Apple has just unveiled the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, and they’re already making waves across the tech world. For customers in Kenya, this is one of the most exciting iPhone releases ever combining a fresh new design, upgraded cameras, and the most powerful chip yet. If you’ve been waiting to upgrade, this is the iPhone to look out for at Applecenter Kenya.
Bold New Design

Apple has reimagined the Pro series with a unibody aluminum frame and a sleek two-tone back design. The rear now has a raised camera plateau across the top section, making it instantly recognizable. For the first time, Ceramic Shield protects both the front and back, giving the iPhone 17 Pro extra toughness, perfect for Nairobi’s busy lifestyle.
Apple also introduced vapor chamber cooling, which keeps the device cooler during heavy use, whether you’re gaming, recording 4K videos, or editing content for your social media.
Powerhouse Performance with A19 Pro

At the heart of the new lineup is the A19 Pro chip, Apple’s most advanced processor ever. It delivers faster performance while staying efficient, and thanks to the vapor cooling, you can push the iPhone 17 Pro harder than ever. For Kenya’s growing community of mobile gamers and content creators, this means fewer slowdowns and longer sessions without overheating.
Cameras Built for Creators

The triple 48MP Fusion system is one of Apple’s most impressive upgrades:
- Main Camera: sharper low-light shots for those Nairobi nightlife photos.
- Ultra Wide: crisper landscapes and group photos.
- Telephoto: now with 8× optical-quality zoom, letting you capture wildlife at Nairobi National Park or detailed street shots without losing clarity.
On the front, the new 18MP square Center Stage camera adapts seamlessly between portrait and landscape selfies, making it perfect for FaceTime or TikTok videos.
For professionals, Apple added ProRes RAW, Log 2, and genlock support, turning the iPhone into a serious filmmaking tool.
Displays That Outshine the Sun
Kenya’s bright sun won’t be a problem anymore. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max feature ProMotion OLED displays that now peak at 3,000 nits of brightness the brightest iPhone screens ever.
iPhone 17 Pro: 6.3-inch display
iPhone 17 Pro Max: 6.9-inch display
Battery Life Built to Last
Battery life has always been a major concern for iPhone users, but Apple made a huge jump this year.
iPhone 17 Pro: up to 33 hours of video playback
iPhone 17 Pro Max: up to 39 hours of video playback
Charging is also faster, with 40W USB-C fast charging (50% in 20 minutes) and 25W MagSafe wireless charging.
Interestingly, if you go for the eSIM-only model (which is now standard in many regions), you get up to two extra hours of battery life compared to models with a physical SIM slot.

iPhone 17 Pro: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB
