And what exactly can an iPhone do that other phones can’t?

I have already posted…ama unataka nirudie?

@kipuke

Reminds me of the windows vs Linux wars. Iphone may be secure from external attacks, but it’s just like a prison. Those inside are tightly controlled. Those outside, well, cannot penetrate into it. Prison.

How many people do you think are after customizing ROMs, sideloading apps and unlocking bootloaders?

Of those three, at least android lets users have the option of sideloading without any loss. Some even unlocking the bootloader and even using the rom you fancy. Being given options - even if you won’t use them, shows you are being taken as a responsible adult who can manage your freedoms without supervision. You are not in prison. Iphone.

Expensive for Nothing

[Nyamgondho]

Naona watu wana-hate on iphone yet some android phones are more expensive and they don’t criticize them.

I am not an iPhone person and I hate the Apple ecosystem so much that I can pay double the price just to get a nice android phone.

But I still respect what they have been able to achieve.

@Nyamgondho, when you have time just take a stroll to xda developers. Just to check it out.

[johnpombe]

Memory 4GB RAM 128GB

Hiyo jela ni kali. Halafu there is the right-to-repair movement that some folk live for.

Apple is a marketing company… not a phone manufacturer

Just like Coca Cola.

OnePlus 9 is really good, a Flagship, and a unique souvenir!

OnePlus 9 and 9 pro naona hii mwaka walituangusha. Over promising with the hasselblad tech was not a good move

@Nyamgondho

There are things the iphone can achieve that other phones cannot.

But 99% of buyers do not need those features and would still enjoy using a 30K phone. If they wanted.

Problem is that this phone is used to demonstrate class especially in kenya.

Kenyan retailers wanauza iphone 11 at higher price than iphone 13 majuu. This people are shit AF

@Aquilani44

IPhone sells the brand, nothing less. It’s all about making money so if you want to keep the Apple engine running, buy their products. And just how foolish do they think people are? Selling phones now in smaller boxes with no charges "to reduce the carbon footprint " yet sell you a charger separately. Makes sense? And just think about their eco system, everything is a monopoly system. Hell even their Bluetooth is proprietary. It’s all about showing off, oh I have an expensive phone, an iPhone. so no it’s not worth it.

Remove the charger but give usb cable ndio they maintain their proprietary port instead of changing to USB type c.
Iphone 14 series sasa wataweka USB type c halafu wafanye kama major upgrade. Hata ipad mini 6 waliweka type c. Why not the phone
Hii upuzi ya apple ya kudelay uptake of well established tech is just nonsense. I mean, why didn’t they put high refresh rate screen on iphone 13 standard and the mini. Which aren’t cheap btw.

In my opinion, there are only two options here: iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Pro Max. I do not recommend taking the mini version of the novelty under any circumstances, because it is a very small phone that will be inconvenient to use. No, of course, if you buy to call, then he will fulfill this role perfectly. But then why pay such money for a smartphone? Buy something simpler. Do not buy a used phone because it may be that [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]iPhone 13 Locked to owner.
