Network locked, blacklisted and with 84% battery health and you set this price? Is this playing?

Last last, iPhone isn't for everybody. Stick with your Android if:

1. You want to transfer stuff with USB cable when you could use Xender and a plethora of new generation, file sharing app alternatives.

2. You want to use launchers or set ringtones

3. You think the default music player app you find on Android gives you better flexibility and you can't download third-party music players that offer the same thing on iPhone

4. You just hate the iPhone flagships because you can't afford one.

5. You believe the ramblings of an iPhone hater, who is comparing new Android devices with iPhone 8 and below.

Tobedated:
Poco f3 check the specs out yourself its around 200k and better than all other phones in its price range.

You can't go wrong by choosing this

tunnex190:
Thanks. It's double ** before 21*…? Just trying to clarify that.

And please what if I want to cancel the call forwarding after sometimes

Yes, double **. To cancel it, just dial ##21# on the SIM and you're good

You can forward all calls to a new number.

Put the SIM card in a phone and dial **21*NUMBER#

Hello sir
Sir I have Samsung Galaxy S8 plus for sale
I'm in Lagos island

Drop the picture

dyfaze:
Let’s just pray to be rich. I remembered I used to say I can’t buy phone of 100k but I later realized that I was talking base on that present condition (I am still on God though). A time will come when 500k will be like 1k to you though fingers are not equal but once you can afford quality phones with nice specification, forget it, you will surely buy it.

I love this you've just said bro. It's nothing but the truth

sunshineV:
lol ur diick eating game is awazing. I'll giv u dat

Who doesn't know you, the dick-starved Banshee? I don't have to conform to your idea of what the best phone is, so gediffok.

Lol. Samsung fans making it look like foldable phones are that new. Dudes, foldables have been around since the Eriksson era.

How strong are the foldable phones Samsung and others keep releasing? Might surprise you that Apple has been working on one, but won't release it until it looks good enough to them.

Apple isn't one to add an "old" feature without ensuring that they beat the competition by enhancing that feature. Think about the face ID on Android vs the one on iPhones.

SergeantTitus:
Mr man stop arguing with me. I have the SOS feature on my a13 and I don't need cellular network. There's an option for satellite there. Iphone copies everything from android.

I can't help you at this point.

I see many ignorant responses here. iPhone in the stone age? This is pure sapa-inspired bitterness.

Make una favorites bring something as simple as the Pro-Res to Samsung and other devices first.

Even Google is trying everything possible to make iPhones use the yeye messages app on Android.

Samsung that y'all are hyping is fund of trolling Apple, only to the same thing they trolled Apple for in their next device.

SergeantTitus:
Feature wey I dey flex for my galaxy a13. You don't need network nothing nothing.

Lol. No talk this thing outside again, I beg you. You go look ignorant.

That SOS feature on Samsung relies on your cellular network, by connecting to a nearby communication antenna. iPhones have this feature too.

This satellite SOS is something else entirely. You connect directly to a satellite, with your phone showing you the location of the satellite, aiding the connection.

With this connection, without cellular network, even if you're in the Amazon forests or on Mount Everest, you can quickly reach emergency services or even send your location to your family members and get help.

This feature, before now, needed the use of special satellite phones. Those types you see used in deserts or off-shore rigs in American movies.

Please i need an Engineer that can teach phone engineering. Mostly blackberry and nokia phones. Am located @mushin. Please hola 08098484800 and let me know the procedures and duration. Regards.

You later find that help, bro? Me self dey find who go teach me BlackBerry repairs now

Uchiha14:
Only one phone uses ios so they have to be careful no.4

No. In the tech world, things get obsolete quickly. Apple could have chosen to not support the iPhone 6s for about 7 years.

Samsung S6 edge was released the same year. It didn't get that much support. Most Android phones only get 2major OS upgrades.

Uchiha14:
Drive is more secure its very hard to hack since the will hack you back

Google drive? It's not that secured. Did you know that you can get paid stuff for free, if they're uploaded on Google drive? You only need to use a Google dork string.

I'll tell you how:

Search for whatever you want and add "site:drive.google.com" to it, and you'll be welcomed with many Google drive accounts that contain that file you're looking for. I mean accounts that were passworded by their owners o.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

photoshop crack site:drive.google.com

Chaos14temp:
When i was learning a bit of hacking i learnt its not that hard to hack icloud and time machine on apple and did you know that apple checks all users phone for illegal content, even though its for security reasons they still get your info

Every phone maker monitors for for one reason or the other. But it's better on iOS then on Android, where any app can monitor you immediately you give it some permissions.

