Blaqbeauty, you're speaking out of ignorance.


OP, prior to when I got my iPhone5c by late June 2014, I used to be a blackberry fan boy.

There's nothing you would say to me to convince me an iPhone is better than a blackberry! Nothing o!

But since I got this device, I've been rolling. wink

Na battery life? E dey!
Processor speed? E dey!
Picture quality? E dey!
Music delivery (sound effects and all)? E dey!
Swag? E too plenty! grin

+ it's super easy to operate.
Anyone that can't use an iOS device is simply dull. Ultra, uber, super dull! undecided

Upgrading from any device you currently make use of to iOS, is like upgrading from driving a Keke(tricycle) to cruising in a gold plated Bugatti Veyron! (Yes I said it! Quote me anywhere)




[size=20pt]iOS is King cool

***edited


I have the whole Wikipedia offline. Which android device can handle that? undecided


Yea i've got All of wiki(offline) from App store but got it for 32.99 Dirhams it isn't free smiley

I just got an iPhone 6+ as a gift. Compared with my note 3, the phone is simply nauseating! Customization is zero, transferring files between other phones is almost impossible, and there're restrictions here and there! But for poise and picture quality, I don't see anything special in iPhone. The phone is grossly overpriced and overhyped! Now some guys have mentioned how they're practically using the phone as the androids, if I may ask, how are they squeezing water from the stone? I wish to explore if truly possible. Thanks.

I intend purchasing an Iphone, preferably 5s. I would like to ask Nairalanders who own, owned an Iphone or any Apple device to please give me a run down of how an Apple device work in a Nigerian environment.

Does network capability/signal matter a lot?

To fully utilize the features and functions in it,does it ALWAYS require internet connection?

The battery strength? ( 5s owners are more needed here)

Read and heard about its limitations such as Bluetooth pairing with non-Apple devices. Does it allow for a Bluetooth pairing with say, HTC_ONE_M8?

What about WIFI, HOTSPOT? Tethers with a non-mac computer, Android devices?

The OS, how user friendly? Are most of the apps PAID FOR/BOUGHT? I know it has less free apps compared to Android, but will everything be buy buy buy. For instance a basic app like Whatsapp was at a point under the paid app category.

I currently use the HTC ONE M8, not leaving Android in the near future, but would love to use the Iphone 'cos of




* The design. One of the most beautiful phones I have ever seen. A reason I got the HTC.

* The exclusivity of it, rarely seen. It is a statement . Just like the HTC too.

* To enjoy and have a feel of the IOS. and many more.


Ironically, I was one of Apple biggest haters grin, criticised the price, prison-like limitations, warranty status { Slot is not helping matters}. And which network is more suitable for it? LTE things.


I would appreciate positive comments and constructive criticisms.
never used an iPhone (so I can't tottaly judge it)performance is great(obviously it should be coz the 5s to 6 and 6+ are all premium devices) but I feel lyk most on this thread aren't comparing what you get with high end android devices instead using midrange to low end techno device.since u seem interested in the 5s which should be cheaper than the iPhone 6 then the best android competition would be xperia z2 or z3 and/or the z compact.u'll get a premium build with these phones also but they also come with better battery life than the 5s,bigger screens,and waterproofing(if u're into that kind of thing).they also have that wow factor u need and are either receiving lollipop update or close to receiving it.iOS pros are faster updates and thanks to their closed ecosystem and less devices for developers to optimize for they also get some apps first although the gap with android has greatly been reduced in the past few years to almost nothing. cons are the closed system. also make it harder to share files.although jailbreaking can solve this u first stand the risk of bricking ur absolutely expensive device and apple usually cancel these jailbreaks extremely regularly e.g if u jailbroke at iOS 8.0 a month later 8.1 might come out and will canceled that exploit and on on on it will go with 8.2 8.3 and if u choose to not update Apple usually forces developers to release apps and games with the latest iOS version unlike android were most apps are released with support for ICS(2011 or 2012 for its release date I think)and above.another con is Apple tend to give u enough in some aspects but not the best eg 300ppi retina screen were most droids are past the 400ppi mark and now even 500ppi.apple sticks with 8mp camera,its great but the 20mp camera of these xperias and other flagship droids can capture more details and shoot 4k videos.in the end if u buy an iPhone 5s apart from some minor iOS restrictions u won't regret it,but for the same price u can probably get more for ur money and these xperia devices will definitely do that along with that premium wow factor
