Apple considers Africans as dogs

left over food cannot go to waste, you can have it.

Did you know that, Apple has no interest selling iPhone to Africa.

Authorised Apple dealers in Kenya could only stock; Mac, IPad and iPod but not iPhone(officially).

99.9% of people with Iphones in Kenya are using Mtumba phones. Even brand new ones have to be opened and unlocked

See, every year, around Feb/April, Apple releases a new version of the iPhone - currently at iPhone 14, plus, pro and Promax

iPhone is a cult in the US and as such there are fans who just want the latest model even when they have used their current phone for hardly a year. So Apple at al have a trade-in program where one brings their old iPhone and they qualify a discount on the latest model.

These Trade-in are then repaired, new cases put, ports opening given a blow to annihilate any dust and dirt.

Now most iPhone are mostly locked to a network like Verizon for example. The same way when you buy a phone at safaricom shop it’s locked to only work with safaricom.

The Tradein Iphones are also now Unlocked to work with any network in the US or abroad.

These iPhones are sold as Renewed (to mean good as new, but not new) just like second hand laptops are called refurbished.

Apple in a marketing strategy meant to keep the US consumers hooked on the next iPhone refuses to sell iPhones directly to Africa as in which case their second hand market would greatly diminish if Africa gets an option to buy a new iPhone.

In this regard therefore, owning an iPhone in Africa is nothing to be proud of, it just puts one on the second or third tier of the Apple food chain.

It’s like keeping a mongrel dog for no other reason other than having it so left over foods do not go to waste.

Nilikua nashangaa hii kizungu haiwezi kua yako. Nimefika hapo katikati nikarudi kuconfirm username. at least you have credited the source.

Apple phones cost a lot to maintain… you don’t know it until you have to buy a basic app for 5k ni kama inakuja na mbuzi kando.

:D:D:D:D:D

The phones were so much better when Jobs was still alive.

The people that don’t have them nor use them are not missing much. I nowadays prefer Samsung.

Wivu itawaua vijana. Mjikakamue na sabuni na maybe siku moja mtanunua iPhone

Umedunga. Ukanusa. Ukaona.

I’ve owned an iPhone since the 4th generation. There’s no novelty in it. Jipe shughuli.

If owning an iPhone or buying one is what you consider an achievement, work harder. Make bank.

So amaizing

Africans are monkeys. Not my opinion but the general opinion of the other races

It’s not just iPhones. Nothing that is made in America is meant for the African market. Hata Google yenyewe ni shida tupu. For instance, why can’t we watch Google TV, of all things?

California’s GDP was US$2.798 trillion in 2017, which is bigger than the combined GDP of 54 African countries ($2.24 trillion).
Nothing personal, just business

Tecno , infinix and itel are made for you African , mtosheke nayo

:smiley: mimi sisumbui mkuu ata nimekaa kitako kwa floor

Hapana lamba Rasa ya mahomo San Francisco, all that shiiet is made in China, which has better stuff anyway…Wait till we replace that useless greenback tutanao hiyo GDP kaa haitakua rebased ishuke

iPhone ni Takataka Status Symbol

Locked Bootloaders
Non Compatible Bluetooth
Special Data Cable
No 3rd Party Apps
Costly Repairs

iPhone Vs Samsung/ Huawei is just like LandCruiser Vs Range Rover. LandCruiser beats Range Rover 99 out of 100 times.

Acha wivu low IQ bonobo, fanya kazi kwa bidii and you’ll move from Nokia for your no iq bonobo

We don’t use dollars! Our GDP was over KES 3 trillion. We don’t use dollars to buy tomatoes

If California was a country, it would be the 8th richest country in the world, eclipsing some European countries. They are big in entertainment. Additionally, Google, Apple, Oracle, PayPal zote ziko California… And they pay taxes.

Kobe alisema kwa interview when he was earning at peak $22m per season, he would end up with less than half after taxes. That also explains why they get so much. They tax like crazy

Kizungu na ubongo. He cannot reason that hard
