Don't mind the guy calling u poor. He is actually a poor guy with poor judgement. Good judgement is a mark of affluence, and from what you wrote, people like us don't need to be told you are rich. Only the very poor who , either by hook or by crook, manage to make some money ; likes showing off by buying things without taking value for money into consideration. Kudos bro
I understand his problem and I won't judge him for his comment. Most people in this part of the world see having an iPhone as a status quo depicting wealth and affluence, which is quite pathetic.

Lol...na that time we go know whether him do pass him power in the first place. But seriously, I don't support fake life style but on the other hand I don't like when people's choices are criticised. The reason I responded was ur opening comment which related to the price and how 400k can change ur life. That shows that ur major issue with the phone is the price.

Living above ones means is not about the price of a thing but about ur monetary capacity. U can buy a phone of 400k and be living within ur means and someone else buys a phone of 60k and still be living above his means. It all about being true to yourself and prioritising.

Thanks all the same. Enjoy your day.
The part of the 400k was just to add Comic relief to the post. Most people see tech as normal so in a lot of my posts I tend to use gifs and memes to spice up things a bit. You gave a valid point though, I'll take note of that.

All the missing things you highlighted are missing due to the the bite on the apple logo, people are just blinded because of the name but on a serious note there is nothing special about the iPhone /range instead you are limited and controlled sadly many people don't realize that there are so many good fones out there, I refuse to be controlled hence my refusal to own such a brand I can't pay to be owned and limited to constantly buying that app and blah blah Android is about freedom of choice and flexibility
You're very correct bro.. It's really appalling that most Nigerians who even get the phone take it as a status quo that depicts wealth. Very pathetic.

Niggas criticizing what they don't understand or afford to own
Lol I can afford that comfortably but spending that on an iPhone when you can get a Nokia 8 or Galaxy S8 for a lesser price. And it seems you forgot that replacing the parts is always a pain in the ass. You can easily purchase parts of flagship devices on Aliexpress. Try searching for the ones for the iPhone X after a few months and see if you can find anything. $1000 for a phone that doesn't bring any new features. I'd rather not. If they had something new I'd certainly not say anything about it. iPhones have always been overrated due to the fact that Apple has complete control.

I've never been poor in my life and I don't intend on being. Being wealthy doesn't mean that you should spend your money on anything. Spend carelessly and you'll definitely go broke. The phone is full of recycled features and even if I want a high end smartphone, I'd prefer the Galaxy Note 8 or Xiaomi Mi Mix2 or I could even wait for the release of the Nokia 9. What's the new groundbreaking feature Apple has brought on the iPhone X? - NOTHING

Alright a couple of days ago, Apple launched the new iPhone X alongside the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus cleverly skipping the iPhone 9.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OJrB-3D7Uoo/WcE_Flbi6KI/AAAAAAAAKwE/afG7QwNFz9wHKct-7l7gvv-wQoHFZhAUQCHMYCw/s2560/%255BUNSET%255D.jpg

Like most Apple devices, the iPhone X broke the bank, costing over £999 (that's basically almost N400,000 in my currency)


https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-StnOZhhkJj0/WcE_FFnmVYI/AAAAAAAAKwA/09hH-XPK6iIcTsLLDSO5as4FD362yEitgCHMYCw/s2560/%255BUNSET%255D.gif

Me right now.. Trying to figure out how N400k can change someone's life


I'll be quite honest I can't see any ground breaking feature on the iPhone X.

Is it the Design?

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and Samsung Galaxy Note 8 obviously does better.

No Physical Home Button?
Yeah.. Probably because Samsung ditched theirs

Yeah they dumped the head phone jacks for Airpods?

I'm not trying to be a cheapskate but why should anyone get wireless headphones that cost $159 (N60,000). I'd rather get a quality headset (Beats By Dr Dre). And what happens if one gets missing?

It has secure Face ID that can only be wrong one in a million times?

Did you watch the iPhone X launch at the Apple Headquarters in Cupertino. Face ID couldn't unlock the phone. I guess that was the one in a million times they meant. Apple didn't tell us what happens if identical twins try to unlock one phone.I guess the passcode is just a secure way to bypass the whole debacle.
Samsung comes with Iris Scanning and Fingerprint Scanning.


Dual Camera Setup and Wireless Charging ?
I shouldn't be saying this but you and I know they're not the first to do this. There's totally nothing new here.



A lot of us expected Apple to add the touch ID beneath the screen but they never did. Vivo actually beat them to that feature.


