iPhone Prices in Nigeria (2026): New, UK-Used and Where to Buy

If you are checking iPhone prices in Nigeria before a purchase or before stocking a shop, the first thing to know is that no single price exists. The same model can sit in three different bands depending on whether it is new from an authorised dealer, UK-used, or Nigerian-used, and the naira rate moves all of them. This guide pulls together the ranges published by Nigerian sources we read in October 2026, tells you who published each one, and explains the checks that stop you overpaying for a locked or tired phone.
Treat every figure below as a snapshot, not a quote. Prices change with the naira rate, stock and storage size, so confirm with the seller on the day you buy. Where we could not read a current price, we say so instead of guessing.
New iPhone prices in Nigeria: ranges from an authorised retailer
The most detailed new-phone list we could read comes from the blog of SLOT, a phone retailer. Its iPhone price list, updated April 2026 and published 4 May 2026, gives ranges across authorised dealers. Because it comes from a seller, read it as a market guide rather than an independent survey. A selection of its ranges:
| Model and storage | Range quoted (April 2026) |
|---|---|
| iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB | ₦2,150,000 to ₦2,350,000 |
| iPhone 15 128GB | ₦1,150,000 to ₦1,300,000 |
| iPhone 14 128GB | ₦850,000 to ₦1,000,000 |
| iPhone 13 128GB | ₦650,000 to ₦800,000 |
| iPhone 12 64GB | ₦480,000 to ₦620,000 |
| iPhone 11 64GB | ₦350,000 to ₦480,000 |
| iPhone XR 64GB | ₦280,000 to ₦380,000 |
For the newest handsets, Techeconomy reported on 30 September 2026, citing iStore Nigeria, that the iPhone 18 Pro was priced at ₦2,269,000 for 256GB, ₦2,649,000 for 512GB, ₦3,489,000 for 1TB and ₦4,649,000 for 2TB. The same article said the standard iPhone 18 had not yet launched. We could not read a current naira price list for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 series, so we do not quote one here. If you want those models, ask two or three sellers for written prices on the same day.
UK-used iPhone prices in Nigeria
UK-used phones (also called foreign-used) are the route many Lagos buyers take when a new model is out of budget. A Revibyte guide published 25 April 2026 listed these UK-used ranges for the second quarter of 2026:
- iPhone 11: ₦120,000 to ₦170,000
- iPhone 12 (64GB or 128GB): ₦200,000 to ₦260,000
- iPhone 13 mini: ₦230,000 to ₦280,000
- iPhone 13 (128GB): ₦250,000 to ₦300,000
- iPhone SE (2022): ₦180,000 to ₦220,000
Put those next to the new-phone table above and the gap is large. For example, an iPhone 13 128GB is listed at ₦650,000 to ₦800,000 new by one retailer and ₦250,000 to ₦300,000 UK-used by a different publisher. The two pages are different sources, written weeks apart, so do not treat the difference as exact. The point is that condition, battery health and warranty are what you are really paying for. Revibyte also said brand-new iPhones at these budget levels are basically non-existent, and that the latest models start at ₦800,000 or more.
Nigerian-used, UK-used or new: what changes
We did not find a sourced price list for Nigerian-used iPhones, so we leave out numbers. What we can say is how the three routes differ on warranty and risk:
- New from an authorised dealer. SLOT says new devices come with a 12-month Apple warranty, and that only authorised-dealer warranties are accepted by Apple service centres in Nigeria, while international warranties are not honoured.
- UK-used. Cheaper, but battery wear and past screen repairs vary from phone to phone. Revibyte notes that some iPhone 12 units had batteries replaced outside Apple's certified network, which can trigger battery health warnings.
- Nigerian-used. Often a trade-in from a local owner. Ask for the original receipt and proof of purchase.
Checks before you buy an iPhone in Lagos
Whatever the price, run the same checks. These come from the Slot and Revibyte guides and from Apple's own instructions:
- Battery health. Open Settings, Battery, then Battery Health and Charging. Revibyte says to walk away if it is below 80%.
- Find My and iCloud. SLOT advises confirming Find My iPhone is turned off so the phone is not iCloud-locked.
- IMEI and serial number. Apple's support page says you find the serial number and IMEI under Settings, General, About, and that you may need to scroll down to see them. Revibyte recommends checking the IMEI on Apple's coverage checker for coverage eligibility, activation lock and lost or stolen status.
- Face ID. Test it several times. Revibyte says failures can come from poorly done third-party screen replacements.
- eSIM models. Revibyte warns that some iPhone 14 units entering Nigeria are US-model eSIM-only, with no physical SIM slot. Ask if the phone takes a physical SIM before you pay.
- Price that looks too good. SLOT treats a price 15% or more below market as a warning sign of counterfeits or scams.
Where to buy: shops, marketplaces and bulk
SLOT recommends authorised resellers (it names SLOT Systems Limited and Pointek) and advises avoiding unauthorised online and social-media sellers. Revibyte says to prefer sellers with a physical store and a return policy, and to take extra care on classified sites. Both are sensible rules whichever shop you use: get a written receipt, keep the box, and test the phone before leaving.
If you resell phones, buying one at a time stops being practical. For a small batch, use our guide to wholesale electronics and phones for sellers, then post a request at /request-quotation with the model, storage, quantity and delivery country so approved suppliers can respond. Single handsets for personal use can be browsed in the retail catalogue at /marketplace/shop. Comilmart buyer protection holds payment until delivery is confirmed, with a 7-day window, and verified-supplier badges help you spot checked suppliers. Open the price guide for more categories and read how to use the price guide.
Why iPhone prices in Nigeria keep moving
Phones are imported, so the naira rate, shipping and import costs feed straight into shelf prices. Storage matters too: in the SLOT list, stepping up one storage tier on an iPhone 15 Pro adds roughly ₦200,000 to ₦300,000. If you are comparing models across countries, our smartphone price guide for Ghana shows how local markets differ. Compare the same model, same storage and same condition, and always ask whether delivery is included.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest iPhone I can buy in Nigeria? Among the sources we read, the lowest listed new price was the iPhone XR 64GB at ₦280,000 to ₦380,000 (SLOT, April 2026), and the lowest UK-used range was the iPhone 11 at ₦120,000 to ₦170,000 (Revibyte, April 2026). Both change often.
Is a UK-used iPhone worth it? It can be, if the battery health is above 80%, the IMEI checks clean and Face ID works. The saving is real, but the warranty is usually weaker than on a new phone from an authorised dealer.
Do international Apple warranties work in Nigeria? According to SLOT, they are not honoured and only authorised-dealer warranties are accepted by Apple service centres. Confirm with Apple or the dealer before you buy.
How do I check if an iPhone is stolen or locked? Use Apple's coverage checker with the serial number or IMEI, and confirm that Find My iPhone is off. If a seller refuses, walk away.
Can I buy iPhones in bulk through Comilmart? You can post a request for quotation and approved suppliers can respond. We cannot promise prices, stock or sellers, so compare the quotations you receive.
Next step
Before you pay for any handset, compare at least three written prices for the same iPhone model and storage, run the battery, IMEI and Find My checks, and confirm the warranty in writing. To compare quotations for a batch, submit a request for quotation, or browse bulk listings to see suppliers and minimum order quantities. The best way to judge iPhone prices in Nigeria is to ask several sellers on the same day.
