Nigerians are rushing to get their hands on the iPhone 16, thanks to a fresh price slash and bundled support services from Apple’s authorised resellers in the country.
iStore and iConnect, both official Apple Authorised Resellers — are offering ₦200,000 off the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus in a limited-time deal that has tech enthusiasts crowding their outlets at Ikeja City Mall, Jabi Lake Mall, and Palms Shopping Mall in Lekki.
But it’s not just about the discount. Buyers say they’re choosing these stores for the added security that comes with purchasing an “authorised” iPhone. With every sale, customers get a two-year warranty, six months of screen or liquid damage cover, and in-store support to set up their devices.
“This isn’t just about price,” said a manager at the iStore in Ikeja. “People want to be sure they’re buying a genuine iPhone with full support, and that’s what we offer.”
Each device carries a Redington sticker, proof that it’s been supplied by Apple’s official distributor in Nigeria. For customers wary of fakes and grey market devices, that seal has become a deciding factor.
Nigeria’s smartphone market is evolving fast. Today’s buyers are not only looking for the latest gadgets, they also want assurances: warranties, financing options, trade-in deals, and quality after-sales service.
Both iStore and iConnect have responded to this shift, rolling out device financing plans and trade-in opportunities as part of their ongoing effort to stand out in a crowded tech market.
The current promo will run while stocks last. Customers are encouraged to check with local stores for availability before heading out.
