Support runway
Strong support runwayThe iPhone 15 Pro Max still has roughly 4 years of software runway left, which is strong for a Nigerian buyer planning to keep a phone.

Verified live prices from tracked stores like Jumia and Slot. The freshness badges above tell you whether Decide checked those listings recently enough to trust them as current, or whether you should treat them as aging context and recheck before buying. Listings may still vary by variant, seller, or location, and physical store prices may differ.
iPhone prices can differ even when model names look close. Storage, country or region code, battery health, SIM setup, warranty status, and repair history can make an older Pro unit cost more than a newer base model.

Safe buying steps
- - Do not pay before inspection or a trusted handoff.
- - If the seller is far away, ask someone near that area to inspect the phone first.
- - Confirm IMEI, SIM/network lock, battery health, screen, cameras, charging, and biometrics before paying.
- - Meet in a safe public place and keep the listing/chat evidence until the deal is settled.
Local support: No Apple authorised service centres in Nigeria. Periscope camera module is irreparable locally if damaged. Apple warranty not valid in Nigeria.
