The same way I will rationally justify having hundreds of millions of naira in my account. Ppl that buys it do so because they can afford it not because they want to justify anything, a phone is a phone, it can't build house or teleport you to another country! It's simply a phone, or best called a smartphone. 1 Like |

Show bro! its all for show and optics. Why do you think people whose job ensure they interact with the general public on the daily get paid wardrobe allowance? An o.losho with a price tag of say 5k can confidently demand 500k as far as she's using Apple's 11. Give or take, that 600k is like an investment to some people out there, because it will instantly give them more clout and project affluence... remember, money (even if na audio) attracts money; the poor will always happily give to the rich (or seemingly rich).. sad, but thats the way it is... And besides, these days, phones are a lot more than just phones. They are accessories we now consider more fashionable than other fashion accessories like gold... now, rationalise why someone will shell out N10m for example on a ring? 2 Likes |

IMASTEX: You're very right. Your point is the same reason why businesses that thrived for decades in Nigeria began to dwindle & eventually go under when the founders of such businesses handed over to their children to manage. The children who are more frivolous in spending ran the business aground. We have many examples here in Nigeria. |

DAVE5: Well, you got a point there though cos there are things people in the high income brackets go for that the low income earners will call luxury. Bottom line is, taste determines rationality. 1 Like |

Timileyin1234: You really spoke my mind! I think much of it have to do with the poverty mentality of an average Nigerians. Here in North America (US & Canada) nobody cares what kind of smart phone you possess. Nobody worship you because you are using the latest iPhone. There are other very expensive phones some of us are using but we don't make noise about it. If you are in Nigeria and can afford 600k to get the iphone, get it but please dont use it to intimidate your fellow country men. I know some ladies who have already made up their mind to sleep with countless men in order to raise 600k for the latest iPhone, while some guys are already scheming for whom to scam to raise 600k for iPhone. |

Those that buy it earn tons of money. It's their choice to buy whatever they want cos they can afford it and still be okay. While those who earn little and still save to buy the phone buys it to attract rich people. Its all packaging. No matter how broke you are, present your self well in order to attract favour. |

orunmila144:You just confirmed my earlier point that you lived in the ghetto. First, mashable is not a forum, it is a blog. Second, you couldn't even read your own link to see that the dip in sales was primarily due to economies in emerging market and China's problem. I bet you didn't even see some customers protesting changes in iPhone design because you were too lazy to read. Only ghetto dwellers would complain about iPhone being expensive.

jclassiq:How is it your business how he spends his money? I hope the phone you are using is not more than 15K because that would make you the worst hypocrite on this forum. There are 10K phones that can browse, yet you bought an expensive one. How many people have you explained your reasons to? |

GeoAfrikana:You are thinking from the perspective of existence rather than living and that is a rather poor state to be in. Since you have been harping on the word "value", I hope you realize that it is not some dollar or naira metrics you derive from an action. It is whatever you believe derive from it. Expensive vacations, religious pilgrimage, and a 600K iPhone all make sense to those who can afford it. I once flew to see a long-time friend when he was close by. It did improve my life in my own way. From your perspective, I had wasted money that could have been used for "better" things. Can you honestly say that there are no phones 20K or 30K cheaper that provide similar value as your google pixel? Is it really a sound decision to spend a 3 month plus minimum wage on a phone regardless of how much you are worth? |

Nmaudu: pocohantas: This is false equivalence a 15K phone won't have 4g for one, won't have a good RAM to open more than 2 apps at once without reloading. the camera would probably have grains and can't capture properly whereas what OP is asking is what his own phone isn't capable of doing that an iPhone could and I'm yet to hear a good answer to such. 1 Like |

If you have the means then it's justified; but if you don't enjoy the same features from other phones you can afford. Phones don't increase your life span so go easy on the trends. |

I have been buying all the samsung notes from note 5 till the recent note 10+. First, what I get is not what you can get on the Samsung galaxy duos. 8GB ram and 256GB rom with a reasonable processor. Certain features like samsung whiz ,samsung dock, Advanced NFC etc cant be packed into a 80k phone. Coupled with its compatibility in any where I find myself accross the globe. Why do people buy BMW 7 series when they can make do with 1992 Honda bullet.. se u get now? |
