New buyers of select TECNO and Infinix phones in Kenya can receive three months free of Google AI Plus, a service typically costing KES 900 per month. This promotional offer comes as other tech platforms announce significant changes to their monetization and incentive structures. X is retiring its Creator Revenue Sharing program on September 7, requiring all creators to reapply for the new Original Content Rewards Program. Meanwhile, rumours circulating on Weibo suggest that Apple might increase the prices of its iPhone 17 models as early as Monday, August 10, following a pattern of Apple raising prices on other products earlier in 2026.
