My MTN contract is due for upgrade and I'm looking to get something a bit different this year.
I'm pretty invested in the Apple Ecosystem (iPhone 8 Plus, Apple Watch 3, Macbook Pro, Apple TV) so it is a bit difficult to imagine using something else at the moment, so advice is needed. I have been using iPhones for the last 3-4 years.
I am stuck between choosing which phone to get.
Note 9
S9 Plus
The new Huawei Mate 20 (to be released)
The new iPhones (to be released)
LG G7??
Something cheaper (Nokia 7 Plus, P20 Lite??)
My feeling so far is this, an Apple is an Apple, so if I get the new iPhone, iOS will still be iOS, and my "experience" wont be much different besides some new hardware features.
Then on the other hand I feel that it will be a waste to have 2 phones (I'm not looking to sell the iPhone because of ecosystem) which will offer more or less the same experience.
MTN has a nice deal with the S9 Plus where you get the Gear Fit2 with the phones (I like wearables, hence the Apple Watch)
The Note 9 seems nice due to the battery, but Ill probably wont even use half of its features (SPen etc)
Huawei's are nice but I have read about inconsistencies regarding camera and quality overall etc
SO at the moment the S9 seems like my only option. I am also concerned about future software updates due to Samsungs not so great track record with updates.
