Which previous charger did iPhone expect the customers to reuse? A Samsung charger, an Infinix charger or Tecno charger? Answer this question.

You seem to have a problem with people using non-Apple branded chargers to charge their phones. Apple has a program called MFI-certified where aftermarket manufacturers pay Apple to make chargers that can carry the words MFI-Certified. A money grab basically. So even if people don't reuse Samsung chargers would they not use these old after-market chargers? And do you think these aftermarket chargers are more expensive than a Samsung OEM charger? Or even a Tecno OEM charger? You are fixated on "expensive" as a marker for using iPhones and it says a lot about your mentality. iPhones are pricey yes. But I don't have to buy all the pricey apple branded extras to optimally use an iPhone. I can buy an iPhone brand new for 800k and use my Samsung S7 edge OEM fast charger to charge it. It's not because I'm poor or cannot afford an apple OEM charger. It's because I have a charger that works with the phone and there is absolutely no need to buy an apple branded charger to impress or keep folks like you happy. If using an Infinix charger to charge my self-purchased iPhone 14PM makes me look poor to you, then so be it. Like I said, no one who can afford a phone costing nearly a million Naira will be perturbed by a miserly ₦45k charger.

Yes

Most durable

But no need buying the expensive ones

I have no problem with how people charger their iPhones. You are the one who has a problem with the truth. I just explained how most Nigerians who use iPhone manage the iPhones. I never said I have a problem with it.

You did well by typing all this. But you have not answered my questions.

Here are the questions again:
Which previous charger did iPhone expect the customers to reuse? A Samsung charger, an Infinix charger or Tecno charger?

Let me add another question. Has Apple ever said anywhere that another charger other than the Apple brand of charger is advisable to be used for an iPhone? If Apple has ever said it, show me where it is said. If Apple has never said it, are you trying to say Apple doesn't know its iPhone as much as you know the iPhone?

Every maker of a phone recommends that you charge the phone with only the charger specified by the phone maker. No maker of phone has ever advised customers to use another brand of charger to charge the maker's brand of phone. So, why are you acting as if Apple says you should use your Infinix charger to charge your iPhone? That an Infinix charger can charge an iPhone doesn't mean an Infinix charger is better than an Apple charger for an iPhone.

hifocus:
Most useless brand of 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 everytime I look at it, I feel like throwing it away. Mtcheww.

What exactly is giving you issues with the 12 Pro Max?

There’s abh nothing u can’t get done with your iPhone, you just have to learn how to get it done, especially when you’ve used Android OS all ur life.

So I'm not arguing that Apple would say to use their branded products. They are in business to sell their products. But the fact that they allow 3rd parties like Anker and Blackrock Mobile pay to get MFI-CERTIFIED already implies that they are endorsing non-Apple manufactured cables and charges as suitable for use on their products.

So to answer your question, Apple did not say you can use Samsung or Infinix chargers on their devices. But your position that people buy iPhone to use "Android charger" is laughable to say the least. People us their old pre-existing chargers (whether that's an Infinix charger or an Anker charger) because they work. Would you also say people cannot charge their phones with powerbanks because apple does not make powerbanks and therefore using powerbanks on iPhones is not recommended? Like I said you are fixated on "expensive". I don't give a damn if people buy the iPhones used or brand new and then use an Infinix to charge it. As long as they obtain maximum value from using their phone (whether that value is "appearing rich" or actually using the iPhone as a work tool). Most important thing is to get value. If they like they can charge it with solar or with "Android charger" or with "Ape special charger", at the end of the day the aim it to get the battery to 100% by any means required.

You are yet to address the issue. You are yet to prove that cost is not why some iPhone users charge the iPhone with chargers made by producers of Android phones. Therefore, you are going off the point.

Iamthoney:
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

13promax vs 12promax.

Which is best?

ruggedtimi:
when my apple music sub expired all my songs disappeared.. since then i stopped buying iphone

Transfer songs from your PC to your Apple Music na. Dah’s the way around it.

I already told you that someone who can afford to buy a 1m Naira phone will not be bothered about dropping a mere 45k on a charger. Or would someone who doesn't have a charger prior buy an iPhone and then go to buy a Tecno charger?

