her as an Unemployed person.

I started seeing the things I didn't even notice during courtship just one month into our marriage. Maybe because we had a long-distance courtship. She was very egoistic, full of malice and never listens to any kind of good advice. We both had strong personalities and I couldn't bear to report her to anybody for the shame of being reminded that I was warned before I married her.

The final straw was when I discovered all the lies and contact she still having with an ex she knew before she met me. She was visiting him behind my back and even collected money from her when she needed some balance to buy a car after I had already given her some money. She lied that it was her brother that gave her the money. The truth came out when her brother came back from the U.K and unknowingly revealed the truth. I got to find out they've had romantic outings together whenever I was out to work.

A quick advise to younger guys: LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHERS. THEY SEE BEHIND THE 'CURTAINS' WHEN IT COMES TO FELLOW WOMEN.

Your experience has nothing to do with parental consent.
You married an unfaithful and incompatible person. Period.

Moneystopnonsen:
Married against my mother's wish. She never liked my wife when she was babe then in school, simply because she says I give her attention too much more than i give to her.

Fast forward to after 8years of dating her, mum complained about how can i be stuck with one girl when guys where frolicking about.

After Nysc i started planning marriage, mum actually arranged her friends daughter for me, she was hot, but me i overlooked her because I was hell bent on been opposite of what my father was.

3 years ago i married my wife, mum only came for the traditional. She gave me plenty condition for my white and i was like why will my own mum want to sabotage my life simply bcoz of jealosy. Because of her I didn't do white wedding. I went to the registry and married my wife.

Today I have 2 kids and my wife is my back bone, mum still detest her and is pretending, I have made it clear to her you can't love me, love the kids she gave you and dislike her.

Recently she went as far as smearing my wife's image To my younger brothers who are not in Nigeria, I wonder what she wants to gain. So am paying her back with no access to me at all. Until she retraces her step.

If u notice I didn't talk about my dad, he is alive, his an old arse hole for university of Ibadan females both students and hostel female staff, he can gift u a car just to lay u.

Mum is just a control freak. She has lived her marital life yet wants to live another through me, but kole work ooo

You are a strong man unlike weaklings who easily succumb to blackmail.

Valerie47:
Yeah, a child that love her parents.

Control has nothing to do with love.

Sharing experience would be bad advice because people's parents and relationships differ.
Don't marry her because she is a cultist or unfaithful is a good advice.
But don't marry her because I don't like her mother, aunty or face is hogwash. You are the one that will live with your wife, not your mother.

Know thyself and your parents before you decide. While some parents will soften with time, others may cut you off completely. You must examine the worst case scenario to know what you are prepared to sacrifice.

Are you the only child who happens to be mommy's boy? Then going against her might be too much for you to bear.
Are you a person who have always make important decisions for themselves, then follow your heart.

Whatever you choose, you will always regret your decision, there is no escaping it. If you follow your heart and you later face challenges, you will think it is because you went against your mother.
If you bow to your mother's pressure and became unhappy with another woman, you will regret not marrying the love of your life and would blame your mother.

sanpipita:
Always insults and emotions, issues like this ain't for slow minds non-pedophiles

Yes, we know pedophiles will defend themselves just like other deplorable do.
What is funny is that you don't want emotions involved even though pedophilic activities are 100% emotions.

philip0906:
You're a bloody feminist! Your posts on threads like this is either you giving silly excuses for your female folks or making mockery of the male folks...I have seen your posts

Peruzzi should be scared right now for engaging an underage girl in prostitution thereby committing statutory rape.

Mizwisdom:
How many cases of mothers molesting their sons have you heard of?

The funny thing about male molestations(yes, it happens) is that the victim almost never reports or complains.
Even in advanced countries with lesser stigma for victims, female abusers only get into trouble through gossips from
friends of grown-up victims.

How do you even establish a woman molesting a kid, is it through the touch of genitals which is necessary while bathing?

What this means is that it is impossible for a male child sexual abuse to be discovered or seriously investigated, so all
the female abusers will always be free from consequences.

No my huby will not be aware of my distrust, I'll just tell him it's a family law and that's the way I was raised. It's a deal breaker for me so we'll discuss it before we tie the knot.

That is being dishonest, which is dangerous to a healthy marriage.
An observant husband will easily see through such charade.
It is good that you will discuss it before marriage.

Mizwisdom:
She's very right. I won't allow my huby bath my daughter

Are you married?
Is your husband aware of your distrust of him?
Will you be comfortable bathing your son or isn't there a chance of temptation?

donnie:
That would tell you what men go through in the hand of these feminists.

Too many fools littering the cyberspace.

”My husband is not a pedophile, he’s a highly responsible, decent man. He can never do anything to hurt any of his children.

I disagree
Morayo is a liar, she is definitely hiding something about her husband.

This is what gave her out:

So understand this, there are women who have used their life to vouch that their husbands would never abuse their daughters yet we see it happen.

sanpipita:
At least let me admit I'm a danger than gloss over it, pretenders they say do they worse.

You didn't admit, nobody knows who you are in real life.
You will need to call a family meeting and warn them about your pedophilic tendency
so everyone can keep their female child safe from you.
