iPhone 17 Price in Kenya vs Global Market — Why It’s Higher Here
The iPhone 17 retails cheaper in the global U.S. and UAE markets, but several factors increase costs locally:
✅ Import duty & VAT

✅ Warranty support via authorized resellers
While a U.S. price may start from $899 (approx. 118,000 KES), Kenyan customers pay extra for:

So although prices are higher here, you gain security and support if something goes wrong.
