A young Nigerian woman has taken to social media to express her disappointment after allegedly receiving a counterfeit iPhone from her uncle who resides in Canada.
The woman, identified on TikTok as @nanya_freddy, shared a video showing the unboxing of what was supposed to be a brand-new iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, her excitement quickly turned to dismay when she discovered the device was not genuine.
According to her, her uncle had told her he was sending an iPhone 16 Pro Max from Canada. But upon receiving the package, she realized the phone was a poorly made imitation, likely an Android device customized to resemble an iPhone.
In her video, she attempted to compare the fake device’s camera quality with that of a real iPhone and pointed out noticeable differences. She captioned her post:
"My uncle in Canada sent me fake iPhone 15 Pro Max."
The situation sparked mixed reactions in the comments section:
-
@JOANNA 🌟🌹🦋🦄 asked: “Did you pay him to get it for you?”
-
@fiod speculated: “Maybe it was a factory problem. I had a friend that had the same issue and she got hers changed.”
-
@nanya_freddy responded: “I don’t think it’s a factory issue, it’s an Android phone cloned to look like an iPhone. I have two iPhones already, and this one doesn’t compare.”
-
@Strands By Teee💞 commented: “Maybe it was just a mistake.”
-
@nanya_freddy added humorously: “Lol, they scammed him. He bought it from an Arab guy and now can’t find him.”
-
@BumBee shared a similar experience: “Maybe it was swapped during delivery. That happened to me last year.”
The incident highlights the growing concern around counterfeit electronics and the importance of purchasing gadgets from verified and trusted sources, especially when buying from overseas or through third parties.
