Long-term ownership
Specs and price are only the first layer. This section compares how each phone should feel after the unboxing too: support runway, repair friction, and resale confidence in the local market.

These signals are the longer-term layer Decide brings into the compare, so the better phone is not reduced to specs alone.
Support runway
Strong support runwayThe iPhone 14 Pro Max still has roughly 3 years of software runway left, which is strong for a Nigerian buyer planning to keep a phone.
Repair reality
Repair mixedThe iPhone 14 Pro Max should still be serviceable locally, but support quality is not a standout advantage.
Resale confidence
Resale weakThe iPhone 14 Pro Max is not the kind of phone buyers usually chase for strong resale later, so long-term value relies more on what you pay now.
