Your take on buying an expensive phone like iPhone 15

[Victorybit1]

So my take on having an expensive gadget like a phone!!
Why would anyone buy an iPhone 15 or any good phone, costing above 500k, solely to fit in or want to make everyone feel they are rich? The only time I could agree to buy such an expensive phone is when I want to use it for business or to create content that will give me money because of its high camera quality. Otherwise, I can't buy such costly phones. Some people buy these phones due to peer pressure because their other friends have them and they want to too. I would suggest that, if you do get one, utilize it to create content for social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram until you gather a significant audience and become eligible to earn from it.

I understand that some people enjoy luxurious items, which is perfectly fine if they can afford them with their hard-earned money. My concern is why some people go to great lengths to get these expensive phones solely for the sake of fitting in.

[Hewlet]

Apart from some few people that buy expensive phones just to feel among others, most persons you see with expensive iPhones use them mainly for business purposes.

Most content creators don't even bother to get a special camera for their video recording because their phones can perform even more functions than the camera.

Plus you know that buying an iPhone is an asset you can decide to sell out whenever you need urgent cash for something.

If your money is enough to get one, I don't think it's a bad thing.

This would have been a very good topic which would have been narrow it to bitcoin related topic which Brainboss did in the beginners and help Board. This na di thing dem dey tok about. Now if pesen submit thread thread for off topic people go say why? Let me tell guys one thing. There is no topic you want to create dat u no fit narrow it to Bitcoin related matter. And that is were brain work come in. Always think the how to construct topics to bitcoin, Economics and politics which also related to bitcoin. Dis topic like did ehn na very good topic for bitcoin and Merit for sama your head. Like 'Why can't you use the #500k for investment instead of using it for iPhone 15"?. Is it to belong or guy? And if anyone like to buy such phone, e no supposed be your wahala, because na di person money. He has to enjoy his money. Normally life e no supposed hard for the youths.

That is don't rush to create thread but be patient to think and read more. Though it is not compulsory that we must create only bitcoin topics, we are to create threads on politics, Economics, breaking news and etc. And let me tell you again, as a newbie you dey find merit and u have to create threads that will attract merits and not dis type.

For content creation, cameras are better, clearer and have better colourful videos and pictures. I am not disputing the fact that phones can be used for content creation but there are cameras that are more expensive and better.

I understand what you are trying to say but the truth of the matter be say, if you get ×20 to ×50 of the money to take but this luxurious things, madam you self go buy am, so make you no think am say those pipo way get those things no get the money, anyway, some of those people way get those thing try to do the undo them just to get those flashy things way them want.
For the matter of iphone stuffs, I they think am say nah just competitions and nothing more, just like if Mr A see say Mr B done buy the iphone 15, e go turn to challenge to Mr A. Sha for me I go say nah only pipo way done chop belle full nai dey take those things serious, just as you mentioned say content creator, yes nah true, those things good for them because nah watin dey fetch money give them

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Why would anyone buy an iPhone 15 or any good phone, costing above 500k, solely to fit in or want to make everyone feel they are rich?

What do you mean by "why would anyone?" Some people are very capable of buying five iPhones at once. Yeah, that's because they indeed have the money, and it's not really bad what those kinds of people chose to do with their money, and you can't be against them or question how they are spending the money. The reason is because they have built for themselves a plentiful source of income, which is constantly replenishing their pockets and bank accounts with money.

People that should be cautioned  are those common men and women who do not really have any good business; neither do they have their company or any real job that is paying them at least $3k per month. Those are people that should be cautioned for spending so much money to buy the iPhone 15, meanwhile they still have a lot more important things to do with money. For example, they need to establish themselves so well that they will not really be affected if they take out huge amounts of money to spend on luxury.

 

Otherwise, I can't buy such costly phones.

Currently, you might not have a need for it now, but there's a financial stage you'll get to, and you will want to get it. Call it show-off or whatever.

