Nigerian businessman and entrepreneur Blord has sparked online reactions after unveiling plans to sell modified iPhone XR devices designed to resemble an “iPhone 18 Pro” for ₦380,000.
Blord announced the plan in a social media post while calling on interested buyers to begin placing orders ahead of the release.
According to the businessman, the devices will be created by converting iPhone XR units and redesigning their exterior to give them the appearance of a newer-generation iPhone.
The proposed ₦380,000 price tag has generated further discussion online, with social media users weighing in on the idea of transforming an older iPhone model into a device that looks like a more recent version.
While Blord refers to the phones as “iPhone 18 Pro,” the devices are reportedly modified iPhone XR units and not original iPhone 18 Pro smartphones.
The announcement has also drawn attention from technology enthusiasts, particularly over the growing trend of smartphone modifications, where older devices are given the physical appearance of newer models.
Blord has encouraged prospective customers to secure their orders as preparations for the release continue.
The development has continued to fuel conversations online, with users debating the appeal, pricing and concept behind the converted devices.
