Apple iPhone X comes in gorgeous silver and space grey colors, all-glass front and back featuring the most durable glass ever in a Smartphone with a highly polished, surgical-grade stainless steel band seamlessly wraps around and reinforces iPhone X.

The TrueDepth camera brings emoji to life in a fun new way with Animoji.

Yes Dickson, it is great to have such a device in Kenya. The problem is the pricing. Very few can buy handsets worth $1400 roughly Ksh. 1.4M. Anyways it is good it is finally in Kenya.
The price is very steep. Anyway, welcome #iPhoneXKe
