The poster, known as @Introvert on X, explained that his friend paid ₦820,000 for the smartphone. Upon arriving home, he discovered that the device only accepted a Type‑C charger, contrary to the conventional Lightning connector. He tweeted, “My pal bought this iPhone 16 yesterday for 820k and came to charge it at my place. You won’t believe it – a Type‑C cord powers this phone instead of the usual iPhone charger.” The tweet quickly attracted numerous comments.

Why the confusion?” Jomiloju remarked, “They totally scammed him – those Computer Village vendors are notorious for pushing Type‑C cords.” Jay added, “They ought to detain that introvert for misleading people.” Simpleton wondered, “Should a pin‑mouth charger be used to power it?” Isa noted, “iPhones come in different versions; some are assembled in Lagos.”