[BIT-BENDER]

Well anyone wey suffer and struggle to make their money has the ultimate right to spend it how they choose to.
I actually don't see any problem with owning an iPhone 15 pro max if you have the ability to buy it.
And don't forget that the iPhone 15 pro max has amazing properties that people can use to boost their business especially for video maker and photographers so it's actually not wasteful, the problem I have is for those people who save up money to buy the phone.

[Justbillywitt]

Everyone is permitted to get what makes their life comfortable. Provided they are not stealing or killing others just to get the money to get those iPhones. Previously I used to say that I can't spend big money in buying iPhone, but a time came when I developed capacity and I had the money and there was need for me to get an iPhone, I got myself the iPhone without stress and when I started using the Phone I saw a big difference between an iPhone and android. You cant criticize what you don't have simply because you can't afford it at the moment. If you are an iPhone user I don't think you will make this post. Poverty has made us think that life is supposed to be managed and not to be enjoyed. Sometimes people buy things for prestige and you can't take that fact away. If you can say thigs what will you say about those buying Lamborghini and other exotic cars and drinks. Let every man live their life according to their means.     

[Mayor of ogba]

Op, from the recent development wey dey for our local board, this your post done follow for the type of post wey they cautioned us not to post just like Mate2237 told you. The post way you create like this is not helpful because buying an iPhone is a personal decision and you cannot tell people not to buy an iPhone 15 if they have the money to buy it. If you have such money and you don't want to buy an iPhone 15 nobody will query you or fight you for not buying an iPhone 15 because it is your life and you also know what you need at that moment. Before you see people buying an iPhone 15, they are not buying it for fun, it will enhance them to be fast in what they are doing.

Thank you for the advice, we learn every day even though I didn't rush to post this one. But I will do better next time. My reason for posting this was because of an incident that happened this evening.
I don't have any wahala with anyone that wants to buy an iPhone 15 or any time of phone. I even stated that in my post that if you like it buy it please.

Well anyone wey suffer and struggle to make their money has the ultimate right to spend it how they choose to.
I actually don't see any problem with owning an iPhone 15 pro max if you have the ability to buy it.
And don't forget that the iPhone 15 pro max has amazing properties that people can use to boost their business especially for video maker and photographers so it's actually not wasteful, the problem I have is for those people who save up money to buy the phone.

You are absolutely correct that's why I said because these phones have great features, it should be use for productive things as well like businesses and other things I mentioned content creating.

where in my statement say it is bad to get an iphone, please read and comprehend first before you reply. Did you not read the part I said if you like to buy that and you have the money ofcourse you can get it. Do you also know that some people are doing a lot of dirty things just to have these phone, not like they want to do something meaningful with but just to show off?

I don't see this topic as a valid one, bro. If you don't want to buy an expensive phone like that, then you should speak for yourself and stop speaking for everyone. You're not in their pocket, OP. So you don't know their net worth, and you should not be concerned about the money people spend on their personal items. What might have been more interesting to talk about would have been the disadvantages of spending on expensive gadgets when you don't have a sustainable business, or some other topics. At least that could be relatable but judging the iPhone 15 users is wrong. Since they have the money to buy an iPhone 15, then I believe they have the means to take good care of themselves, which is not a problem.

[Cryptomultiplier]

I wouldn't really blame anyone to having or opting to have an iphone 15 at this day and age wherein the quality of ones device is in a direct correlation with how much one earns or attracts in terms of hustle.
Even hackers or scammers will not be able to easily dicipher or get hold of ones personal or intricate details, unlike the ease with most Android phones.

Although some people buy an expensive phone just because of fast network, android phones are not fast like iPhone, so most of people are doing to make whatever they are doing with phone quick, if you have money for iPhone and you are using Android that you are not comfortable with network always, na to change am, if there's money that can solve some other problems it is not bad to buy an iPhone, we have different desires and senses, as you mentioned 500k, some people will rather invest the money than to buy an iPhone it's all choices, but the majority people buy an expensive phone just for fashion, others should know they are also rich, but i believe many are buying an expensive phone but not all of them will afford money for subscription.

