Not like my iPhone is the latest one oh but I own an iPhone x. I bought a Sammy s21 ultra and I instantly forgot I have an iPhone too. On may 7th it would be exactly one year since I last stepped out of my compound with the iPhone X. It's just there in the drawer.

Lol! I actually love the iPhone X. Like live it to bits. I had abandoned the phone for a 13Pro because the in-ear speaker on my X had gone bad. I ended up buying a replacement battery and in-ear speaker from ifixit. Best decision ever. The phone feels like a new phone and while it’s my 3rd phone, after the 13Pro and S22, I still regularly use the X these days.

As someone in the business. I have had to use both phones, an iPhone and a Samsung. Both high-ends of its time. Well, I couldn't use the iPhone much for anything . What I recollected doing was to use it as an Mp3 player in my car while my android phone is my all in all phone.
Maybe if I use a Mac, I might find the iphone more useful for me. I sold back the iPhone when i noticed I had less use for it and it could get lost.

The android phone is my go-to phone. I do all with ease and freedom . I enjoy that I can transfer and download files to anywhere. Then casting to TV is easy and very common than Apple's own. I can turn my TV to a pseudo computer with my phone. Samsung calls it Samsung Dex, Huawei calls it computer mode or something . I just enjoy the flexibility.

I am not into the apple ecosystem so I ditched the iphone. The closed ecosystem isn't for me.

You Sabi better android phone, not tecno and Infinix that are deceiving us with crappy thrash they call android phone.i used oppo a92 for a while last year until I gave my cousin whose previous phone was stolen ,I was impressed with it generally,it was a monster,big battery,superb camera,the processor was fantastic no hanging.planning to get a96 but the market price is making me think twice as I am using lgv50 and it is also great.
lendahand:
I plan getting an oppo a93 phone shortly. I'm going for it because of the spec(8gb/128gb, 4300maH ba3, 64mp/16mp camera, to say the least) if there's any Samsung like this with a very strong battery that can go for 80K max (neatly used) inform me asap

I know of a Gee guy who has never use iPhone for HK and he has been in HK more than 14 years. There was a year I calculated his account more than 25 million naira. He buys latest gadget, I remembered when beat by Dr Dre came out then, he bought it together with the latest Blackberry then so it's not as if he cannot afford an iPhone but I don't know why he prefers android and mostly Samsung or Huawei phones.
I will pick Huawei phone over iphone anyday

The all round build quality and feel of the premiumness when holding an apple product. From the iPad to iPhone everything about apple products just feels superb..

Try holding a Tecno or shitfinix after holding an iPhone then you will know what I am talking about .

Lastly the IOS is just amazingly cool
techno and infinix aren’t the only android phones though, and aren’t even high end android phones.

both phones aren’t of same category hence why you shouldn’t even compare both. I use an iPhone 14, and after seeing one with the s23 ultra, my 14 felt like a chalk of brick to me.

I am sorry you feel this way maybe you do not know what you are holding .

I am using an IPhone 14 Pro Max, and no s23 ultra can make me feel less. Oga my phone costs over a million Naira. We apple loyalists use the phone not for spec measuring that's something we leave to the loser nerds.

You need to understand what class means, buying a Ferrari doesn't make it the fastest car, leave such arguments to the losers the owners don't have time to discuss such rubbish as which car goes from 0.to 100 fastest.

I use iPhones because I am a successful man and I flow with what goes with my status.

I drink at rooftop bars even though I know the ground floor is cheaper not because I am foolish.

Maybe you were given your iPhone, you didn't buy it. I don't buy the most geeky thing because I am past that level. I don't use smart watches either even though they maybe expensive I use premium chronograph watches that aren't cheap .

Learn what class and status symbol means.

The problem is too many uneducated money misroad people in Nigeria who do not know what class means .

