Social activist and influencer, VeryDarkMan, has visited a Chinese factory allegedly behind the controversial “iPhone XR-to-iPhone 17 Pro” conversion.
The activist shared a video on his Instagram page showing how the so-called “new iPhones” are actually refurbished devices.
In the viral clip, VDM walked viewers through the process, showing how technicians buy low-battery iPhones and boost them to 100% capacity for just ₦2,000.

He also revealed how the phones are cleaned up, repackaged, and boxed with chargers and accessories to appear brand new.
In his caption, he wrote:
“Now let’s break the table some more. Watch how they buy low battery life iPhones and boost the battery to 100% with just ₦2k. I hope you know those cords una dey call follow-come no be follow-come o.”
The video is the latest in the online saga between him and businessman Blord.
Blord had shared a video showing off an “upgraded” iPhone XR he claimed had been transformed into an iPhone 17 Pro.
According to Blord, the modification was done in China and matched the latest Apple flagship in looks and interface. He even boasted about having a major office in an Asian country where such upgrades take place.
However, VDM quickly called him out, accusing him of misleading Nigerians by overpricing refurbished phones and claiming they were genuine high-end models.
Unfazed by the backlash, Blord clapped back, saying his operation was legitimate and accusing VDM of chasing clout.