Would you say you don't buy a new pair of socks every time you buy a new pair of shoes because you cannot afford the new socks?

And besides what is wrong with charging your iPhone with a cheaper non-Apple charger? I buy your so-called "Android charger" from an Anker brand. Is it because I cannot afford an Apple branded charger or because I have found with experience that the Anker chargers charge faster, are more portable and even finer with many variants than the bland Apple charger?

Okay people buy and expensive phone and buy a cheap "Android charger" because they are poor. You are right

Joker, suit yourself. All the iPhone users I know that don't use Apple brand of charger for their iPhones confess they can't afford Apple brand of phone charger. They just manage to buy Apple USB cable and combine it with another brand of charger to charge their iPhones.

you can't use pixel here in Nigeria unless you unlocked.

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. 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. Most of those Nigerians can't even afford to pay for Apple music. Most of them use Oraimo headphones for the iPhones Oraimo is not bad but combining it with iPhone is like using Toyota rim for Benz.

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.

I remember when i used to do write up to defend iphone against android about 12 yrs ago on nairaland. But now, i just read and enjoy the back and forth.
For me, i will stop using iphone when apple stop producing, even though apple can be silly and stubborn some times with their services.

IamMobisola:

Lol. Apple copying android design? Give example please. Reverse is the case here, na android dey copy apple designs

Android started big screen, and that is Samsung
Iphone started copying it

RussellRutherfo:


13promax vs 12promax.

Which is best?

They’re almost same thing, only that the 13 Pro max has a bigger battery and a smaller notch.

It is heavier too.

They’re both machines, and you can do just anything you do with ur Android on them, u’d just have to find a way around it.

why exactly are you still regretting getting the 12pro max pls? I was planning on getting it next month.

Cos the hype is a sham. The feeling I've had so far from using an iphone is dark. Like I'm in a secret cult. A secluded, private space with no flexibility.

You can get your phone as this is only a personal view.

What an epistle, iPhone has value is the biggest lie of the year, it has value? Na land e be so...

Oga IPhone get value till tomao...

Even a dead I-phone has gat more value, than some brands of android

RussellRutherfo:


What's the problem you noticed with the 12promax because I am considering buying it?

Rigid. Frustrating to use. An okay phone, but for someone like me who likes to do things with speed, it just doesn't suit.

Shitty new 256GB phone that hangs. 5 days old. I've not installed apps on it yet o, only snapchat. Taken one or two pics with it. Use it to make & receive calls mainly. I go to my call log, click on the number I want to dial and the shitty phone hangs. I hate the phone so much that I hardly use it. Always in my bag. When I'm in the office,on my desk. At home, anywhere. I'm using my Xperia to type.

Don't like the rigidity of the phone. I'm an Xperia girl. Best android phone ever to use but most people don't know this.

Excuse excuse excuse...nothing stop any of the aforementioned brands of Android phones to go create its own processor and operating system na.

There is time in the game Mr... Apple shouldnt have been getting screen from Samsung ...

Lol the way Wey Hin dey talk, e go look like android has no ecosystem whatsoever. I know iSheep when I see one. Nothing you wan tell me lol

The man up there said am giving excuses... I said there is time in the game... There was a time Huawei surpassed Apple on phone sales... It was very close to Samsung ...

how is that done

Enter file manager
Android >> data >> com.audiomark >> files >> audiomack
The files names are usually six digit numbers.
Select anyone and rename it.
Then add the .mp3 at end of the name and save.
It will automatically convert to an audio file.

Madam, define the word value and explain how something can have good quality without having value.

Value means it's an appreciative asset. Phone is a depreciative liability.

Value means it's an appreciative asset. Phone is a depreciative liability.

To have value means to be useful. To be useful means to serve a purpose. Are you saying phones serve no purpose?

alobright17:


When they said Benz get value does it mean you can buy Benz 10 million for use and resell it for same amount or even higher ?

iPhone has second hand value more than any other phone on the planet earth

Buy an iPhone 14 pro max and Samsung ultra 22 this year if you want to resell them next year you will sell iPhone faster and costlier than Samsung.

That’s the point you can’t debate .

Lol no be only sell faster. iPhone wey dem dey beg people for CV to buy? Better no go jonz
