Check the warranty yourself
You do not have to take our word for it. Apple lets anyone look up any device, and it takes about a minute. Do it in the shop before you pay if you like — we would rather you did.
- 1
Get the serial number or IMEI
Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner and choose About This Mac. The serial number is shown there, and you can select it to copy.
It is also printed on the barcode label of the original box, so you can check a sealed unit without opening it.

Enter it on Apple’s own checker
Go to checkcoverage.apple.com and type the serial in. This is Apple’s site, not ours.

Read what it tells you
Apple confirms the model it holds against that serial and whether repair and support coverage is active. If the model shown is not the model you are buying, walk away — from us or from anyone.
One thing that surprises people: on a brand-new sealed device, Apple often reports that the purchase date has not been validated yet. That is normal and it is not a red flag — the clock starts when the device is activated or when proof of purchase is supplied. Your iTey Store receipt is that proof, so keep it.
Every Apple device we sell is brand new, sealed and never activated, sourced through licensed distributors, and carries the manufacturer warranty. If a check ever comes back wrong on something you bought from us, bring it back.
Buying MacBook Pro 16-inch M5 Max in Kenya
The 16-inch MacBook Pro M5 Max is the laptop iTey sells to working senior engineers, video studios, and AI researchers who need a portable workstation. The decisions here are different from the category-level MacBook conversation — at this price point, the buyer is usually replacing a desktop, and the trade-offs are sharper.
16-inch M5 Max vs Mac Studio M5 Max — when portability is worth the premium
Per-watt, the desktop Mac Studio M5 Max outperforms the 16-inch MacBook Pro M5 Max under sustained load — bigger thermal envelope, no battery to nurse. But the MacBook Pro lets you take the same workload to a client's office, a co-working space, or a Kenyan power cut. If you have one location and a stable desk, Mac Studio is the smarter spend. If you genuinely move between locations weekly, the 16-inch Pro earns its premium.
M5 Max vs M5 Pro on the 16-inch — what actually changes
M5 Max adds GPU cores and unified memory bandwidth. For most engineering and creative work, M5 Pro at 24GB or 48GB is enough. M5 Max becomes worth the additional KSh 60,000–100,000 when you (a) edit 8K video or composite heavily, (b) train or fine-tune ML models locally, or (c) run 70B+ parameter local LLMs alongside an active development workload. For ordinary code-and-Docker work, M5 Pro is the smarter spec.
Memory — 48GB is the spec we steer most 16-inch buyers toward
At the 16-inch tier, the realistic minimum is 48GB. macOS, Docker, Chrome with 30+ tabs, an IDE with full project indexing, and a local LLM tool will quickly chew through 36GB. 48GB is the comfort spec; 64GB+ is the local-LLM spec. RAM is soldered — under-buying here cannot be fixed in two years' time.
Battery on the 16-inch under heavy load — the honest number
Apple's 22-hour claim is for video playback. Real-world heavy use — IDE, Docker, video calls, frequent compilations — gives 9–12 hours on a 16-inch Pro. That is still better than every Windows competitor at this price point, and easily a full Kenyan workday including the matatu commute home. Light loads regularly hit 15+ hours.
Heat and fan noise — what surprised some of our buyers
The 16-inch Pro is the quietest 16-inch laptop we have ever sold — fans only spin up under sustained heavy GPU load. For everyday code-and-meeting work, the laptop is effectively silent. Fans do come on noticeably during long video exports or full Xcode rebuilds — but never reach the whine of a Windows gaming laptop. Bring your headphones for video editing sessions just in case; for everything else, the silence is a quiet quality-of-life upgrade.
Who should buy the 14-inch Pro instead
Buy the 14-inch Pro instead if you (a) travel by air weekly — the 16-inch's extra weight (about 600g more) becomes meaningful, (b) work in cramped spaces (matatu, café tables, train tray-tables), or (c) primarily code rather than edit video — the screen size difference matters less for IDE work than for timeline work. Performance per tier is identical between 14 and 16; you pay the 16-inch premium for screen and battery, not power.
