The iPhone 18 Pro is available at approximately ₦2.2 million to ₦2.5 million in Nigeria for the 256GB storage, depending on the retailer, warranty and the exchange rate, due to its price in Nigeria at the moment. The iPhone 18 Pro Max is priced at approximately ₦2.7 million and can go beyond ₦4 million for the 2TB version.
Apple has not published a direct Nigerian naira price available, as the company doesn’t have an official Apple Store in Nigeria. Authorised resellers/importers determine local prices.
As of this writing, Apple has officially released information about the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Apple hasn’t officially confirmed the iPhone 18’s list in the launch announcement. This is important as some Nigerian sellers might take the term “iPhone 18” for the new pro models in general.