You really said the fact, most especially this naija ehn, and when they buy it, the phone will not enter pocket again, just to be holding it on the road side. I've been with someone that said he cannot use an android phone again except iPhone, then bought an iPhone of 100k+ but he cannot afford money for subscription, he only active on social media once in a month.  I even advise him not to bought the phone but that is what he wish.

[Makus]

I no be big fan of iPhone sef, talk more of to buy iPhone 15, yo me na waste of money be that because from 11 go up their difference no dey very big, na just small small changes naim dey so, instead of iPhone I prefer Samsung because of their high quality phone screen wey dey display very high video definition, though em sef still get em own for body oo, but instead of me to buy iPhone 15, I go buy Samsung S20 ultra dem carry the remaining one do DCA for Bitcoin. Person wey em hard earn money no reach I no see any reason wey go make person go put hand for something wey nor good.

For me everybody get their choice and wetting you dey talk self I no even no wether na advise or na encourage you dey encourage people to buy iPhone. Because judging from your statement you said.

The only time I could agree to buy such an expensive phone is when I want to use it for business or to create content that will give me money


                                 VS


I understand that some people enjoy luxurious items, which is perfectly fine if they can afford them with their hard-earned money.

For me na just to buy one smart phone wey go give you the interface wey you need naim be am. No be to buy any new phone wey come out because of fashion. Na to invest for Bitcoin naim be my logo. DCAing and nothing More.

[Bitco55]

This topic isn't all that invalid, it's just not related to Bitcoin, that's all. Owning an iPhone 15 would be nice after I've invested the money and then I use the interest in getting the phone. For those who are getting iPhones, it's cause they have the money, but I'm not them and they're not me, making it a personal endeavor.  Whoever wants to fit in must have their reasons. Oppression literally kills, so I won't judge a person even if they're getting it to belong. But where I'd begin to judge a person is when they sacrifice something that's really important just so they can have a few friends. For example, sacrificing your health, or your education.  Whoever can't accept you without a phone shouldn't be your friend. If something bad happens to you after getting the phone they would still insult you saying you're trying to live a fake life and stuff.

Regardless though, an iPhone can also be seen as an asset,  so if you can get one. 

[Promocodeudo]

OP, sincerely a bit against reckless spending, but am not in the position to tell anyone how to spend their money, iPhone has many function, different people with personal reason why the buy this phone, if I have to be sincere with you, the guys that buy this phone are mainly into content creating or similar stuff, I know that is not all, but the situation of this country has made it to be so, I can also dispute that irreversible fact that there some people who purchase this phone for show up purposes but the real thing is, this set of individuals do not hide there character, they do it in such a way that you will surely understand their aim, I want us to know that, is not everyone that has the investment mindset, some people believe that when you make money, you have to enjoy it and another one will come and you can't change them no matter what you do.

[EluguHcman]

This is where it is said... "Cut your coat according to your size".
Living an expensive life is not a bad one if only it is affordable and would not bring limitations to your net worth.
Spending on expensive materials should be considered on the potentials on what it could produce in returns otherwise a fun if only there is a financial surplus.

It would be wise enough if we undernote between Expensive and Reckless spendings.

[gabbie2010]

Instead of buying an Iphone 15 I would rather use the money to invest in Bitcoin, around October last year the price of Bitcoin was around $15K imagine investing the whole lot of that amount of money on Bitcoin now the invested fund would have doubled now that the price of Bitcoin is above $35K, but here in Nigeria everyone wanted to show class especially in social gathering where they tend to display their wealth especially with the latest Iphone, gold chain, expensive cars etc, this is the present mentality of most Nigerians just to display affluence in the streets.

Seriously? How much is 500k if you change it to dollar? I'm not trying to undervalue our naira but in just trying to check something when you called that as a big figure. It's actually to some people but the truth is that we have lost value of our currency. Some few years ago, IPhone 6 was selling for ₦35k but today due to naira increased, it is now around ₦75k, that's almost times two of what we use to buy them.

