....let me also add to be fair and just, I used three different models of blackberry, I started on Samsung with Note2, then 4 and 7. In computers ive used Sony VAIO, HP pc, Dell pc, an HP tablet, a Samsung tablet, a Mac Pro, a Mac Air.

If you have the money to accessorize and acquire a product system, I will recommend everything in Samsung System for people in Corporate environment. That is phone, pc, tv, sound system...all tied together as a system. Your income is based on your performance and efficiency, Samsung will not let you down.

If you are in the entertainment or marketing class, like events planning, advert and marketing, film and music production, online social media, real estate.....and you have money to invest, please please get you an Apple System soon as you can afford to. You can even buy one product at a time and add on to build your system. Iphone says a lot about you before your client....before you have even opened your mouth. It's the Mercedes of PDAs (personal directory assistance). If you show up to show a property and you sit your mac and iphone on the table your client must notice it. Iphone is made to be noticed, not ignored.
Mac can last decades.

My mac air is mid-2012 and still rocking like new, except few dents from a accidental drop. The thing is slick and you have to clutch it or it will slip through your grip and hit the ground. Pick it up and it works like nothing happened.

Sunmary -
Accountant, Lawyer, Project Manager, Engineer, Contractor, Telecomms Professional, Oil Prospector...and so on...stay away from Apple.


Real Estate Manager, Event Planner, Marketer, Product Manager, Paparazzi, Beautician, Social Media Consultant, Influencer, Film and Music Producer.....get Apple.

boy16:



seriously I had no choice because iPhone is really boring with less flexibility and Samsung has better camera and functionality compared to IPhones.


IPhones are overrated.

LeonMacJames:


Lol, I'd like to think that you use an Apple product, If not you should be the one to sharrap, I have tested, researched and found out that Airdrop is just apples own mascot to Bluetooth and WLAN, Airdrop requires bluetooth or WLAN to function...

They named it Airdrop and restricted connectivity to just Apple devices for obvious reasons.

Why do android users badmouth iPhone users so much?
I really don’t get it . I’ve used more than one android phone before nd I wasn’t going around badmouthing iPhone users all that time.
Do android users gain something from badmouthing iPhone nd it’s users ?
Someone said it’s out of jealousy. Is that true?

BabaRamota1980:


Apple has a lot of cases in court for proprietary violations. They also have claims against others for trade infringements.

This is common for manufacturers and marketers to go to market with expectations of high ROI on products they know to be highly contentious. Its s rat race.

LeonMacJames:

This scenario is just both ways...

It's called Fanboyism.
If they can't afford it they look for a stupid reason condemn it.
And some apple users can't afford to use android or windows hence they look for their own reason to condemn it...

Please be informed .
My phone could connect to the computer with my USB chord. But I will have to search every nook and cranny of the phone before I find the files . It would have been easier to find if they were pictures.
I wanted to save time and save myself unnecessary headache .So ...You don’t have a point there .
Then about playing songs through Xender thing . You got a problem with that
That person simply didn’t have money to buy songs from iTunes or Apple Music . Which would have downloaded into the contemporary music player on this phone .
So he opted for a free alternative.
Again you don’t have a point there too .
But I must commend your respect for my “choice” . Thanks

BabaRamota1980:


As you can see there, the OP felt insulted by the treatment. I cannot address that or his state of mind but I can help clear air about the pros and cons of each of the product lines, based on my own experience across the platforms.

abbey621:
My Samsung Note 9 fully modded beats any iPhone interms of productivity and raw speed

BabaRamota1980:


Samsung manufactures the components in iphone.

BabaRamota1980:


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.

BabaRamota1980:


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.

BabaRamota1980:

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!

ridbell01:
eeeeh mean i will buy phone,buy airtime and buy music again?..i have been using android since 2012 when they were rushing BlackBerry then..i don't have any reason to switch to iPhone

texazzpete:
99% of the time, it's because of envy since they can't afford Apple products.

Also a lack of exposure.

texazzpete:


Your Note 9 is nowhere near as powerful as an iPhone XS.








Samsung makes a few parts of the iPhone. The display, for one, but that is made according to Apple's specifications and - according to Displaymate - is the best in the world (iPhone XS).
Samsung doesn't make the iPhone Chipset.




i/o is much easier with Android, but it's not really a deal-breaker for iOS. As the OP notes, he could just as well have emailed the file to the operator. That's often much safer and easier than hooking up your phone to the computer and rooting around the filesystem.

Most modern printers are wireless these days, and iOS supports wireless print via bluetooth or wifi.
The vast majority of people don't use HDMI-out or use projectors with their phones. I certainly can't imagine a scenario where i'd want to use any of my Android phones with a projector.
I use Google Cast from my iPhone to send stuff to my TV sometimes. works perfectly.




YourPhone is a good app, and definitely a plus for Android and Windows 10 users. For mac users, the value proposition for Android is diminished.



All of these can be done just as easily on an iPhone. I can think of no reason why there should be any difficulty in pulling these off. Not sure why you think these are harder to pull off in Naija.

Sharrap there

Airdrop is airdrop and Bluetooth is Bluetooth

BabaRamota1980:


I believe these perceptions matter a lot depending on the environment one is in.

It wouldnt matter i suppose, in US or Europe or Japan, which one you use. You can walk into a shop and pay small amount to get a part replaced or buy a new accessory for your iphone.

Compare with a person living in Kotangora with iphone. Where in Kotangora can i find a Apple dealer for an accessory, and at affordable price?

Even in Lagos, the biggest markets, what guarantees do you have the thunderbolt cable you bought is OEM? If you discover it not to be you do not enjoy the luxury of merchandise return agreements that iphone users in America have.

Im sure in Texas you can return your product and get money back if you are not satisfied. Try that in Lagos.

So to a great degree the pushback and rejection of apple in Nigeria is connected with spending and availability.

teewhydope:


you're both ignorant. airdrop is a combo of Bluetooth and wifi

texazzpete:


Your Note 9 is nowhere near as powerful as an iPhone XS.

Simonrom:


And that makes airdrop bluetooth?

LeonMacJames:
It makes bluetooth an Apple feature, which is totally wrong.

LeonMacJames:


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

iPhone 6 is 56K. Not exactly for the rich now, is it?

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 ?

tumababa:
dont stress yourself. its done even in the USA. Android users will always badmouth iphone users.
even android phone makers badmouth iphone users not to talk of the android buyers.

abbey621:


It's more powerful than the XS and XS Max because it is modded, fully unclocked. When you fully unclock an android like the Note/Galaxy series, there's no way an iPhone can compete with it. This is the advantage of Android over the iOS ecosystem, this is the reason serious gamers/I.T freaks rarely use iphones professionally.

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.

GRACEGLORY:



Quoting your haters as stated above:
Just because you wanto oppress people with it, that’s why you bought it .
They might not be able to afford one.

The rate at which Android phones are resold after a couple of weeks is now alarming, and I've discovered it's not so with the Apple products, as a matter of fact, most Apple users looks forward to the next edition. And Apple isn't competing she's got her own pace.


Apple is Unique and has a stronger security, and even more effective finger print.

And the power of choice either for Android or iOS lies in our Psyche
