Apple has launched the new iPhone 17 series, including the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, bringing significant upgrades like a new Center Stage front camera and advanced Pro video tools. While these devices represent major advancements globally, their relevance and affordability in the Kenyan market, dominated by budget-friendly Android brands, remain a key consideration.

• The iPhone 17 Pro Max offers up to 2TB of storage, a first for Apple, with prices starting at $1,199 (~KES 155,000) before taxes and imports.
• The iPhone 17 features an Always-On ProMotion display with 3000 nits peak brightness and a new A19 chip.
• Kenya is not a first-wave launch market, and local prices for the iPhone 17 Pro Max could exceed KES 250,000 due to reseller markups.
• The iPhone 17 Pro series introduces ProRes RAW and Log 2 recording, alongside 4K120 Dolby Vision, making them powerful tools for content creators in Nairobi.
• All models will be available for pre-order on September 12, 2025, and in stores by September 19 in initial markets.