Concerning the volume of money to buy iPhone, I think we all have what we love, there are people I know that when it come to dresses and fashion, it's zero like their fashion sense is zero but if they hear about a gadget and accessories, they can empty their saving to get it, that's how some people view iPhone. They want to have the latest update and feel what it's to have the latest updated version of new device, so don't blame them for liking what they love.

But there is this mentality Nigerians have, they think that anyone that hold a 3 eye camera iPhone automatically have money, that's a wrong perspective, it is killing the society because everyone now eager to hold iPhone to impress people that they have money but deep down, their account balance has nothing.

[Roseline492]

Perhaps OP we may not really blame those that bought IPhone of 500k because we don't know what they are using it for because there are some kind of business that requires an iPhone that has a good quality camera, because if you are into content creation you will know the need to have an iPhone that has a good quality camera.

Although for me if I don't have a business that require an iPhone I don't think I can use such money to buy a phone on less I have a lot of money were it came from.

[DEAstriker]

Apart from better camera and to use am do content creation and fast network as people dey talk am. I no see any better thing way the Iphone dey do self even now self people way get the Iphone dey won use android because no be all app way the Iphone the get, the one way dey vex me pass na say you go get IPhone 15 of $899 for 256GB. You still dey leave for rented house, your bank account no reach 100k that one na life, because of say make you feel amog the big boys you go dey do waiting go affect you, any body way no get source of income no soppuse think of to get iPhone abi you get money for data? iPhone way everything dey use data na waiting people soppuse to dey reason before them say na iPhone be their problem.

   Peer pressure is one of the reasons why a lot of people buy phones that they don't actually need. Everybody wants to use 3 cameras, without even thinking ahead of possible occurrences like the cost of maintenance and all. Getting an iPhone means having a long lasting power bank and steady internet service it also means being financially capable to make repairs when it's faulty.
   Buying iPhone isn't just about the fanciness. Nigerians should just do away with the thought of iPhone as a very essential assets, get what your pocket can afford to maintain. They all do the same work, if your business demands an iPhone, then get it but be sure to make earnings enough to foot iPhone bills when it arises.

Despite naira has really lose value #500 naira is still a big money, in this hard economy it is very difficult for many people to raise such amount of money. We all know the amount every Nigerian worker earns as allowance,  it is only in the oil sector and politicians who can earn up to this amount as allowance. I think the amount of money use in purchasing this phone as a young person can be used to do something more better that will be more productive.  Using iPhone 15 for fancy and not using it to work to generate money is a waste and I don't think it is the best for young people to be desperate to have it.

[DPHOR]

Buying phone that are expensive is not a crime and some people are phone freak, they are ready to buy phone worth 1 or 2 million not because they want to suits themselves to the class but it gives them joy of using that phone. Same thing equivalent to some people they love buying and changing cars like no tomorrow not because they are changing it for competition but they are doing because they don't like using one car for long and needs a new ride.

Some other may take it as phone that has good camera quality so they decided to buy iphone to have good pictures. While there are others who are delibrately doing it for competitive purposes, whenever I noticed people like this I don't go close to them because they can influence you negatively and intimidates you because you don't have and when they ask for data I don't send to them because I see no reason have 1m as phone and be begging for data.

[Kensure]

Omo see the thing be say if person get money and him feel like him need iPhone or him get use of buying the phone I really don’t see anything bad in it.no he only iPhone be the only expensive phone,oya look at Samsung guy that phone is very expensive the only thing be say na iPhone everybody know.they only saga be say people now don Dey do wetin them no suppose do just to get an iPhone.I remember when the phone come out some delivery guys where killed just because of this same phone.

Wetin me I Dey try talk be say if you get the money to buy my brother buy am cus all the money you Dey make you no Dey make an for person and also before we Dey buy expensive things or luxury make we they weigh our self,we should put things  in hierarchy,we should know our need and want .lastly  if you no get money to buy am ,I advise you get what you can afford no go put your self for competition or try impress people.

