Authorised Apple reseller Salute iWorld has officially unveiled the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, along with the highly anticipated iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, in the Kenyan market.
The new devices combine cutting-edge technology, exquisite design, and unmatched performance to empower users in their everyday lives.
Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing said that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are engineered to set new standards in the smartphone industry.
“Their innovative features include a robust design, featuring colour-infused glass and a textured matte finish, paired with an aluminum frame designed for an ergonomic grip,” Joswiak said.

Available in a range of vibrant colours, they are the perfect choice for both upgraders and first-time iPhone users.
Speaking in Nairobi during the launch, Salute Holdings Group Managing Director Vivek Mehra said the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max represent a leap forward in mobile technology.
“These models introduce an aerospace-grade titanium design that’s not only incredibly robust but also lighter than ever before,” he said.
