iphone 12 pro

In 2026, the iPhone 12 Pro is a high-performance choice for Nigerians who want "Pro" features—like a LiDAR scanner and a stainless steel frame—without the multi-million Naira price tag of the newest flagships.

At Kara.com.ng, we specialize in providing verified premium devices that offer the best balance of prestige and power.

Overview of the iPhone 12 Pro

The iPhone 12 Pro was the first to introduce the stunning Pacific Blue finish and the high-durability Ceramic Shield. It is powered by the A14 Bionic chip and 6GB of RAM, making it significantly faster and better at multitasking than the standard iPhone 12. Its triple-lens camera system remains excellent for photography in 2026, especially with its ability to shoot in Apple ProRAW.

iPhone 12 Pro Price in Nigeria (UK Used - Feb 2026)

The market for the iPhone 12 Pro is stable, with prices largely depending on storage capacity:

1. iPhone 12 Pro (128GB): ₦480,000 – ₦560,000
2. iPhone 12 Pro (256GB): ₦600,000 – ₦730,000
3. iPhone 12 Pro (512GB): ₦750,000 – ₦820,000

Pro Tip: Because the 12 Pro features a stainless steel frame, "UK Used" units often look newer than aluminum models because they resist deep scratches and dents much better.

Advice: How to Spot a Stolen or Illegal Device

To protect your investment and avoid legal trouble, always verify these three things before paying:

1. Check the IMEI: Dial *#06# and enter the code into IMEI.info or IMEIpro.info. If the status says "Blacklisted" or "Stolen," do not buy it.
2. Verify Activation Lock: Ensure Find My iPhone is disabled. If the phone is locked to an iCloud account, it is likely stolen or "bricked."
3. Check Model Number: Go to Settings > General > About. If the model number starts with "M", it was originally a retail unit. If it starts with "N", it was an Apple replacement. Avoid units with unofficial markings.

The 2026 iOS Lifecycle: Is it Still Worth It?

As of February 2026, the iPhone 12 Pro is fully compatible with iOS 26. However, experts predict that major OS updates for the 12 Pro series may end by 2027–2028.

While it will receive security patches for years after that, it is more cost-effective to consider a newer model if you plan to keep your phone for the next 4–5 years.

Conclusion: Final Recommendation

The iPhone 12 Pro is a fantastic "entry-level Pro" device for 2026. However, if you can stretch your budget to the iPhone 14 Pro, you will gain at least two additional years of major iOS updates, making it a more cost-effective choice in the long run.
