iPhone has value. It is very rugged and durable. Any day I have enough money to get a Samsung phone and an iPhone, I will get an iPhone. I am not saying iPhone is the best brand of smart phones. But I know iPhone truly has value. iPhone is the most rugged brand of smart phones. With severely crack screen, it can still work. iPhone 7 and later versions of iPhone are water and dust resistant. Android is more vulnerable to virus and hack. Apart from Samsung, no other brand of phone has OS and camera quality that can challenge iPhone. Counter these points with facts, if you claim iPhone has no value. Those who claim iPhone is overhyped are either ignorant of iPhone features or those people are indirectly expressing jealousy for iPhone owners. It is true that most Nigerians who use iPhone choose the brand just to brag, they don't need and cannot utilize up to 60% of iPhone features. Yet they buy iPhones just for show off. But it doesn't mean iPhone is not wonderful. The only reason I don't have iPhone now is because I don't want iPhone as my only phone and I cannot afford two quality phones now. iPhone is very expensive to acquire and maintain. This is why many iPhone users in Nigeria use Android charger (many of you call it charger head) for their iPhones. Some of them can't even buy Apple USB cable (many of you know it as Apple Chord). They always borrow the cable or try to steal the cable. Most of those Nigerians can't even afford to pay for Apple music. Most of them use Oraimo headphones for the iPhones Oraimo is not bad but combining it with iPhone is like using Toyota rim for Benz. I, as a guy that is yet to be rich, don't want iPhone as my only phone because of my environment and what I do with my smart phone. I don't have an Apple laptop for quick and smooth sharing of files between an iPhone and my laptop. My laptop is Windows. Snapdrop for iOS and Android does not work as well as airdrop for iOS and iOS. And I cannot afford to use internet data (subscription) for everything. Otherwise, I would have bought an iPhone and use cloud storage space to share files between my Windows laptop and my iPhone. Also most of the people around me use Windows and Android and I constantly share files with those people. This is why I have been using Samsung for years. I have bought at least 3 different Samsung phones for myself. The last one I got cost almost 300k and I know I can use less than that amount to get a used iPhone 12. If I want iPhone as my only phone, I could have gotten one already. 263 Likes 21 Shares |

If you want to buy iPhone no problem, iPhones are of good quality and premium built, but ensure you don't buy any model below iphone X, other models are too old and out of trend. The only reason i like iPhone is the camera. everything other things seems too rigid and limited especially when you are coming from android, if you can consider samsung galaxy A52/A52s, a very nice phone. 44 Likes 7 Shares |

immortalcrown:I rather say iphone is a phone with good quality than value, because once you buy it, it becomes a liability and its worth depreciate with time. 169 Likes 10 Shares |
Re: Does It Make Sense Buying An Iphone by immortalcrown(m): 11:03pm On Oct 25, 2022 |
ngBuild:You are just beating around the bush. Is having a good quality not having value? Okay, define the word, "value" to show that something can have a good quality without having a value. Talking about depreciation, must something be permanent before it can have value? Having value does not mean being immortal. 28 Likes 2 Shares |

immortalcrown: I agree with everything you've said, except for the part where you mentioned that iPhone users are always looking to borrow or steal Android phones USB cords. iPhones do not use USB C, and Android phones can't use iPhones lightening cable. I'm wondering how your claim is possible. 51 Likes 1 Share |

tecnolad:I never mentioned USB C anywhere in my post. I said Apple USB cable. Read it again. Doesn't iPhone have USB cable? You people wrongly call cable charger. Many iPhone users in Nigeria combine Apple USB cable and Android charger to charge iPhone. Is it because I didn't say charger head? Okay, that thing you call charger head is what I am talking about. Many Nigerians that own iPhone use Android charge head to charge their iPhones. 38 Likes 3 Shares |

He\she thinks that the only Android phones are itel, infinix, Tecno and Xaiomi, he forgot that Samsung ultra series are very expensive, Samsung fold series are also very expensive, OnePlus and some many other high-end Android phones are in the market. 28 Likes 5 Shares |

Apple sells an ecosystem. You own an iphone, a MacBook pro, an apple watch, airpods pro and maybe an ipad. When you own these devices and all connected to the same icloud account, you would understand the beauty of the ecosystem. Android and Windows PC users will never understand how an ecosystem works until they experience it. People who say apple devices don’t have value possibly dont know what value means or have no idea about how productivity can be increased if all your devices belong to an ecosystem. You take a picture on your phone and it is available on your pc. Or you are working on a document on your ipad and it is there on your phone. Or you are listening to music on your laptop via your airpods, you pick stand up to go outside to buy eggs and the music continues via your Apple Watch to stream into your airpods. Your messages come to all devices. Then you have full device tracking prevention plus the best privacy any system can offer for free. Many years ago, before I understood the apple ecosystem, i always yabbed apple too. Until i got my first iphone and I noticed that it was not obtrusive, then i got a MacBook pro and i saw the light. It was a rude awakening. There is a reason why most prodictive-minded people currently use Apple. For over 10 years, intel stagnated on processor design, just repolishing same specs, albeit increasing efficiency. Apple left old intel at the car park and went to develop their own silicon and revolutionized the industry with the M1 chip. Apple is in its own corner. Hate all you want.

immortalcrown:Something is not right here, which samsung? which iphone? if you're talking about their flagships then Huawei will outperform samsung in many if not most camera tests. No point comparing OS since they're both android. Customization is a thing of choice. 2 Likes |
