The unending social issue iPhones versus Androids
<p>Okay, let’s be real: an iPhone in Nigeria is not just a phone it’s a personality trait. Someone can own the tiniest iPhone 6, with a cracked screen that looks like it’s been through Boko Haram, and still walk around like they’re Tim Cook’s prodigal child. Meanwhile, you with your shiny Samsung S23 Ultra will still hear, “But it’s not iPhone sha.”</p><p>Why? Because the Apple logo isn’t just branding it’s social currency. That little bitten fruit is basically the Gucci belt of gadgets.</p><p>Here’s the irony though: Androids can actually do more. They have expandable storage, dual SIMs, 200MP cameras that can see the future. But if you post on WhatsApp with an Android, your video looks like it was filmed on CCTV in 2009. Post the same thing with an iPhone and suddenly you’re a cinematographer with Netflix potential 🎥✨.</p><p>Sociologically, this isn’t just tech talk it’s class talk. Phones become status symbols, a way of showing where you stand on the invisible ladder of prestige. It’s not megapixels people are buying, it’s validation.</p><p>So next time you see someone flexing with an iPhone, don’t be mad. They’re not just holding a device—they’re holding a whole social identity.</p>