[rachael9385]

Apart from better camera and to use am do content creation and fast network as people dey talk am. I no see any better thing way the Iphone dey do self even now self people way get the Iphone dey won use android because no be all app way the Iphone the get, the one way dey vex me pass na say you go get IPhone 15 of $899 for 256GB. You still dey leave for rented house, your bank account no reach 100k that one na life, because of say make you feel amog the big boys you go dey do waiting go affect you, any body way no get source of income no soppuse think of to get iPhone abi you get money for data? iPhone way everything dey use data na waiting people soppuse to dey reason before them say na iPhone be their problem.

Already me and you know say iphone no dey like smartphone in any way because of the kind of functions way em get, the most important part of an iphone be say yiu no go fit do hand flashing and still e dey easy to track Incase anything happens (like if e loss).
Although other smartphones fit do the same thing like that but I believe say the reasons why de phone name na iphone nah because e get some particular functions way android phones them no get.

[adultcrypto]

Most content creators don't even bother to get a special camera for their video recording because their phones can perform even more functions than the camera.

For content creation, cameras are better, clearer and have better colourful videos and pictures. I am not disputing the fact that phones can be used for content creation but there are cameras that are more expensive and better.

You have said it as it should be. Personally, I'm not against buying expensive phone but what I find funny is people who do not have stable income or standard investment that generate them good money, holding millions of Naira as phone and holding same just for ego and not that it is used for anything serious. Many of those using these big phones are using same to show that they belong to their so called class. You need to see them carry these phones like a major achievement.

I like good things but I use my head. I can't be holding a phone worth a plot of land in the city when I don't have a house yet... to me that's misplaced priority.

[DaNNy001]

Perhaps OP we may not really blame those that bought IPhone of 500k because we don't know what they are using it for because there are some kind of business that requires an iPhone that has a good quality camera, because if you are into content creation you will know the need to have an iPhone that has a good quality camera.

Although for me if I don't have a business that require an iPhone I don't think I can use such money to buy a phone on less I have a lot of money were it came from.

That's very correct because I have a cousin sister who was really upset with getting an iphone and she was going crazy just to get her fingers on one but we all didn't know her purpose so I asked her one day that if I get her the phone what will she use it for ? She answered for business purpose obviously and I asked what business do you want to do that you cant do with every other smart phone but she later explained she is into make up and cosmetics and in their filled of business packaging and design is what catches the eye and attract other users.  The iphone was to give her works a certain image quality that would make it look even outstanding and attract more customer and the idea was acceptable by me because where you get your daily bread, you don't joke with it.

[Jamestown70]

well I do not fancy the use of iphones I prefer Samsung to iphones but you see in this life everyone has his or her preference what is good for you may seem bad to others which is normal, sometimes the reason why we kick against things like this is simply because we can't afford it or maintain the live style not that we do not admire it o we definitely admire it but we can't simple afford it that's just the truth, so many people saying I don't like iphones or I can't dish out 500k or 1m to purchase a gadget will do more if only they are saddled with the available resources again some people have high taste for quality things not minding the cost of having it so I see no big deal in speaking against those person's using an Iphone.

[AYOBA]

So my take on having an expensive gadget like a phone!!
Why would anyone buy an iPhone 15 or any good phone, costing above 500k, solely to fit in or want to make everyone feel they are rich? The only time I could agree to buy such an expensive phone is when I want to use it for business or to create content that will give me money because of its high camera quality. Otherwise, I can't buy such costly phones. Some people buy these phones due to peer pressure because their other friends have them and they want to too. I would suggest that, if you do get one, utilize it to create content for social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram until you gather a significant audience and become eligible to earn from it.

I don't blame those who spend a lot of money to buy an iPhone because that is not what some people are thinking. We all understand that some people are buying the iPhone just for function, whereby some are buying it because of the quality camera, and some are buying it because they see their friends using an iPhone15 and they know they will be able to use it if they buy like their friends.

I understand that some people enjoy luxurious items, which is perfectly fine if they can afford them with their hard-earned money. My concern is why some people go to great lengths to get these expensive phones solely for the sake of fitting in.

