In a video covered by Legit.ng, VeryDarkMan said he was visiting an Apple Store in China and warned Nigerian phone sellers against excessive markups on the newly unveiled iPhone 18 lineup.

He also said he was willing to help followers source devices directly, reviving memories of his earlier public dispute with tech entrepreneur Blord over handset pricing.

Echotitbits take: The story sits at the intersection of influencer culture, consumer pricing and tech retail. The biggest question is whether the proposed direct-buying help becomes an organised service or remains a social-media stunt.
