iPhone 17 Pro Max with 256GB of storage and eSIM Only connectivity is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 144,000 for a lightly used international unit. Made by Apple and released in September 2025, the iPhone 17 Pro Max pairs a 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR display with the A19 Pro chip and three 48MP rear cameras. This version has no SIM tray, so your line runs on a digital eSIM profile. Every unit is tested at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, and leaves with a 6-month Mascom International warranty.
Built for executives, content creators and frequent travellers across Kenya, the iPhone 17 Pro Max handles long days that swing between meetings, video calls and shoots. The usual problem with older phones is a battery that fades by mid-afternoon and a camera that struggles to zoom at events. The iPhone 17 Pro Max answers with up to 39 hours of video playback on eSIM models and a 4x telephoto lens that reaches 8x at optical quality. A journalist covering a rally in Kisumu, or an estate agent filming a property tour, gets clean footage without carrying a separate camera.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell used iPhones with no warranty and no fixed address, Mascom International tests each unit and stands behind it at a walk-in store. The eSIM version costs KSh 4,000 less than the Physical SIM Plus eSIM unit we also stock, which suits buyers whose lines already run on eSIM. Customers across Nairobi tell us the bigger screen and longer battery are what pushed them to upgrade from older Pro Max models.

Common Questions About the iPhone 17 Pro Max
How much is the iPhone 17 Pro Max 256GB eSIM in Kenya?
The iPhone 17 Pro Max 256GB eSIM costs KSh 144,000 as a used unit at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price includes a USB-C charging cable, our 6-month warranty on hardware functionality, and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. The Physical SIM Plus eSIM version of the same phone sells for KSh 148,000, so this unit saves you KSh 4,000. Against the used iPhone 16 Pro Max 256GB eSIM at KSh 116,000, you pay KSh 28,000 more for the newer model.
Is this iPhone 17 Pro Max used or refurbished, and what is the difference?
This iPhone 17 Pro Max is used: a carefully maintained international import, lightly used abroad and never deployed locally in Kenya. A refurbished phone has been opened and had parts replaced by a certified workshop, and ours has not. Every unit is tested for screen, cameras, Face ID, speakers and charging before sale. Battery health and small cosmetic marks vary between units, so ask us on WhatsApp for the exact battery reading and photos of the phone you will receive.
Does the eSIM Only iPhone 17 Pro Max work with Safaricom and Airtel Kenya?
Yes, the eSIM Only iPhone 17 Pro Max works on Safaricom and Airtel Kenya, since both networks issue eSIM profiles. Instead of inserting a card, you activate the line through your network, usually after a quick identity check at one of their shops. The phone stores several eSIM profiles and runs two lines at once, so a work number and a personal M-Pesa line sit side by side. If your network does not offer eSIM, choose the Physical SIM Plus eSIM version instead.
iPhone 17 Pro Max or iPhone 16 Pro Max: which should you buy in Kenya?
Choose the iPhone 17 Pro Max if camera zoom and battery life matter most; choose the iPhone 16 Pro Max if saving KSh 28,000 matters more. The newer model moves its telephoto lens to 48MP with 4x zoom, adds an 18MP Center Stage front camera, and uses an aluminium body with a vapour chamber that keeps the A19 Pro cooler during games or 4K recording. The iPhone 16 Pro Max, a used 256GB eSIM unit at KSh 116,000 here, still handles photos, video and daily work well.
How long does the iPhone 17 Pro Max battery last on one charge?
Apple rates the eSIM iPhone 17 Pro Max at up to 39 hours of video playback, two hours more than the version with a SIM tray. In daily use with WhatsApp, Google Maps, email and a few hours of video, that covers a full working day with charge to spare. With a 40W or higher USB-C adapter, Apple states it reaches 50% in 20 minutes. Battery health on used units varies, so confirm the figure for your unit before buying.
Who should buy the eSIM iPhone 17 Pro Max, and who should skip it?
The eSIM iPhone 17 Pro Max suits executives, content creators and frequent flyers who want a large screen, long battery life and a 4x telephoto camera. Travellers gain the most, because a travel eSIM for Dubai or London can be added before boarding with no card swapping. Skip it if your current line cannot move to eSIM, or if you move SIM cards between phones often; the Physical SIM Plus eSIM unit at KSh 148,000 fits you better. Buyers who mostly call and chat will find the iPhone 16 Pro Max at KSh 116,000 enough.
