Ha!

people are down voting me because their small minds think it is an iPhone vs. Android talk

I live here in Nigeria. You would be hard pressed to find iPhones. Many people in the UK/US are surprised to learn that we buy our phones full price. ZERO monthly payments.

As a result, people will buy what they can afford. You can find a lot of very functional sub $100 Android phones. Even Windows phones have a better penetration because of cost.

If this is a product targeted at the West, I would not have commented but this is called Malawi App for a reason.

It is not about poor people deserving poor devices as @mamcx has suggested but people going to buy what they can afford.

If you can reach 5X the number of people with the same amount of buying iphones and the disadvantage is obviously (if any) is not 5X, it is not a clear decision?