People are thinking that is the only iPhone that's more expensive and isn't the only one that is expensive or they've forgotten that Samsung is also extremely expensive. Stated differently, if to say we can compare them how much is even 500k according to dollars now? When someone purchases expensive items, it indicates that what he already owns will only make up ×5 of what he purchases. Guys of today don know a way of earned money true online so not everyone are just hold smart phone for nothing.

If not to meet up with post count, I don't know why user will respond to this question.

Soon we'd start to see topics like
* What's the difference between living in a bungalow and a duplex?
* Should I buy a German shepherd or  a Rottweiler?
* Should I buy a private jet or a plot of land in Banana island?
* Where can I buy the best yam in Nigeria?
*Samsung vs iphone, which should I buy?

Abeg na...make una refrain from these kind of topics. You must not create a topic. You can reply to the ones already created by other people. These are low quality topics that doesn't or shouldn't even fit in here.

You don’t like how much phones cost because you don’t have money to buy them at that price, not because you want to do business or some other things that you want to do, and they need financial support to get them done. However, the people you see with those types of phones have already acquired what you are talking about; they are very rich people; they have money to buy those types of phones 10X; they worth more than N1 billion, so for them to remove 500K is nothing for them. So just agree that you don’t like how much those phones cost because you don’t have money to buy them. Those people are not buying those phones to make more money; they already have the money; they only buy those things for fashion.

My concern is why some people go to great lengths to get these expensive phones solely for the sake of fitting in.

It's because you don't have the money to buy them; if you do, you will also buy them.

Years back if I see person wey de use a very expensive phone, car or jewelry, I go de reason say dat person na fool to de waste money on dos very expensive things. I go feel say di person fit to spend far lesser money on a similar product, wey get similar features for a lesser amount. I go just de worry worry mysef for the money wey no be my own.

But now na im I come understand say different levels de for money matter, some people get di kind money wey be say if no be di very best and most expensive things wey money fit buy, dem no fit go for am, because money no be problem. We de worry to economize money so we go fit save and invest, but some people investments for dis life de give dem returns wey you no ever fit to imagine. If person de get income of millions everyday, any model of iPhone or cars, even private jets no go be anything to dem.

But where foolishness follow am be if person wey de struggle to make ends meet, come buy dat kind gadget wey im business no mandate am, na poverty go later be di person name.

Well anyone wey suffer and struggle to make their money has the ultimate right to spend it how they choose to.
I actually don't see any problem with owning an iPhone 15 pro max if you have the ability to buy it.
And don't forget that the iPhone 15 pro max has amazing properties that people can use to boost their business especially for video maker and photographers so it's actually not wasteful, the problem I have is for those people who save up money to buy the phone.

Well my brother, i can't buy iphone 15 pro max with the money i sweat or suffer for unless i have like 10 times of the money in my account,as for me and just me ooo if i have the money to buy iphone 15 pro max now i will rather invest some of the money and put some in other businesses,then after making it from the investment or business,then i will now go for the iphone 15 promax.

See to buy expensive phones or other expensive things like clothes and other stuffs no be really bad thing, to an extent though. Like person already talk here, if you get the money to buy am, then buy, nobody wey no deserve to use better phone or wear luxurious clothes. Make poverty no make anybody feel like say expensive things dey bad just because say the money never dey, because I know say if person bring iPhone 15 and Infinix Smart 7 come give you make you take one for dash, you go jejely collect the iPhone 15 for sure, so no be bad thing to buy expensive stuffs for yourself.

Where e come bad nah when you know say you no get money, you come go carry your last card wey you supposed used run small investment wey go dey bring you money, you come carry am go buy iPhone, then that one na e be mumu. I know person wey be say em papa die, them come give am land as part of the things him inherit from en papa, the guy go sell the land, use am buy car, this car no be say nah for commercial purpose self, for personal use. That one no follow nah. Na when the matter enter these sides na e go come make am bad, instead, ordinarily e no bad to use expensive stuffs.

