In a chat with Legit.ng, Emeka Okechukwu Abel, a phone and gadget dealer at Abel Gadgets, spoke about the upgrade and whether it affected the phone's durability.
He said:
"Please note that this process is not done by Apple. It is a refurbished conversion, often referred to as first-grade. The idea behind it is to make the 17 Pro design available at a more affordable price, since the original iPhone 17 Pro is quite expensive. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time such a conversion is being done.
" Concerning whether the conversion will affect the durability and effectiveness of the device, I’m not completely certain, but I don’t think it would have much effect. For the manufacturers to choose the iPhone XR as the base model, they must have good reasons. The XR has been one of the best-selling iPhones in Nigeria, and it has proven to be affordable, reliable, and efficient. In this conversion, the phone still functions as an iPhone XR, maintaining most of its original features.
"I sell that exact upgraded phone for N300k and a free delivery interstate, but it's available on preorder."
