Airtel Kenya and Apple have formed a strategic partnership allowing customers to purchase the iPhone range of products Airtel’s shops all over the country.
Under the partnership customers will also be treated to free 10GB internet bundles for a three-month period after purchase of any iPhone.
The distribution of the devices will be undertaken by EMS, which is Apple’s official distributor in Kenya, while a one-year Apple warranty is also included.
Speaking at the launch of the partnership, Airtel Kenya chief executive officer (CEO) Adil El Youssefi said with the collaboration customers will be able to easily obtain smartphones in Airtel shops and experience the company’s services.
“The iPhone 5s is believed to be one of the highest quality smartphones in the world. A smartphone of this nature is best used on a network that offers high speed internet services, on our 3.75G network which is fast and available in major cities in Kenya. Customers can enjoy all the multimedia services on the iPhone 5s on Airtel’s network, make clearer calls, access high speed internet and enjoy live streaming at high speeds.”