I do think , this can be viewed from different stand point, first, what is the buyers financial status, there some person who do not see 500k as anything, so it depends on individual's financial strength and what use the phone is to them, anyone buying to please people has the wrong motive and nothing but a waste of reaources

[Benedictare]

 I think everyone has a reason for getting what they want and that should not be a problem since he or she can afford it, as long as it is not stolen that has to gather crowd or bring disgrace to the family members , that will be very bad,in that aspects we can confidently be discussing than.
 
Buying  iPhone as long  as the person is comfortable with it and not disturbing,that should not be your problem neither be jealous  because this life is turn by turn in terms of being wealthy when it is your turn spend it as you which .wanting to know why somebody is using an expensive phone is not a good idea, it shows intruding into one's personal life.

There is this saying that goes another person poison is another person daily food. What you see as waste of money is what another person see as happy life and so long there is money to live that life, I don't see any problem with it.

In year 2000, when you have car and you don't have a house of your own, people see that as wrong financial plan because they think you need a roof before a car but today, things have changed. With ₦5M, you can have a a car but that amount cannot give you a good house, that has evolved and has changed people mindset. Furthermore, people need to stop pointing progress to bitcoin alone, there are other investment that people enjoy lucratively outside here that are very great return of investment.

But where foolishness follow am be if person wey de struggle to make ends meet, come buy dat kind gadget wey im business no mandate am, na poverty go later be di person name.

Poor men love show off, always trying to prove what they are not and that's why you often see then run after iPhone with cameras. Like I don't get who they are trying to impress, in ordinary conversations they turn the back of the phone just so that people will notice them.

I dey your back broda, I don't see anything wrong with a person buy iPhone 15 Promax, if the person is capable of buying it that's fine, some people like an expensive thing's around them and as far the person have money I don't think I have problem with it, iPhone is a very good and smart phone that everybody will like to have it, but the main thing that I like in it most is the camera, many people who are content creator today don't stress their self by looking for a camera before doing their videos, they use the phone to do the video.

The only people who I see their fault in buying iPhone 15 is those who are not rich from their family and not having a good needs for their self and they went and buy iPhone, you will see many guy's today that their parents are feeding them is holding iPhone of 300k because of fashion, instead of buying the phone why can't them go and use the money to start a business that will change their lives? We nowadays kids we like to put ourselves in where we haven't reach and that also make us stop those who want to help us to help us.

Gbam, my brother na the Koko wey you just yan so, nothing pain me pass when I see, person wey no fit eat food correct 2 times a day, wey after em just get am clear, e go just carry all the money go buy iPhone 14, at that moment em don forget about all the times wey e dey suffer and all the times wey e go talk say " if money enter my hand I go use am do business " all those things go just flash for em head for that moment just because em friend dey use iPhone 14. Den las las after everything e go come broke back na that time e go come dey find wey to sell the phone to buy smaller one make e for use the remaining money take feed, some person no dey calculate at all for this life. And this luxurious lifestyle na wattin dey bring about EFCC embarrassment for our youth of nowadays even if na legit ways dem take dey get their money. I no talk say make person no live life the way e want oo, but at least when the money come make you no forget to make investment wey go fit sustain you for hard times even if no be bitcoin investment.

According to your topic it seems like a question " Your take on buying an expensive phone like iPhone 15? . So base on my own belief getting an IPhone 15 is not bad and you called it being expensive, it's not even expensive but just say na the money wey we no get Sha 😅.
No any person in this life who doesn't want to live top notch and use the latest gadgets if a person have what it takes to get it for him/her self then why should anything stop the person from getting it. I have always dreamt of living a luxurious life and call it being classic with expensive stuffs, my clothing, food, watches and even my gadgets, I see this life as living in it only one's and nothing more, no other life again where we can have all this material stuffs in it.

Now some people has made it a criteria for themselves, doing such despicable things all as a means of getting the latest iPhone 15 or some even gets the money in a good way but are not yet financially stable to buy such instead of them taking the money they gathered to start a business or invest in Bitcoin they rather get the phone and do show offs, this is where it all becomes wrong and not advisable.
