Apple Incorporated has announced its
official entry into the Nigerian mobile
device market; naming four retailers to
sell and service its products in the
country.
In a statement on Tuesday, Taryn
Hyam, the Corporate Communications
Manager, Southern Africa for Apple,
listed the representatives as iConnect
(Lagos), Meed Networks (Abuja),
Orchard (Lagos) and Cross-Energy
Supply (Abuja); adding that all are
"fully equipped and positioned to
provide customers with best-in-class
service support".
"Apple is banking on its extended
market presence and an increasing
demand for smart-phones to increase
its market share in Nigeria and Africa
generally," she said. "The naming of
the retail outlets signal the end of
unauthorised marketing of Apple
products in the country".
Hyam said that Nigeria was a vital
market for the firm in Africa.
According to her, Apple was engaged
in discussions to further expand its
distribution network in Nigeria. "We
want to provide the world-class
support to our customers," she said.
"We are also offering a two-year
warranty for only customers who
purchase devices from authorised
resellers."
Apple is also considering entering
strategic partnership with leading
telecommunications companies in
Nigeria to further expand the scope of
Nigeria’s device market.
According to Hyam, network operators
such as MTN, Globacom, Airtel and
Etisalat have been bundling Apple
devices with innovative data packages.
However, this activity, she pointed
out, was going on through
"unauthorised channels".
Apple Inc, through Core Group Africa,
its value added distributor in Nigeria,
also announced that the new iPad is
officially available locally from the
starting price of N105,000.
"The new iPad is now available in
Nigeria as part of the next global roll-
out by Apple," said Hyam. "This is the
first time it will be available through
the official Apple channel in Nigeria.
The new iPad Wi-Fi and iPad Wi-Fi +
Cellular will be available in black or
white in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB
models. It features a stunning new
retina display, Apple’s new A5X chip
with quad-core graphics and a 5
mega pixel iSight camera with
advanced optics for capturing
amazing photos and 1080p HD
video".
Rutger van Spaandonk, the Executive
Director of Core Group Africa, said the
company was looking forward to
positioning Apple products as leaders
in the Nigerian market. "Apple’s
category defining mobile device, the
new iPad, has revolutionised the
mobile computing industry and
delivers the most amazing experience
people have ever had with
technology," he said. "We are thrilled
to make this unbelievable product
available to Nigerians."
