Very Very bad combination. But there's a way around it sha, when it comes to connectivity.

PythonDancer:

Oh! , I’m a slave to my phone whose charger and earphones I’ve been using for almost a year now .with no single issue.
But you’re a master to your own phone that forces you to buy new chargers every week ?
Clown ! It has nothing to do . My ass !
Go play with some sand

PythonDancer:

You should kuku say android will bring the files to him itself without looking for it. Clown

Bu5inessman:

PythonDancer:

You dy mind that dude. Lol

maasoap:




He didn't disagree, he actually said that "he saw it". His point is that why would anyone rich enough to buy iPhone (new or used one) but not rich enough to buy music player app. Suffer suffer

MollyBank:
To be honest iPhones are not for most Nigerians;

The last time I was there, I couldn't download iTunes on my laptop using Google in Nigeria. I had to tour the whole cyber cafe in Awka looking for who has got iTunes on their laptops.

That alone is a big no for me.
My nephew wanted me to get an iPhone for him, I told him, you will be frustrated using that in Nigeria. When your friends in schools are downloading lots on their androids, you will just be there wondering why you cant do so on your iPhone. I got an S8 for him.

For those who use their phones for music recording Iphone is my choice I can choose whether I want to use my studio mic or my iPhone and that’s something one cannot achieve without losing quality on an android its not just about the price it’s about how when an Android is down it is down lol like seriously it won’t wake up but Iphone you can narrow it down to two things screen or battery not cpu or virus bro

I’ve used android when my iPhone was stolen lol I hustled to come back because you can’t compare na only bad bele even Samsung with the latest you better wear body armor before your phone becomes a weapon against you

Mark9854:
Well there's actually nothing to gain, but that doesn't change the fact that IPHONE is an overpriced piece of disappointment though... I think ANDROID is the destination IPHONE is struggling to reach!!!

kolaaderin:
Op this is the truth. Iphone is for show here and I dont envy the users. U want practicality, use andriod. Its just like toyota, the world can never be wrong.

LeonMacJames:


You guys don't know that Airdrop is actually bluetooth ? But just restricted to Apple devices.

Mark9854:

Its kind of a
Manchester united & Chealsea or
Barcelona & Real Madrid thing... You naturally can't like the both, its a pick one hate the other thing.

Samsung manufactures the components in iphone. The best phone to have now is a Samsung. Iphone is captivating because of its glitz, the chrome and high alloy metals, used in its casing. Functionally it is behind Samsung for productivity. A good example is the opening post by OP, his productivity was hindered because his glitzy, celebrity class, iphone failed to perform a very basic utility.

Also, Apple kept its products outside of the open collaboration project amongst developers. This means while product manufacturers are designing printers, projectors, scanners, usb, tv, they focus on inter-operability for the participating products. Therefore to print, to use projector, to use file sharing, to use hdmi....you have to get Apple products or buy extra accessories to adapt the interface link.

I found out with my Mac Air. Nigeria is not a good environment for Mac because their products are expensive and you need many of these accessoroes tied together to get productive work done.

Unlike windows or Android...its plug and play!

In fact for those who dont yet know, Windows10 has released a new update that mirror your Android phone on the PC desktop. The apps you have on your phone can now be extended to pc desktop. Only windows10 has this capability. Get the update. If you are working on computer and someone send you whatsapp message you dont have to pause, pick up phone, respond and return to pc. Everything is right there as an app on pc and it uses your credential on the phone.

In a nutshell, iphone is classy and catchy but is good for those who have money to waste buying different components or those who do not have demanding productivity to begin with and their work is limited to blogging, emailing, facebooking, tweeting and so on. If you have to make presentations, if you have to build reports, if you use statistical calculations to build and report metrics, if you are lead on a project.....forget about iphone in Nigeria. It maybe different in Europe or America...but in naija, no no!

All this epistle buy you failed to answer the question

Sharrap there

Airdrop is airdrop and Bluetooth is Bluetooth

IrokoOluwere:
I wanted to print some pdf documents on my iphone yesterday . So I was at this cafe and I simply asked to send the stuffs to one of them via WhatsApp so they can print for me . Cos I left my flash drive at home .
The young lady that attended to me said I should connect my phone to the pc via USB . Bla bla bla or send via Bluetooth. Bla bla bla .
I told her , my phone won’t allow me to do that . And none of their PCs is a Mac , I would have sent it via airdrop.
The girl disagreed and wanted to argue . I was like You wan know my phone reach me?
Oya take USB chord ,connect it and be looking for the file . Or send your Bluetooth you’re talking about.
Then some other guy asked if there was any problem? He then asked what kind of phone ? Then the lady told him it’s an iPhone .
The guy was like . Ahh ,iPhone and you wan connect USB . You go tire o .
I faced the lady and said ... “sheybe I tell you”.
Next second ... not less than four people that were probably customers descended on me and started yelling .
… how can you be using an iPhone with no android as a second phone .
... You go dy use stupid iPhone, stupid phone . Just because you wanto oppress people with it, that’s why you bought it .
... iPhones are not made for Nigerians , you’re wasting your time .
... better go and sell it and buy android .
... only Americans use iPhones.
... any Nigerian using iPhone is stupid .
And they went on and on and on . I was dumbfounded, yet pissed .
I was like What is the meaning of all these nonsense you’re telling me?
I haven’t met any of these people before for heavens sake !
Why are you people sounding so insecure like this ? Jeez !
I simply ignored them and went ahead to print my stuff ...

it happens here on Nairaland every now and then too
Whenever there’s a thread about iPhones , you see android fan boys all over the place spewing as much trash as they could .
Please come here and tell me what exactly do you stand to gain ?