With all the smartphones available in the world, I'd say it's really unwise for anyone waste $1,000 for stolen, exaggerated, reused and almost useless features.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zDLk-h4fzTw/WcE_HOTsbBI/AAAAAAAAKwI/9nom02wXolMbb8LifX32A5W8xgxNC6lrgCHMYCw/s2560/%255BUNSET%255D.gif


Apple has always been trying to sabotage Samsung and the entire Android OS. The iPhone X’s screen is quite inferior to that of the S8 in terms of pixel density and brightness and they had the nerve to market it as "the future of smartphones".

Seriously "$1000" for a smartphone is daylight robbery. You can even get any affordable smartphone with similar features for less than that price.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-L-v4BD4Xmq8/WcE_I4XCSeI/AAAAAAAAKwQ/gYeIzlaguM4elnpvduWhw-J2XTeRKD9nQCHMYCw/s2560/%255BUNSET%255D.gif

Apple definitely has a very strong marketing scheme that causes people to go crazy over them. I don't know how they do it, but congrats to them but I'd rather not fork out $1000 for a new smartphone.

You'd think Apple would listen to people and fix a lot of things on their Anniversary device to mark the end of a decade since the existence of the iPhone but "No" , they're try to take our eyes off what they've not done.



1.You still can't install Apps outside the Apple Store

2. It's still difficult transferring files between Computers (Not Macs) and iPhones without iTunes

4. Users still don't have total control of customization

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eRe5ZjAM4_Y/WcE_IYjsj_I/AAAAAAAAKwM/8SNiTUmJW_UcjUa6h3ebL3EbCv1ExwiygCHMYCw/s2560/%255BUNSET%255D.gif

Apple makes massive profits from their devices due to the monopoly they enjoy from their O.S and its actually becoming something else.

You might think because it's because I'm a huge fan of Android phones that's why I'm saying their phone is overrated, well don't judge me yet until you hear what Daniel fromTechKnowNG has to say. :

The iPhone X features an edge-to-edge OLED display and comes with a $999 price tag. I don't know how the price tag will affect other Apple iPhone products but just as usual the iPhone is probably going to get a lot of sales based on surveys. The IPhone X has received a number of criticisms from smartphone users and the fact that it malfunctioned on the launch date sparked a number of hilarious criticisms on social media and we shouldn't ignore that.

The question now is

"Is The IPhone X An Overrated Smartphone "

Let's take a look at some of the features

1. The edge-to-edge OLED screen

The feature that makes the IPhone X stand out is it's edge-to-edge OLED screen display. Apple was quite excited about the edge-to-edge OLED display during it's launch, but this feature has obviously been on Android phones for quite a while. It's been available on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Xiaomi Mi Mix and a couple of other Android devices so there's no reasonable way I'm spending a thousand dollars on a feature I can get for less on other devices.

2. Facial Recognition Software

This is like the most annoying part of the IPhone X, the facial recognition system. I'm okay with the fact Apple tried to come up with something new but the question now is will the IPhone X facial recognition system be able to recognize ladies when they're on makeups, fixed eyelashes or users in general when they have an injury anywhere on their face. Probably not, so you will be left with a device that only recognize you when you have a straight face, I'd advice you not to buy something like that.



3. The iPhone X is expensive. very expensive

One of the noticeable aspects of the iPhone X perhaps more noticeable than its display is its price tag. Apple has set the starting cost for its flagship product at $1,000 If you include taxes and the 256GB storage configuration. The device is even more expensive outside the US — customers in Italy, Russia, and Poland, for instance, will all have to pay around $1,600 for a 256GB version of the iPhone X


Generally, I feel the IPhone X is an overrated phone, it shouldn't be this expensive because all the features that Apple has claimed is new are not new, they all have been on Android phones, I mean affordable ones. But the IPhone X comes with an Apple logo at the back of it so I expect the logo alone to be worth more than $400.

That's what Daniel thinks but what do you think about the iPhone X.Overrated, Overpriced, Over Hyped.. I'd love to know your thoughts on this. Drop your opinion in the comments.

All the same coming to the price part I think it's mainly because of the monopoly of the iOS devices. It's limited to Apple. Android is an Open Source Project. Apple wants all the profits. However if Apple makes iOS open source, they may actually give Google a run for their money.

I still love Android no matter what. The flexibility and unlimited customizations just make it totally amazing.

Seriously HTC is really struggling, their devices hardly go very far these days, even itel devices hold more market share in Africa than HTC. Hopefully Google can turn things around. Though I think it's better they turn HTC to a complete Android One lineup for the emerging markets since the cost of their Nexus and Pixel Phones are pretty high, they should reduce the cost of the HTC phones.
