•Nkechi Blessing with iPhone 17
Actress Nkechi Blessing has proven the authenticity of her iPhone 17 by participating in the trending “Apple Challenge,” which tests whether high-end iPhones are genuine by submerging them in water.
The challenge was initiated by media personality Daddy Freeze to verify claims by celebrities and influencers about owning original Apple devices.
The Frontier reports that the iPhone XR is no longer eligible for major iOS updates, and the term XR has recently gained notoriety in Nigeria due to a scam involving repackaging old XR models as newer iPhones.
In a video shared online, Nkechi confidently dipped her ₦3 million iPhone 17 into a bowl of water, demonstrating that it was indeed authentic.
Before performing the test, she displayed her collection of Apple gadgets, stressing that all her devices were genuine.
Reacting to criticism from some followers who had mocked her over the phone, she said, “I am an Apple girl, as you can see. All my gadgets are Apple. I no go let una wey dey buy this iPhone 17 wey I buy for ₦3 million for ₦450k, ₦250k or ₦50k disrespect me. This Apple Challenge na Daddy Freeze start am. If una sure, put una phone inside water like this.”
Her move comes amid online debates and skepticism surrounding claims by some celebrities about owning the latest Apple devices.
