How much does Iphone cost in the Philippines?
Updated October 2012:
For those who plan to buy an Iphone through Globe Telecom, refer to the table below:
| iPhone 4S | Unli Surf Combo 1799 | iPhone 4S Prepaid Kit** |
| 16GB | P4,800 | P36,690 |
| 32GB | P10,080 | P42,490 |
| 64GB | P15,096 | P48,290 |
*P1,799 monthly service fee + P200 monthly cashout payable via 0% Citibank credit card payment installment up to 24 mos.
To date, Globe Telecom has not yet published prices for Iphone 5 on their website.
Although the Apple website endorses Globe Telecom as the official "seller" of iphone in the Philippines, many Filipinos still prefer to buy their iphones from other sources. One common reason for this is the price offered by Globe for their iphone units. Iphones from Globe are far more expensive than units sold by "non official" iphone sellers. Thus, many prefer to buy their iphone from other sources.
Where do Filipinos buy their iphones other than from Globe Telecom?
1. Online shops (sulit, ebay, multiply). When buying an iphone online, make sure to check the feedback and credibility of your seller. Be also cautious with deals that are too good to be true particularly because fake iphones are also sold online. You may think that you got your iphone 4 for only five thousand pesos only to realize later that it isn't the real iphone.
2. Pawnshops. Although iphones that are sold in pawnshops may have been brought there by their legitimate owners, it is also likely that some of these iphones are stolen goods.

I hear you! And totally agree with how things are being promoted the cost for the 2nd gen iphone would equal the 1st iphone.
We still need to wait and see as what would happen, crossing my fingers that it would be affordable or rather reasonable.
I honestly believe that the iphone 3G will not be sold for less than 20 k here in the Philippines. See this post http://cantalktech.com/2008/06/28/price-of-iphone-3g-in-the-philippines/
I am one of the lucky ones who bought an iPhone on the day of release here in Washington DC area (July 11). I had to pre-order my phone and it arrived 3 days later. People who waited the next day (July 12) will now wait between 21 - 30 days for their phone. And the backlog keeps growing. I hope you guys get the iPhone out there in the Philippines sometime this year. I doubt. The inventory has depleted and more people here in the US (their largest market) want one and are not getting any. The new iPhone 3G is like no other. It's unfortunate you guys pay a fortune for this. Why can't Globe subsidize the price for you guys the way AT&T did ours, I wonder?
Hi Archie,
The prices I have mentioned above are just speculations. Globe is offering the iphone 3g to prepaid users which explains the price. Maybe Globe can subsidize for the cost of the iphone 3g but only for those subscribers paying more than $100 a month. Unfortunately, many Globe post paid subscribers are under 50 dollars a month.We even have this 100 peso a month subscription, (thats around 3 dollars).
My bestfriend bought me 2 b/new iphone 3g in new jersey last week for about $250 each (blackmarket price) very cheap indeed but i need to unlock it here in manila and it only cost me around 500pesos.
Wow Yohanz, that is really cheap! This means that there really is an iphone 3G blackmarket. Gee... I hope I can find one that sells for less than 300 dollars, I checked out ebay.ph and the locked iphones cost 50,000 pesos!!
I personally see that iPhone 3G 8GB would be priced between 8K-12K 16GB would be between 13K-17K.
[...] Yohanz, for example, who left a comment in my post Price of Iphone 3G in the Philippines says that her friend was able to buy brand new iphone 3G for only $250 per unit in New Jersey and the iphone was unlocked here in the Philippines. [...]

..mahal nman ng iphone 3g!--> 48K samantalang 14K lng kung bibilhin mu sa store..npakaexpensive
i dont get it.. why 3gs is so expensive here in phils..when i searched for apple iphone U.S, it's only $199 for 16gb 3gs..thats only almost 10K in peso..
Haha, nakakatawa naman ang mga tao dito. $199 is contract price. Plan yun!! LOL! Sa globe nga FREE eh @ plan 4999! LOL
the iPhone 3G looks very cool and feature packed. i will be saving some of my allowance to buy that phone.
I would defineteley buy apple 3 GS in the U.S were price is fair and then goes to the cell phone shop ( in greenhills) when im back in the philippines that could unlock. I have many friends done that thing already. Rather buying this at globe, and infact not all areas in Makati/ Philippines are hot spot that you could use the wifi. Its very limited.
I would rather buy Nokia N97, Sony Erickson Xperia or other touch screen phone. Rather than this phone
Iphone 3G is so packed of features and it really looks cool too. I own one iPhone 3G and i am planning to buy another one for my girlfriend.
iPhone 3G is best phone ever released. it has great styling and has nice cool features that is why i like it so much.
pano naman ako nakakasiguro na maganda yang iphone nyo eh ang mahal pa $199 nlang po
mura nlang yan
iPhone 3G is simply the best phone that i have owned. It is very stylish and its nice features. I also own an N97 but i like the iphone.
the first batch of iPhone 3G was a bit pricey but now the price is more affordable than before. I bought two units of iPhone 3g and i am amazed of this phone.
last year me and my brother bought an iPhone 3G. it is a great phone with lots of functionality and great styling too.
The processor is labeled as just a bit newer model number however it and the GPU are likely the same speed since the 3GS. The old Contact using the similar CPU and GPU as the 3G was quicker. Besides having the clock pace turned up greater the Touch has much less software programs to run since it is not a phone. It ought to defeat any iPhone to day in overall performance.
Actually....Nokia or other brands of phone cannot reach the level of APPLE because apple focuses on the phones apps and games...giving new and fresh addition to the already great app selection of the iPhone..NOKIA doesn't really pay much attention to these stuffs...even now.. n97 has a ton of bugs and not a lot of apps and games to go around with....
iPhone 3G is a great phone but i wish that they could drop the price;,,
the iphone 3G looks cooler and stylish than blackberry-*~
i love the iphone 3g compared to blackberry or even the google android phone"*.
iphone 3G will always be my best phone, it is fully packed with features and it is very easy to use ;
