That's your personal opinion, and I respect it. To you, the notch is ugly, but if it gives me the functional security features I need, I like it.

Truth be told, you barely notice this notch during your day-to-day usage of the iPhone.

About Google pixels having Apple's-level face unlock, you heard wrong. Do pixel phones used to have fugly notches and chins that carried no useful hardwares, YES.

The Samsung S22+ is an amazing device, though, but I pick Iphone 14 Pro Max. I hope we can shake on that.

Well, you're wrong about Google Pixel not having secure face unlock. Maybe they didn't promote and hype it enough.

It is obvious u don’t own an iPhone. I use iPhone now but was formerly using android.
With audiomack, and other apps, even the inbuilt player, u can play musics offline. Like the guy above said, android users are too use to free stuffs which is typical of Africans especially Nigerians. Wen it comes to OS, iOS is unbeatable. It’s super smooth and tantalizing. It is true iOS doesn’t permit sharing via Bluetooth and doesn’t accept files like android but that’s the beauty of iOS and it’s for security reasons and better ways to avoid virus. I see android as a whole and iOS as decent. Note, these are my own opinion. Gracias.

I've used over five Android phones in the last 3 years and I have never gotten a virus sharing files through Bluetooth and WiFi Direct or the USB cable even with the rooted one. I can use Spotify, Apple, Music, Audio Mack, inbuilt music player with downloaded songs and nothing happens.
Make una dey calm down. The chances of getting a "virus" on a good Android phone is significantly lower than some of you iPhone guys make it seem

Vietnaminfo:
I will advise you to go for Samsung s22 ultra and forget about IPhone 14 Pro and Samsung s23 ultra. The Samsung s22 is the real deal. Check the specifications of Samsung s22 ultra and Samsung s23 ultra and you will know that the difference are not much while Samsung s22 ultra has more power life than S23 Ultra. I am presently using Samsung s22 ultra mobile after comparing both Samsung. I wish you goodluck

Don't deceive him. The S23 Ultra is a significantly more refined phone with objectively better battery life.

You can actually modify the UI (I'll attach a picture of a simple modification I did in November on my iPhone 14 Pro Max). There are other things you mentioned that aren't completely correct.

Here are some facts:

All mobile OEMs copy features from one another. In fact, some companies thrive in dubbing other brands' devices look and features. Xiaomi can relate.

- Apple isn't one to jump headfirst into copy a feature when Android-based device makers have already pushed it out (even when not perfected) to their customers. Fingerprint scanner on Android devices had been out for 3 years and it was a joke the whole time, but when Apple added it to the iPhone 5S and 5C, it just worked.

We all know that Android is still battling with face unlock, although they introduced it first, but Apple's face ID has been Amazing since 2017.

What I'm trying to say is that:

- When Apple decides to copy a feature, they make it the Apple way. It just works.

- While I enjoy Android devices and have used several Samsung flagships, I love the app experience on IOS. While an app may look basic on Android, you'll get a whole different level oh wow on iOS.

You know why this happens? Apart from the fact that developers could code an app to work with iPhone iPad and MacBook without needing to rewrite their code, they (developers) are more motivated to put in more work because they tend to get a larger market of users willing to support them in cash.

This is why they don't put much work into Android apps development. I tend to use the Twitter Space a lot, and even if you use the Samsung S23 Ultra, you won't get a basic, but super useful search bar option when you click on "Spaces", which means you can't search for what interests you.

This is as frustrating as having to pay to use my music player, right? Wrong! Who says you have to pay for songs on iPhones? Just download Audiomack and you're good. But even at this, if you can spend $1000 on a phone, it shouldn't be hard to spend 900 Naira every month on Spotify subscription.

My conclusion:

iOS and Android are both amazing platforms, and it is a poor mentality to say that people only buy iPhones to show their status, or because they're Yahoo Boys who want to have many girls chasing them.

We should learn to respect other people's choices. People should be able to use iPhones, Android devices or even landlines and that's fine by everyone else.

Android manufacturers aren't pushing face unlock with 3D scanners because no one wants an ugly notch on their phone just to unlock it. It's not impossible to implement. I heard Google Pixel has had it in the past.
Personally I love the almost infinite feel of my S22+ screen instead of the giant ugly notch on iPhone 13 series downwards. Most apps I use are functional enough on Android. I don't need to nitpick to justify a closed ecosystem.

Abudu2000:
iphone is the best, innovation, build quality, performance etc ios is way way ahead of android but you can’t see it all because you think granting you freewill to share files is all but bro there’s more to the internet and technology than those. When iphone eliminated the headphone jack Samsung mocked them and then followed suite. Now apple is moving towards wireless charging completely. Watch Samsung also eliminate their charging port also. I would pick iphone 12pro max over any Samsung I don’t care what they are offering.

No one mentions iPhones and innovation together. They're usually three generations behind on most smartphone technology. There's nothing great about moving to a completely wireless smartphone unless you want to have Apple control you even more tightly.

pinkyruledworld:
Thanks bro.
But iI tried this earlier and it does not work.
You got any other tryouts for me?

