A post circulating on social media claims that VeryDarkMan is currently at an Apple Store in China to begin arrangements for Nigerians interested in purchasing the new iPhone 18 at what is described as the “exact original price.”
The move has attracted attention online because of concerns over the prices at which newly released Apple devices are typically offered to Nigerian consumers. The post alleged that VDM was undertaking the initiative because some Nigerian phone vendors could significantly increase the prices of the devices when they become available locally.
“Phone vendors a no go like this one o,” the post said, reflecting the expectation among some social-media users that direct sourcing could put pressure on local retail prices.
Apple unveiled its new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max at its September 2026 event, with the Pro model starting at $1,199 and the Pro Max at $1,299. Apple also introduced its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, which starts at $1,999.
The launch comes amid broader price increases across Apple's product range. Reports indicate that the company also raised prices for some existing iPhone models, with the increases linked in part to rising memory and component costs.
The circulating claim about VeryDarkMan has therefore generated interest among Nigerians who are looking for ways to obtain the latest iPhone models without paying what they consider excessive local mark-ups.
If the reported arrangement materialises, it could give Nigerian buyers another purchasing option and potentially increase competition among gadget sellers. However, details about the proposed ordering process, final Nigerian prices, delivery arrangements and whether VDM has secured any official Apple retail or distribution agreement have not been independently established.
For now, the initiative remains a developing social-media story, while Nigerians await further details from VeryDarkMan regarding availability, pricing and how interested buyers would be able to place orders.
