As someone in Kenya pointed out to me once, I asked someone (at Safaricom, their biggest tech company) why Kenyans seemed to prefer Android. He laughed and said: We don't prefer Android, it's what we can afford. I suppose coming from my first world bubble of friends of family it's reality check.


I've spent a lot of time in Tanzania and Kenya and when someone makes some money, the first thing they buy is an iPhone.
