Meeting customer needs is considered to be vital for product success. Identifying users’ needs and requirements ensures maximum customers experience. Customers experience was looked from customers’ expectations and customers’ retention and the need of the customers was seen from latent needs, immediate needs and perceived users’ needs. This article does a study of iPhones usage in Nigeria with special consideration to immediate, perceived and latent users’ needs and also went on to address the problems of non-satisfaction of the needs of customers and the frequent production of new iPhone without determining the effect the older versions have on the needs and requirements of their customers. The study concludes that differences exist between users’ needs and users’ requirement, the study went on to conclude also that using several information sources to obtain customer needs and requirement as not yielded much result. Based on these conclusions, the article recommend that Apple, the manufacturer of iPhones, should engage their customer more by creating a sort of awareness medium that is targeted at enlightening their customers on the purchase of its products. If such awareness is created, customers can in turn identify their needs and requirements adequately, and these will make them serve as good ambassador for Apple products and iPhones in particular in Nigeria.
