That year I bought iPhone7, I almost committed suicide because of it... very useless brand. It took me more than a month to decide whether to break it or give it out, because I felt giving someone that kind of phone was evil.

Never again will I try any iPhonesmiley
Buy a brand new iPhone next time .
You probably bought a faulty used phone.

The media had already hinted months ago there would be no Home Button.

And the reason is not far fetched - Apple is making it harder for its devices to be repaired by a 3rd party.

Thus, the 'right to repair' legislation which is being promoted by ifixit.org and other companies.

So after sending out a tweet to Tim Cook few days before the Apple Event, I wasn’t invited but that shouldn’t surprise you that much, I’m a big bad Android lover, yeah I’m not a hardcore iPhone fan, Lol. I guess he wanted me to watch the event via twitter. Well, I’m happy I watched the event online and I really analysed the 3 new iPhone series because here at techcapon.com, we have all the details of all the products that were launched that day and I’m here to give my verdict. Well, I’m not here to tell you the latest iPhone series is not great, NO. I think they’re fantastic, they have a lot of good specs but as for me, I’m not going to be singing all that praise right now in this post. I’ll do that in another post or better still, leave that to all other tech bloggers but for now let me tell you the top 5 things I don’t like about them.

1. NO FINGERPRINT SCANNER/ HOME BUTTON.



Just the same way Apple removed the 3.5mm jack without thinking about our feelings or our opinions, they gone ahead to remove that iconic round home button that iPhone users love so much which also doubles as a fingerprint scanner. I guess they want to give the phone a new edge-to-edge design but a lot of smartphone users are so used to the fingerprint unlock. The round home button give made the iPhone look very pretty and unique. Now they replaced it with Face ID, meaning you must either use the Face ID to unlock your phone or the old school password feature. How insensitive of Apple.

2. BAD NAMES (XR, XS and XS MAX)



Yeah, you’re not the only one who thinks these new iPhones have really weird names. A lot of us techies do also. I mean what was Apple thinking when they came out with bad names like these ? What kind of naming is that ? XR, XS and XS MAX. Lol, try pronouncing those names 5 times consecutively and see if you won’t bite your tongue. What does XR even mean ? X-RATED or what. I think there are better names Apple should have adopted like the iPhone X Pro, iPhone 2X, or even iPhone Max and not XR, XS an XS MAX. Jesus.

As regards d names, they are very okay... Simply iPhone used X from d roman numerals as 10. So it's iPhone 10R, iPhone 10S and iPhone 10S MAX. Dope names.

KoiceReloaded:


Thank you! The guy don't even know that X is a roman numeral of 10. It's pronounced as 10s, not Xs.

Exactly. And for those complaining about the design, who doesn't know apple change their design every 2 yrs. iPhones have a 2 yr life span, so when u buy a new iPhone ur not supposed to buy another one until at least after 2 yrs, if u ask me that is a good thing. How can u buy a phone for $1,000 and then have to change it after a year? It's a premium product made to last for at least 2 yrs, hence why the design is same with minor upgrades. Even Samsung have gone the same route, galaxy s9 is almost same as s8, same with the note except the fingerprint sensor placement which was located in a weird location on the s8 anyway.

Premium phones are supposed to last at least 2 years so why would apple change design every year?

Lol. Only tech enthusiasts call them 10. When I tell people it's pronounced '10' and not 'x', they give me funny looks.

This is true. I won't say respect but just a fan base. When the iphone x was released last year, the 3 people i knew that ordered it first were students. Not in Nigeria though. I am sure they have already preodered the most expensive one with the 6.5 inch screen already.

I can never use an apple product due to the numerous restrictions they have in transfering files. I have an ipod nano 7g i received as a gift, and i dont even remember where i kept the piece of shit.

that home button made me love the iPhones so much. And yes, their names are off. As for their prices, I accepted it long time ago that Apple phones aren't for the poor and needy.



Again the removal of home button and their given names don't make sense. We need something highly attractive. Samsung need to drop the Galaxy thing and rename their future phones. The Galaxy phones all have basically same design sef.



funny how I feel that Infinix, Meizu, Gionee, Elephone and even tecno has better designs than the Samsung Galaxy devices. At least, the designs of the phones from those manufacturers differ

NA the home button I like for the iPhone of a thing. Though, I never use one before ó, but without the unique glme button, am out.

They were designed for sales in developed countries. Alot of people change phones yearly in those countries because they are on payment plan contract with their service providers. The phones are subsidized for their customers. They take the year old phone back and trade it in for the newer model.
It's the same way some people never use a vehicle for more than 3 years before refinancing for a newer model even though the design would just be a minor update or refresh.

Right, but not just for sales in developed countries. Iphones are expensive and it wouldn't make sense to release a new design every year. E.g when u buy a $1,000 phone lets say by April 2018, and by September another model is already out, ur gonna feel like u got the old model. So Apple change designs on 2 yrs basis which is also the time that most people that buy phones on contract need to pay for it (2 yrs). Of course many people will just trade the old one and get a newer model. And then It also makes it easy for people that cannot afford the new model to just get last year's model at a reduced price and still feel on top as u can't really tell which one is iPhone X and iPhone Xs while holding the phone.

Infinix, Meizu, Gionee etc have better looking designs than the galaxy series? For real bro? shocked Are you being sarcastic right now? Have you looked at/held the S8/S9? is there a prettier phone on the planet right now than the S9?

Anyways, thank God you said 'Funny how I FEEL that infinix...' Considering the fact that feelings are usually not based on facts, experience or rational thinking, I won't take your seriously grin

For someone who claims to be a capon in tech, you're under-informed. The "X" is not the alphabetical character X, it's the roman numeral X, pronounced ten, as in 10.

So it's 10S, 10S Max, and 10 R.

What's so weird about that?

Besides the original iPhone X being named so due to it being the tenth anniversary of the iPhone device, Apple has always used the roman numeral to denote the number ten, as in OS X ( OS Ten)

For instance, a normal lg sound system may sell for 35k meanwhile a wireless sound bar goes for almost 200k now what are you telling me, that you still think it's cool having wires all over your living room?? Me self I want apple to remove even that earpiece at the front and make the screen 100full... Just say u no get money, for me this design na killer, I swear apple go still rule for a very long time

One thing u should know is these are expensive phones so bringing out a new design every year is not a wise thing to do, it would make people that bought the last year model look inferior. When u buy a phone for $1,000 - $1,200 and next year a new design comes out, ur gonna look inferior. This is not a $200 phone that the company can afford to release a new design every year.

Let me give u an example. Let's say Toyota release a new 2018 model Corolla for $20,000. That model will sell for the next 4-5 yrs before a new model comes out, with only a minor face lift refresh after 3 yrs. U are not expected to cough out that much on a product only for a new design to come out the following year. iPhones are designed on 2 yr span, same thing with Samsung flagship phones, or what's the difference between galaxy s8 and s9?