However, apps are sandboxed on iPhone, so they don't get access to your personal data. iPhones are the most secured out there (after Blackberry died)

About iCloud: it's still the most secured out there.

Chaos14temp:
Ios creates the os and only iphones use it so they have to be careful while creating the os. So that it will make most of the phones in the line still usefull like what would happen if iphone 6 stoped at ios 10.
android developers aren't really bothered with this because the know most flagship phones can still handle the heaT

This point doesn't bring solid arguments against what I have said. To be honest, it's confusing too.

Chaos14temp:
i have to argue that 3 and 4 with you

I love arguments because I love to learn. Hit me oga mi

Prinzton:
Having been a user of both, and finally pitching my tent with for flexibility I would say Apple has never introduced anything innovative into smartphone development from IPhone 1 to date as it strives on stealing other companies achievements (innovation). and markets on its existing platform.

Apples marketing strategy has been claiming to sell to the upper class using the less quantity high price tag to retain value. But Google, affordability.



Samsung has the crown and record of most sold phone in the world.


Compare other flagship android devices



Aluminium is more expensive than steel and light weight as regards weight of a premium smartphone



Samsung is apple's partner as her screen manufacturer.


You're right on this cos the screen would buy an iPhone on same level.



Until apple goes open source then you'll understand this. Stock OS from the Nexus and pixel supercedes and other flagship




Android does this



Google does this via Google services for as long as ever possible which Apple does not. The more reason you get affordable older devices.



Cc: Atheistsandproud

1. Please use iPhone's airdrop feature to send gigabytes of data and do the same for any Android device using nearby share or Xender. Please come back and share the speed result.

2. Steel is stronger and more durable than aluminium.

3. iOS cannot be open source for obvious reasons: Apple likes exclusivity and they also don't play with security. This is apart from wanting to enjoy the monopoly.

4. iPhone 6s was released about 7 years ago and shipped with iOS9 installed on it. It got as far as iOS 15. Kindly name one 7-year-old Android device (on Android 6.0) with Android 12 today. I'm happy to know

5. Kindly refer to the data below so you see that Apple iPhones are the most sold currently.

Epurogonogono:
Twitter on android, see the search bar.

Not the general search bar bro. Click on spaces (the microphone icon at the bottom-middle of your phone's screen) and then watch the search bar disappear.

Epurogonogono:
Please enlighten us, we are here to learn.
That's why this post is a question.

I'll do just that, bro.

First, iPhones aren't only popular in Nigeria. They are popular everywhere; iPhones take the crown as the most sold device in the world.

iPhones are expensive because:

Apple only releases flagship devices (apart from the SE series that will soon be discontinued) every year, and they use premium materials to build these devices.

Apple build their flagship pro models using steel, which is more expensive and durable than the aluminium frame used in other flagship devices from other companies, including Samsung.

Samsung's S22 Ultra and Fold 4 are more expensive than the iPhone 13 Pro Max, but they use an inferior build frame when compared to the iPhone.

Although their screen is brighter and nicer than the iPhone's, of what benefit is it when it's put in an aluminium frame that isn't strong enough to protect it, especially when it's a curved display?

This is not to say that iPhone's screens aren't nice. They're actually amazing too.

If you think iPhones are expensive to repair or maintain, you should try repairing a Samsung flagship 's screen.

Apple ecosystem is just so amazing. If you have an iPhone and a Mac, or an iPad, you can answer your calls from your iPad or Mac, if someone calls your iPhone that's in another room.

Also, if you are browsing a website on your Mac or iPad, you can continue from there you stop on your iPhone.

You can copy texts or media files from your iPhone and paste them on your iPad or Mac

You send a text message to an iPhone user and instead of your airtime, data is used.

The phone just works! You're sure that you can pick your phone up and expect it to work pretty fast, without hanging or anything.

You don't need to close apps before your phone works super fast. Most times, I go back to an app I opened 2 days ago and I get to return to where I stopped using the app, without the app reloading. Crazy, right?

Apps have advanced functions than on Android:

1. Twitter space on iPhone has a search bar where you can find spaces you want. The one on Android doesn't have a search bar. You only get what Twitter shows you.

2. I can hardpress a WhatsApp chat and read the message someone had sent to me, without it telling the person that I read their message. Same works from status updates.

3. I can install good shortcuts like "R+ Download" and download videos from any social media app without needing a third-party app.

