Fast and Furiously Smart — iPhone 17e with A19
The Apple iPhone 17e 256GB serves as the definitive entry point into Apple’s latest smartphone lineup, but its performance metrics are anything but baseline. Equipped with the next-generation A19 processor, a brilliant Super Retina XDR display, all-day battery life, and deeply integrated Apple Intelligence, this model stands as the most capable entry-tier smartphone Apple has ever engineered. It features a generous 256GB baseline storage capacity right out of the box, giving you double the space of previous entry-level generations. This model is available directly through Mac Garage at our experience centers in Westlands, Nairobi and United Mall, Kisumu for KSh 106,000.
A19 Chip — Supercharged Performance
The cutting-edge Apple A19 chip features a 6-core CPU and a 16-core Neural Engine built directly into its 3nm architecture, delivering faster mobile AI performance than any previous iPhone at this tier. Whether you are editing high-resolution photos, compiling video drafts, playing graphic-intensive mobile games, or managing multiple workspace communication apps simultaneously, the A19 chip handles every task with speed and efficiency that older smartphone generations simply cannot match.
Built for Apple Intelligence
Apple Intelligence operates entirely on the local A19 silicone architecture, allowing you to write, proofread text, summarize dense text threads, generate illustrative images, and manage notifications with absolute on-device privacy. Because processing occurs locally, your private personal or enterprise data never leaves your iPhone to settle on external cloud servers. Features like Live Translation across languages in FaceTime and intelligent Call Screening fundamentally optimize how you manage your daily calls and messages.
6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED Display
The pro-grade Super Retina XDR display sets a high standard with up to 1200 nits of peak brightness, ensuring that text, web pages, and media remain perfectly crisp and visible even under direct midday Nairobi sunlight. Every image, video, and design layout renders with extraordinary clarity and color profile fidelity. True blacks and vibrant highlights make this panel one of the most visually complete displays ever configured into an entry-tier smartphone framework.
48MP Fusion Camera System
The upgraded 48MP Fusion camera system captures sharp, color-accurate photos at full resolution or uses an optimized 24MP default for quick file sharing. It features a built-in 2x Optical Telephoto lens, giving you two cameras in one seamless sensor layout. With advanced Night Mode, Portrait Mode, and stunning 4K Dolby Vision video recording at 60fps, you can record cinema-quality clips and social media content without needing external camera hardware.
All-Day Battery Life and MagSafe
The iPhone 17e yields exceptional all-day battery life on a single charge cycle, thanks to the highly energy-efficient Apple C1X 5G modem. This gives you the freedom to navigate a full sequence of commutes, meetings, creative tasks, and evening entertainment without looking for a power bank. For the first time on an entry-series model, MagSafe wireless charging is fully supported, enabling snap-on 15W magnetic charging and compatibility with the entire ecosystem of MagSafe cases, wallets, and car mounts. When a quick top-up is required, traditional USB-C fast charging gets you to 50% battery capacity in approximately 30 minutes.