Is 256GB enough storage on the iPhone 17 Pro Max for 4K video?
For most buyers, 256GB on the iPhone 17 Pro Max is enough, since every 100GB holds about 10 hours of 4K video at 30fps on Apple's default settings. Photos take far less room: at roughly 3MB each, 30GB holds about 10,000 pictures. Creators who shoot 4K at 120fps or ProRes will fill space fast, so plan to offload footage to a laptop, an external SSD over USB-C, or iCloud. Storage cannot be expanded later, so think about your shooting habits before you buy.
Is the iPhone 17 Pro Max good for content creators in Kenya?
Yes, the iPhone 17 Pro Max gives Kenyan content creators three 48MP rear cameras and 4K recording at up to 120fps with Dolby Vision. Dual Capture records the front and rear cameras at the same time, useful for reaction clips and vlogs filmed in a busy Mombasa market. ProRes RAW and Genlock support suit creators who edit on a Mac or sync several cameras on one shoot. At Mascom International, we're seeing creators drop their separate vlogging cameras once they try the 18MP front camera.
Technical Specifications
Display and Build Quality
- 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED at 2868 x 1320 pixels — sharp text for contracts, spreadsheets and long reading sessions.
- ProMotion refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz — scrolling feels fluid, and the screen slows down when still to save battery.
- Peak outdoor brightness of 3000 nits — the display stays readable under midday sun at a site visit or open-air event.
- Ceramic Shield 2 front glass with an anti-reflective coating — less glare and better resistance to scratches from keys and coins.
- Aluminium unibody with an IP68 water and dust rating — rated to handle rain, spilled drinks and dusty roads under normal use.
Processor and Performance
- Apple A19 Pro chip built on a 3nm process — a compact, efficient design that saves power during heavy use.
- 6-core CPU with two performance cores and four efficiency cores — demanding tasks get speed while light tasks sip battery.
- 6-core GPU with Neural Accelerators in each core — faster graphics for games and quicker on-device AI work like photo edits.
- Vapour chamber cooling inside the aluminium body — spreads heat so the phone holds its speed during gaming or 4K recording.
- Runs iOS 26 with Apple Intelligence features — writing tools, photo clean-up and live translation built into the system.
Memory and Storage
- 256GB internal storage — space for roughly 50,000 photos at about 3MB each, with room left for apps and documents.
- 4K video at 30fps uses about 170MB a minute — roughly 10 hours of footage fits in 100GB of space.
- No memory card slot — storage cannot be expanded, so back up regularly to iCloud, a laptop or an external drive.
- USB-C port with USB 3 speeds up to 10Gb/s — large video files move to a laptop or SSD far faster than over USB 2.
- Apple does not publish RAM size — iOS manages memory so recent apps resume quickly when you switch back to them.
Camera Hardware and Imaging Capabilities
- 48MP Fusion main camera — detailed daylight shots and cleaner low-light photos for events, products and family moments.
- 48MP ultra-wide camera — fits a full room, building or group into one frame, and doubles as a macro lens for close-ups.
- 48MP telephoto with 4x optical zoom and 8x optical-quality zoom — close shots of speakers, stages or wildlife from a distance.
- 18MP Center Stage front camera — the frame widens automatically for group selfies and video calls, even with the phone held upright.
- 4K video at up to 120fps with Dolby Vision, plus ProRes RAW — smooth slow motion and footage ready for professional editing.
Battery and Charging
- Up to 39 hours of video playback on eSIM models, by Apple's rating — a long working day with plenty in reserve.
- Up to 50% charge in 20 minutes with a 40W or higher USB-C adapter — a quick top-up before heading out.
- MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging up to 25W with a 30W adapter — snap-on charging at your desk without plugging in.
- USB-C charging — the same cable type as most laptops and Android phones, so chargers are easy to share at home and work.
- Battery health and charge cycle count shown in Settings — check the remaining capacity of your used unit at any time.
Connectivity and Network Support
- 5G support — works on Safaricom 5G in towns where it is switched on, and falls back to 4G elsewhere.
- Dual eSIM with no SIM tray — two lines active at once, with space to store more profiles for travel.
- Wi-Fi 7 through Apple's N1 wireless chip — faster, steadier home and office internet on newer routers.
- Bluetooth 6 — stable connections to earbuds, car stereos and smartwatches throughout the day.
- Second-generation Ultra Wideband chip — precise finding of AirTags and other Apple devices with on-screen direction arrows.