4. I can airdrop a 1GB file or more in matter of seconds. Yes, I mean seconds!

5. Video recording on an iPhone is just amazing. You won't understand what I'm saying until you record a video on a recent iPhone and a recent Samsung device, and then compare.

4.

Battery life from iPhone 11 series upwards can compete with any Android phone out there with bigger battery Mag.

My iPhone 13 Pro Max lasts me almost a full day on heavy usage. Battery life is better than even the Samsung S22 Ultra.

Processor on this phone is still the most powerful on the market right now. Imagine what the iPhone 14 Pro's processor will be like.

Resale value is good, because not only are iPhones durable because of their build, but Apple also gives software support for almost 4 years after you buy a phone.

I'll let you know of other iPhone advantages, if I think of any.

I see a lot of ignorance in this thread, but I never get chance to reply una

Adiob200:
Have been trying to install chrome and Facebook liteon iPhone 6..but is not working..how can it work

You can install it by doing this:

1. Get a friend who has a more recent iPhone and logon to your iTunes (not iCloud) account on their phone;

2. Go to Appstore and download Chrome on their phone.

3. Logout of your iTunes account on their phone and log the account back on your phone.

4. Open Appstore on your phone and search for Chrome. You'll be able to download it this time

Do this for any app you're finding difficult to download on your iPhone 6.

Enjoy

Hype and "make I belong" fuels the popularity of iPhone.

That's my stand.

Thank you.

I can't help you at this point. Things are worse than I thought, plus you have the right to your opinions.

Chaos14:
But the specs are amazing and it doesn't depreciate easily

No doubts OnePlus phones are nice, but secondhand pricing depends on location. Selling a OnePlus device in a place where it's barely known will reduce its market value.

atheistandproud:
Thank you. It's a generic one I bought from Jumia. Believe it or not, I bought it for 1,800 + shipping fees (800) last year April and it's been serving me well.

Best 1,800 that I have ever spent.

Be like say I go buy am too o. It doesn't sound generic at all. Imagine recording this video with Dolby On app + your mic. E go mad

Chaos14:
Thanks for showing this goat but what are you're thoughts about oneplus aside the os

Oneplus users feel like the phone brand is losing originality and fast drifting away from the intents behind the first models.

horlahwaley:
I have never used an iphone, maybe i will try it nowadays just to see the hype around it.
but samsung is the best thing that has ever happened to android. Infact it is the face of android, forget google pixel they are still struggling with hardware.

But iphone users, can one quickly share files from pc to the phone.
Lets say i want to share a document to PC via Bluetooth. Will it work?
How about downloading movies from netnaija and music from NL. Will i be able to play it?
Does MXPLAYER works with ios?
How about true caller?
How about google apps like gmail, google meet?
If all this things works. I am switching cos my day to day activities depends on them.

You want to learn bro, so I'll enlighten you:

1. Except you're connecting your phone to a wireless earbud or headphone, or your car, no one uses Bluetooth in 2022. You can send files through Xender; If you use a Mac, sending gigabytes of data might only take 10 seconds.

2. You can always download movies from Netnaija and all, and then watch it with VLC or any other video player.

3. Truecaller won't work because Apple won't let any app collect unnecessary data from your phone without your knowledge. That's why all these loan apps don't have apps for iPhones - because they wont be able to secretly download your contacts.

4. Gmail and Google meet work. I use other Google apps like Maps, Google sheets, drive, etc on my iPhone.

chariisGRACE:
iPhone is not popular like you envisage. The ignorance of most Nigerians that link owning an iPhone as luxury is behind the surge and craze for it.

The people that are ready to dump a device like the Redmi Note 7 for an iPhone 6... Those are the kind of people that make someone who owns an iPhone appear rich. If there is a surge and demand for something, that thing is "popular".

Bottom line: ignorance fuels the popularity of iPhone.

FYI: OnePlus is an Android device.

iPhone is not popular? I saw that the other lines of texts aren't that informed too. No go talk this thing outside o.

iPhones have continuously top the r chart as the most sold smartphones.

From sneaky data practices to poor network and data breaches. This is the problem with MTN.

Nice video. What microphone do you use bro

liasmiram2567:
My friends I have a serious issue using my Naira MasterCard to purchase things on Apple store. I received an email from my bank that I am placed on DCC (Direct currency conversion) restriction.
What is the way out? Has any one experienced same before and did you get over it?
I will be expecting your positive responses.

Thanks

Create a US iTunes account and start using that instead of your Nigerian iTunes account;

Buy a US iTunes card on Binance and redeem it on your account.

You're welcome
