Why buying used iPhone is a scam – Man advises
A Nigerian man, identified as @sapatech on TikTok has revealed the tactics used by many iPhone vendors to scam their customers in Nigeria.
In the video, the man mentioned that vendors selling used iPhones often engage in deceptive practices by falsifying certain features such as battery health, True Tone, and more. He claimed that these vendors can alter the figures and features of the iPhone for as little as N1,500, making the buyer believe that the device is in good condition.