I think American variants of Samsung phones or At&T ones don't let you change the network type. It's greyed out.

Lungdick:
Thank God i quitted porn about 4.5 years ago.


to everyone still watching, QUIT!!!

Your Nairaland username belies your claim.

rtdCivilservant:
Am I the only person with a different opinion? Nigeria has really descended into a level that can only be comparable to hell. Where is our humanity? See people rejoicing that somebody was gunned down cos of election, why couldn't those soldiers shoot the culprit any other place (like his legs) that will not result to his death? In sane countries, those soldiers are supposed to be arrested, but here in Nigeria (Hell) they are being celebrated. If only we know how sacred a soul is.

No one will sympathize with political thugs for anything. Usually these guys set out to kill and maim in a bid to achieve their aims. Been in a situation where political thugs held a whole town hostage for hours while brandishing dangerous weapons and bragging. I have no sympathy for anyone who can lose their moral compass for greedy politicians.

FuckYourFather:
Shut up! lie na stolen phone.

accomplce

Educate yourself on what a network locked phone is. That's what's being mentioned by the OP. I wonder where some of you guys creep up from. All the thuggish behaviour on Nairaland kills the value of the site. Some of us learned a lot from Nairaland and even found ways to earn a living legitimately. It's sad that some people are either career tribalists on here or just go about insulting everyone.

Wodu89:
People should behave civil and mature

Not to be hasty to always taint people's businesses

Hundreds of millions of locked paypal accounts have released funds held in them before now

If I create a thread say invest, they'll shout scam. Now i conduct my business in peace I see a full discolouring my business and you want me not to respond and react to that unrefined being. Never. You don't start a battle and choose the battle narrative

If PayPal slam an account with Acceptable Use Policy violation by the end of 180 days all the money in the account up to $2500 will be gone. And I have seen a few Acceptable Use Policy penalties sometimes running into a few thousand.

Bolaji38:
Bro this is hsv2...You need to buy valtrex tablet or acyclovir ASAP with acyclovir cream...Don’t let that stuff burst open...instead take the drugs and use the cream and in a week or so you would be fine but note that you will have to take that drug for the rest of your life because it’s gonna lie dormant in your body after this ist treatment and would pop back up once in a while...if that stuff bursts open, your dick is finished bro.

Advise him to see a doctor, not social media prescription. If you were even a doctor you'd know social media consultation is not allowed.

Klass99:
You know a man is gay and you still want him to sleep with you, not taking into consideration the potential risks of being infected with HIV or some other STD .

Dem use marriage swear for us in Africa? She obviously values this marriage more than she values her life and well being. Seriously, who did this to us in Africa?

I know a lady that says she won't divorce her husband if she finds out he's gay and sleeps with men outside. Funny enough this lady won't date me because I'm irreligious

OkoAmarashy:
I have both Opay and Kuda for daily transfers but will never use them for major banking transactions. They are only meant for small transactions of like 5M and below.

They are Microfinance banks and so, are subject to lesser regulatory compliance requirements compared to commercial banks.

People have had even foreign currencies going missing from "Bank of the Year" like Zenith Bank. I'll use any bank that is approved by the CBN. I know a few major medium scale businesses businesses that use Opay.

Ogonimilitant:
Benue indigens don't deserve any kind of empathy. A group of People that came together to vote a government that is killing them everyday.

Voting for your killings to continue.
APC won in Agatu. It's shamful

I heard some Obidients are stupid & I try to write it off but some of you people prove me wrong every day. Like someone said, you wish Benue people evil because Tinubu won by 10k votes? Do you know how many Benue people I know personally that worked hard for an Obi victory? Or you don't realise that Ortom performing woefully means some people were going to vote against his interests?
People say they don't like Obidients because of such wicked tendencies and I used to think it's an excuse. But I hope some of you with darkened hearts don't control the narrative or else national victory will never be a thing because of this bitter politics.
How many northern states did Obi get such a margin in?

Brittbreaker:
.
So in order words, u are saying no platform or app can send dollars at bank rate to the US apart from sending through Domiciliary account?

Absolutely NONE. Would you sell an item for 460/unit if others were successfully selling at 750/unit even if you somehow miraculously acquired it cheaply? The obvious answer is no.

Brittbreaker:
Who knows how I can send money to US using bank rate, not black market rate. I need this information urgently guys. Thanks

Who would give you that information, especially for free if it were actually a thing. If you have the CBN governor's number you can try him. Otherwise, get ready to take a bank CEO hostage and have them wire the money.

Gaabasky:
Why are u worrying? Vote u didn't vote for him and u called him many derogatory names.
But don't worry much because Tinubu is not a religion bigotry n he understands the diversity of this country.

LOL. Tinubu doesn't understand diversity & inclusive politics. Not voting a political office holder does not mean citizens lose their voice. It's an election, not a war of conquest

Until you hear rate & you start negotiating.

scholarshipbaze:
Lol, m worth over 30m in cash and assets, still skeptical about staying in the country or leaving thats why am still in a selfcon... She doesn't know

But i wana marry befor either leaving or settling, and am wondering if you can't now, where is the love??

