She further explained that the iPhone 17 Pro Max she wanted to buy was meant for her brother, but the phone was already sold out in the store. Many individuals had reportedly bought it in bulk and began reselling it outside the Apple Store at an increased price of about ₦100,000.

In her TikTok video, she mentioned that these people were doing it to make quick money, believing that desperate buyers, especially foreigners with limited time in the country, would pay the extra cost.

Her statement:

“You guys, this is my 100th attempt trying to buy my little brother the iPhone 17 Pro Max. I'm literally standing outside the Apple Store, and people are hawking iPhones.

“I wish I was lying. These people went into the store and bought all the new iPhones to the point that if you want to get one, you have to preorder, and it takes one month.

“They’re selling each one with an extra ₦100k on top, and they did it to target desperate foreigners who have limited time left in the country.”

As she made the post, many individuals who came across it stormed the comment section to share their thoughts.