So don't tell me how you feel about the s23 whatever I do not care

I can't do without an android phone. Just the power of termux alone cannot be over emphasized. If you want to fully enjoy coding benefits with cellie. Android champions that niche
A swr. Termux is a beast.
The last time I wanted to buy a phone, I consider led an iPhone. I then thought of:
1. Termux
2. Acode
3. The fact that I crack all my premium apps, and the huge distros of cracked apps and free apps repost at my finger tips

Android feels like home. I then decided to get an iPhone only if it isn't gonna be my only phone. Lol

I don’t do class and status symbol , that’s for those that care about it to do. Why on earth should I be bothered with whatever an individual thinks about me? I only bother about the power I weird as a successful individual. I have never seen an iPhone user and think, wow this person is successful. In fact to be honest, the first thought that comes to my mind when I see an iPhone user in Nigeria is “ yahoo boy, hookup girl”. I’m a very productive person. I use my phone for my work and many other features. I bet you I know more than that phone you might think you are holding more than I do. An example of feeling frustrated by Apple. The EU recently passed a bill regulating every software made and sold within the EU region to have the ability of installing third party apps (side load). Apple fought tooth and nail to have that bill killed but unfortunately for them it passed. Now instead of Apple to do as the law stated, they released a deamon file called “countryd” this will enable them determine where your device country is from using your IP, your GPS, and service provider region. They are locking the ability to side load to only those within the EU and keeping it as private as possible, which is such a bullshit move. Apple was rumored to be locking their type C features to only full apple certified type C chargers for new iPhones. It’s just so frustrating keeping up with apple on this. I used to be a MacBook user but upon switching to a high end windows PC, I realized the MacBook was thrash, and everything just worked with the windows.
I feel that same frustration with Apple generally and a Samsung s23 ultra is the perfect device I wish I went for.

PS my phone is the regular iPhone 14 and not the 14 pro max .

Stop buying cheap devices. Lol.

DanielsParker:
1. No hanging. Its RAM optimization has made it impossible for lagging to occur.

2. Durability. iPhones are generally long lasting. Android cameras go blurry and bad over time.

3. iPhones are generally fast phones! Imagine the speed of the Face ID

I think iPhones stand the test of time.

Again I do not care for specs and all these EU issues. Class defines a man, boys have swag men have class, you need to learn the difference when you grow up bro.

You stated you are productive, my friends and I had a good laugh over that. Bro when you come up you will sit and laugh at alot of mindsets you have now.

Baba time no dey forget all that you think is cool now will seem trivial to you one day.

I don't even know the specs of the last 5 iPhones I have used. Who cares ? I don't . I just stay up to date.

Dstv sent me a mail to upgrade to Dstv prestige I replied and gave a go ahead I don't know what's prestige about it but that word is all I needed to see.

Whenever I come back to Nigeria it will be already subscribed in my home there.

Bro don't worry keep the hustle legit , a time will come you will look at all the USELESS knowledge you had now one processor specs , lawsuits etc and all that and realize it was all USELESS

Cheers bro

The problem with apple users is the constant koolaid marketing from apple.
No "new" feature on any iPhone that hasn't been available on android devices for 5 years.
Lmao

MartinsD12:

cheesy funny u, android has it already it's called digital well being and parental control you can set it on your android to limit your phone usage this is not an issue at all infact the reason you gave for switching to iphone is not that convincing because same feature is on Android too, check the time I only did barely 1hour 44 mins since morning oo and besides there is also on same digital well being feature that tells me to stop using my phone while driving or walking along the road, android is still a beast though, it can't be written off. Iphone is awesome too , that's the beauty of life variety.

What do you know about being tech savvy?

You think everyone has time to do basic MOD or useless hacks that solves no issue?

Security, privacy, speed and ease of use is better than useless MODS lol... Which real tech savvy perosn will have time modding their device which solves no issues at all.


There's difference between being tech savvy and being a game lover or script kid.


What's the point installing unnecessary custom ROM, Unnecessarily memory allocation, unnecessary IMEI change, unnecessary rooting so many unnecessary rubbish that exposes your device to malware, brick and data bridge lol 😂