Guy, your girlfriend gave an honest answer. I'd personally not recommend my sister to marry a man staying in a self con. One bedroom minimum for a start. It's not even remotely elitist or gold digging. It's just basic for a couple. A lady can agree to your self con & still not be right. But she expects minimums from you you can also ensure she's employed or doing a business. Also have some standards.

ModCaller:
Tell her that any girl who can't marry you as you are now is not worth your time

I certainly will not advise my sister to marry a man still staying in a self con. It makes zero sense. At worst it should be one bedroom. You people should realise marriage is serious business.

Mylove55:
elrufai said emefiele sold a dummy to buhari,
he advised buhari wrongly for his personal interest

This is funny that they're trying very hard to shift the blame from the president who gives the orders. If we go by this the president will never be responsible for anything that goes wrong in his adminstration.

Mylove55:
let me assume you don't understand English,
He said emefiele is pdp

Let's pretend we aren't all uninformed. The CBN governor receives instructions from the president. The recirculation of 200 naira for example was directed by the president and he clearly stated less cash reduced the influence of money politics. El' Rufai should blame the president.

AutoConsult:
Cry today, cry tomorrow, cry forever. Obi is done and gone. Move on and reconcile with the friends you have insulted. Purge yourself of all these bitterness and bile in your heart. It'll not take you anywhere.

END.

I don't insult my friends over politicians. At the most we argue back and forth and move on. Some people killed fellow humans in 2011 over Buhari's loss and Buhari eventually became president four years later. Now he has taken us back economically, or at least we're hardly better off for it. Unless a friend is irredeemably unreasonable, I won't break bridges over politicians who mostly only care about themselves.

AutoConsult:
Gbenu oshi lo. Obi Pandora cannot be compared with the man of integrity, M. Buhari. So get lost. Obi is done.

"Man of integrity" who has driven the economy down the ditch? There is nothing special about President Buhari.
And you don't need to masturbate over Obi stashing some personal wealth abroad as long as it is not illegally acquired, which no one is claiming. Here's a link to an article about wealthy Kenyans returning some of their wealth from abroad because the economic outlook is currently bad. It also states the reason why rich people do it everywhere.
You don't need to glorify ignorance this way, especially when you think Buhari of all people is special.
Mr integrity who deviated from a promise to operate the government on a lean budget. This is how you guys sold false hope to everyone.

computer0810:
While ppl were going into every part of Nigeria to campaign for tinubu obiDENSE were online attacking and insulting anybody, pastors, celebrities that stays neutral or did not support obi

Pretty sure Obi wouldn't win any states outside of the Southeast if nobody campaigned.
And everyone with eyes knows that we have unhinged Tinubu supporters too insulting people everywhere. This brand of toxic campaign was also employed in 2011 with the then Buharists insulting everyone from GEJ's family to his cabinet and any supporter caught in the crossfire.

Wickedfacts:
I'm a hunter. I hunt Biafran bush pigs for a living.

Would you like to be prepared?
Fried or roasted.

And I get paid
Same amount as your mother's bride price

Bride price is symbolic in African culture. It's not the literal worth of anyone. I'm not sure you're worth any equivalent in symbolism though considering how unhinged you are on the internet behind your keyboard. And unlike you, my mom is a respectable senior civil servant and known for staying away from petty quarrels with people she shares the same space with as a pastime.

Wickedfacts:
Soludo is a Professor of economics. He knows about subtraction, addition, statistics, algebra, substituted division, staggered multiplication.
He knew Obi was coming to divide Atiku’s votes and add to Tinubu's votes. Simple arithmetic.

Obi on the other hand is a 3rd class failure who used a decade to study philosophy. You can't expect him to be intelligent like Soludo.

I suppose you get paid for all these attacks on Obi & the bile you spill on SE through Nairaland? What do you do for a living though?

VTJN:
I swear that Soludo na witch. The guy say Obi will come a distant third and it happened


I respect Soludo seriously

Obi was hardly a "distant" third. For you to get proper context, look at the gap in 2015 & now.

Wickedfacts:
Professor Okigwe, It is petulant, not pechulant.

Secondly, since Buhari ran 4 times, it means Obi will also run 4 times. He had 3 mote to go. I don't now see why you are crying.

Thanks for the correction. I just went with my keyboard. I don't think anyone born of a woman can spell all English words correctly all the time. Sometimes it's autocorrect. Other times I spell it the way it sounds in my head (e.g homophones) even when I know the actual spelling as I'm typing hurriedly. And this is coming from the best in English spelling back in secondary school.
Back to topic, people have different pathways in life. Obi could contest under the right conditions and win. It only took GEJ one try to win once and he lost on attempt number 2.
PDP once thought they'd be in power for decades to come and now they're barely second most popular party

Wickedfacts:
Only thing holding Pdp together is Wike. If he dare leaves, PDP will die like Obi's ambition.

No one in PDP respects Wike right now. He's like a pechulant child. As for Obi's ambition, you people sound like Buhari didn't lose the presidential election three times & even shedding tears before eventually winning it due to GEJ becoming unpopular & him forming an alliance. It may not be the case for Obi but most of you guys don't look beyond your noses.
