What to check before you buy
Check that the box says 'non-active' or brand new; activated phones should cost less.
eSIM-only models (most US units) have no SIM tray; confirm your network supports eSIM before buying.
Official iStore units carry Apple warranty in Nigeria; grey imports are cheaper but riskier.
Prices follow the naira-dollar rate, so confirm the price on the day you pay.
