New iPad, iPhone 6 in Nigerian market within weeks

ITRealms:

Given that the new iPad and iPhone 6 phones were launched yesterday, September 10, in the United States (US), Apple fans in Nigeria are expecting that these products will hit market locally in less than eight weeks, reports ITRealms.

Sources close to Apple authorized dealer in Nigeria, iStore warned Nigerians to be cautious of buying the newly launched products at exorbitant and unauthorized market prices.

“The Apple iStore in the ikeja shopping mall is the home of "everything Apple in Nigeria" our source declared.

ITRealms recalls that the products announced include the bigger than ever iPad Pro and the stunning new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.  

“The new iPhone will also come in Rose Gold. This is fantastic for all of us who are Apple fans,” our source also said.

Pointing out that with companies like Etisalat, Globacom and Airtel selling the iPhone in their stores Nigerian should trust them to have the authentic product that comes with the Apple warranty and the best data bundle deals around. 

“It now seems odd to ask someone else to get the iPhone for you when you can get it yourself, and probably sooner than the return of our traveling friends, even at much cheaper prices,” ITRealms was told.
