iPhone has value. It is very rugged and durable.

Any day I have enough money to get a Samsung phone and an iPhone, I will get an iPhone. I am not saying iPhone is the best brand of smart phones. But I know iPhone truly has value. iPhone is the most rugged brand of smart phones. With severely crack screen, it can still work. iPhone 7 and later versions of iPhone are water and dust resistant. Android is more vulnerable to virus and hack. Apart from Samsung, no other brand of phone has OS and camera quality that can challenge iPhone. Counter these points with facts, if you claim iPhone has no value.

Those who claim iPhone is overhyped are either ignorant of iPhone features or those people are indirectly expressing jealousy for iPhone owners. It is true that most Nigerians who use iPhone choose the brand just to brag, they don't need and cannot utilize up to 60% of iPhone features. Yet they buy iPhones just for show off. But it doesn't mean iPhone is not wonderful.

The only reason I don't have iPhone now is because I don't want iPhone as my only phone and I cannot afford two quality phones now. iPhone is very expensive to acquire and maintain. This is why many iPhone users in Nigeria use Android charger (many of you call it charger head) for their iPhones. grin Some of them can't even buy Apple USB cable (many of you know it as Apple Chord). They always borrow the cable or try to steal the cable. grin Most of those Nigerians can't even afford to pay for Apple music. grin Most of them use Oraimo headphones for the iPhones grin Oraimo is not bad but combining it with iPhone is like using Toyota rim for Benz. grin

I, as a guy that is yet to be rich, don't want iPhone as my only phone because of my environment and what I do with my smart phone. I don't have an Apple laptop for quick and smooth sharing of files between an iPhone and my laptop. My laptop is Windows. Snapdrop for iOS and Android does not work as well as airdrop for iOS and iOS. And I cannot afford to use internet data (subscription) for everything. Otherwise, I would have bought an iPhone and use cloud storage space to share files between my Windows laptop and my iPhone. Also most of the people around me use Windows and Android and I constantly share files with those people. This is why I have been using Samsung for years. I have bought at least 3 different Samsung phones for myself. The last one I got cost almost 300k and I know I can use less than that amount to get a used iPhone 12. If I want iPhone as my only phone, I could have gotten one already.


You’re not truthful. iPhones can’t use Android charging cables. I’ve been using iPhones since the firs5 model was introduced and they’ve never been able to use the same cables as Android.

Lol...tell me more. Would and Anker charger be and "Android charger"?

A cheap charger is not an "Android charger". It is a cheap charger. A charger designed and manufactured to standard will charge ANY phone, iPhone or Android.

If you say people use cheap chargers to charge their iPhones, that's a different conversation. But to say they use and "Android charger" is totally incorrect. Those cheap chargers will also not charge a Samsung Galaxy S22
oga you mess up big time! undecided
You dey argue with female on technological innovation?

All weti that moniker know how to do is to use her rotten Toto to task men and the latest markup to buy undecided

There is nothing like android charger or iPhone charger! I use my 60watt Xiaomi charger to charge my phone and it work well.

Most useless phone to buy. Apart from its durability, apple music and camera quality (which you can get on a high end samsung phone), not worth the hype. You can't use an iphone without having an android phone as backup. Navigation is stressful. Recently got myself 12pro max and I'm regretting it. Mtcheww.
why exactly are you still regretting getting the 12pro max pls? I was planning on getting it next month.

Lolz the day you deep your iphone in water, that's the last time you will enjoy it. You clearly don't know what OS is and Samsung doesn't have the best camera of smart phones.
Lastly you can't really say a gadget has a value, from the moment you unpack it, it has lost a chuck of its value and it goes down from there
Stop giving false tongue to gain advantage. I bought my 11pro max in 2020 and I have taken it under the water for snaps and video making in the pool more than 20 times and before I switched to 13pro max my phone never gave me any problem and as a matter of fact my baby sis is still rocking the phone without any issue

PAQ:



2. Iphones are easier to repair than android phones. Iphones are not complicated to repair, they do not pack their internals with all manner of technology like android phones. You cant compare the amount of technology in a samsung galaxy S6 to an Iphone 6. And their parts are cheaper & easier to get.


Really?

Iphones are cool just that you have limits compared to android ... You don't need to be in the ecosystem to enjoy more of android compared to iphones

Something their Android phones can’t give them. As old as iPhone 6 is, it still has more resale value than Itel, Infinix, Samsung, Tecno, of two three years ago

Iphone is ahead with the OS they own and processor... After that many flagship android are crazy mehn... Flagship from oneplus xaiomi OPPO Motorola are really on point... Huawei should have been leading the market ... But Trump saved apple with that ban ... If not ...
I'm thinking of buying pixel 7pro if not because of unlock issues and one sim stuff.

I rather say iphone is a phone with good quality than value, because once you buy it, it becomes a liability and its worth depreciate with time.

Oga go back to school to learn what ‘value’ means then come back to this post after graduating 4 years later. Thank me later

Abeg clarify. How is an iPhone branded charger different from a Samsung charger? Does the iPhone charger generate it's own electricity? Does it know when the iPhone batter is low and then it plugs itself into the iPhone?
From iPhone 11, iPhone chargers’ changed and you can’t use its cable in Android charger heads like the previous iPhones.

So my big aunt got the 14 and I use the 11pro max but y'all wouldn't know which is which?

Why? iPhone 11 Pro Max, the old design, is the new design of the old design for the new design.


Trash for people who want to upgrade.

Merriment for me feeling they have us in mind. grin

I'll still advise you use phones you can maintain and phones are parts are affordable to you.

Security-wise and show-off wise, iPhones are good.

But nna, I love flexibility with Android. It's like it's made for everyone.


In short, you can iPhone and Android but you can't Android and iPhone.

I use android most of life, I’m just few years into iPhone world, I’m not the show off guy but I cherish quality and durability. iPhone got it all, mind you this a tips, if you still struggling, just get any iPhone you can afford, they all the same except for camera changes and upgrades.

Charger na charger mumu!
As long as the type of charger dey produce the required voltage and watt for that particular phone. It will work well be it iPhone charger or android charger

Once again! Oga you be mumu I swear! Do you know that charger got automatic voltage and watt regulatory system? undecided

I can use my Samsung 60watt charger to charge my iPhone of 18watt required to charge my iPhone!
The iPhone will just take it required 18watt out of the 60watt charger and the charger will automatically adjust base on the phone undecided

Na illeterate and plain stupidity mixed retard dey disturb some of you here
Those who are mumu are usually the first to call another person mumu. iPhone has a special charger made by Apple. It doesn't mean another charger cannot charge iPhone. Only a fool like you doesn't know that not every charger that works for a phone is good for the phone battery. iPhone charger is the most suitable for iPhones but because the charger is expensive, Nigerians resort to using Android charger to charge iPhone. Go to Twitter and claim that every charger is good for every phone. Mumu
