Cost
iPhones are generally costly compared to other smartphones. Although the smartphones give good value for money, you may have to part with upwards of Sh100, 000. Currently, the iPhone 12 Pro with 512GB is the most expensive in the series retailing at Sh160,000.

iTunes is one of iPhone’s most prominent feature allowing users to sync files.

In addition to that, it is common for iPhone users to get numerous errors when trying to sync. Synchronization can also fail due to random problems.

Storage
Apps are essential in today’s busy world. iPhones are also prone to numerous updates with the release of every new iOS. These take up a lot of space on the devices. Storage is quite minimal on the devices given that they do not come with a slot for a memory card. This means that you cannot download and store data that you like as often as you wish, and if you do, you may have to frequently delete them to create space for more.
Battery Life
This is not a problem that is unique to iPhone users only. Many smartphone users like to connect to WiFi and use a number of applications throughout the day. However, these apps can drain your smartphone battery quite fast. If the battery is faulty and the iPhone’s warranty is void, no doubt you will not enjoy your experience.
