Obviously i didn't see any intense difference between android and ios. The all perform at rapid speeds when get to knew each of the flagship. But still apple tag price insanely. Everyone that really knows what's smartphone won't really option for apple no matter how wealthy he is. Can't costomize anything on smartphone. And it should be called smartphone again

so u forgot to tell us about d ba3

New version bat3 last ..
You cant compare iPhone computing power to you androids nah that why it consumes more power ...

Over 20 apps can run independently on parallel multitaxing while many android cant run two apps ( they be deceiving you people with minimizing button ) and you want its bat3 to last like android that cant match 30% of iphone commputing speeed ??

It's not expensive, it's your country's currency that is low.

Nah. Even to people outside. Paying $1,000 for a phone is much.

Android is just an OS and could run on multiple devices. If we want to get more specific, the truth is that high end Samsung phones are more expensive than high end iPhones.

Funniest enough Apple uses contract manufacturers to produce its devices in China. For example, Foxconn, Pegatron, and Wistron employ hundreds of thousands of workers to assemble Apple devices in China.

The iPhone was not made for 3rd or 4th developing countries like Nigeria hence does not always come with 4k to 6k Mah.
If you live in the US or UK why should you bother if you have less battery storage for your iPhone when you can always charge when neccessary with constant power.

Let's put it simply, people are fascinated with showing off, the same performance of a Benz can be provided by a Toyota Camry for most people's basic car needs but that show off or imaginary luxury, that one na koko.

For iPhone it is about simplicity, 70% of iPhone users are not technical at all, they just want to take photos, use emojis, chat and play games hence the phone appeals to the vast majority of people. the Android community is vastly different, 60% of Android users are curious beings, from rooting to customization no other OS gives you that flexibility, from running advanced Kodi features without slow down or other IPTV firmware to being able to amplify your phone's bluetooth signal, almost anything is possible with Android, real Android not Android wey dey struggle to breathe(Techno) grin grin. So in short, for the simplicity and the name brand/ feeling of luxury, iPhones will continue to dominate the market in terms of pricing, it's a drug and the buyers are addicts.
