November 28, 2017 ALIV was proud to have announced its strategic partnership with Apple Incorporated as well as the official launch of the much-anticipated O X in time for the Christmas holidays.

According to Chief ALIV Officer Damian Blackburn, ALIV will offer the iPhone X, the future of the smartphone, starting on December 15, 2017. Customers will be able to pre-order the iPhone X immediately at www.bealiv.com. The announcement was made at ALIV Headquarters during a press conference Monday (November 27).

The strategic partnership according to Mr. Blackburn is one that will allow ALIV customers to stay on the cutting edge of technology especially when it relates to the latest in Apple iPhone products.

“Our goal at ALIV is to always provide our customers with the latest smartphones and technology and that is what we are doing here today. We know this is a busy retail season and we also know that these phones are in high demand all over the world and The Bahamas won’t be left out. We want everyone to be on the cutting edge. Our goal is to always meet and surpass expectations and we believe this partnership with Apple will allow us to do just that.”

Chief Aliv Solutions Architect Dwayne Davis explained the iPhone X’s key features which sets it above the rest when it comes to the smart phone.

“What we’re doing now is running pure network tests. What I like about the phone was that over the weekend as we were preparing it after Apple cleared it, in setting it up all I had to do was take any Iphone from 6 to 7, place it close to it and it automatically transferred everything. The phone was set up in less than 15 minutes.

We also talked about the facial recognition, if I was to look at the phone and swipe up it opens automatically, the phone is faster than the traditional iPhone, it has an all glass casing and it uses a standing charger. The technology in it is overall better and as you can see, it’s already Aliv.”

Aliv launched the iPhone8 and iPhone8+ in all of its stores on Black Friday, November 24. These phones and many more will be available on the ALIV website, all ALIV stores throughout the country and from ALIV’s concierge service – so for customers who are not able to come to ALIV, or concierge service will go to them.

ALIV has the best package deals so all Bahamians are encouraged to take advantage of the latest deals and offers which can be found on all ALIV social media pages, all newspapers, in ALIV stores as well as online.
