the price is steep
no thank’s
uhmm… 38k for iphone…. no way!!!
wow!!!! do i need to buy this phone in this time of global crisis?? duh!!!!! ANG MAHAL!!
thanks for the info yuga..
Too expensive for a regular person like me… pero kung talagang fanboi ng apple.. pwedeng pag ipunan yan…
kahit ikaskas pa sa card for 12 months 0%interest o 24 para mas maliit ang monthy and justified na..
38-42k for phone hehehehe no thanks
i can get a netbook,media player,digicam and celphone for that price,me pang merienda pa..
maybe wait for the price to drop…
Correct! may pang yosi kpa.
bkt kaya sobrang mahal.. dba $200 lang yan sa US?
no way, too expensive..I’ll just stick with my nokia E63, he he he, the same functions , and I think E 63 is sexy.
@kelvin
welcome to the philippines
I told you it’s gonna be very expensive.
I think Globe Telecom (as always) never focused on the interest of middle earning citizens of this country. They are more concerned how much they would earn with all the crazed stuff apple brings to apple fans and especially emerging fanatics. I personally feel that globe telecom doesn’t want to bring this phone to the masses. that being said, i guess only “exclusive” or “rich” people can afford the steep prices without even considering the locked-in period of 2 years or 3 years. no, i won’t get this phone even if they offer me this for 20k!
Mahal naman tlga ang iphone. Mukhang mahal lang kc sa US eh 199 at 299 dollars. Pero kaya mura yan sa US eh kc may contract at postpaid yan. Kung titingnan niyo eh may free iphone pa sa mga plans. Don’t compare the prepaid price of Iphone sa US Postpaid price na may contract.
Hindi naman talaga pang masa ang Iphone. It’s a high-end branded phone so don’t expect na pang masa yan. May royalty pa ang Apple diyan kaya talagang mahal. Kaya better yet bumili na lang kayo ng netbook. Asus 1005HA will be available on July 14 sa pc corner for 22995 for the 2GB RAM and 160GB HDD version. It is CNET Editor’s Choice for June 2009 and Amazon’s no. 1 best seller. It has slimmer design, better features and longer batter life (advertised up to 10.5 hours).
$199 for 16GB sa states that would cost about $70 per month. nasa Plan 3500 – Php9,550 32GB. mas mura pa rin dito when it comes to plan. pero kung sa prepaid, mahal siya/ kasi it’s 30K sa australia ang 16GB and 38K for 32GB.
This is really great information.. Thanks for posting. errr,,but kinda expensive.
Nino Natividad
Yup, at least US$70 a month to have your cp working then US$30 to have the fulldata access (internet) which is mandatory for iPhone buyers plus the priec of US$299 for the 32 GB plus whatever sales tax (depends on what area) 9.25% where I’m from.
ur ryt Ian… kasi naman ung mga iba nde nag-iisip… nde nmn tama na icompare ang prepaid price natin dito sa 199dollars at 299dollars na postpaid plan sa US… nde naman tama na idemand na gwing 10000pesos at 15000pesos ng globe ang iphone sa prepaid… gusto nila eh ung $199 at $299 edi magplan cla sa globe at WAG MAG PREPAID.
great news,
2700 dirhams yan d2 sa dubai converted to peso will be 35,100php unit open line 32gb so konti lang ang difference mahal parin hehehe..saka na
correction 3gs 16b pala sorry…
Note to everyone that the $199 price of the 3GS in the US of A is actually a CONTRACT PRICE (post-paid cash-out price). No contract and locked prices of AT&T’s 3GS is $599 or PhP 30k, excluding taxes.
Sir Yuga, are the new, lowered prices of the iPhone 3G official already? If so, then when will they start to offer these new prices?
Raffy.A
And guess what… the new iphone has… gasp… “CUT AND PASTE”!!!!…
No thanks, 38k? common. id rather buy N97, besides, you can just jailbreak your itouch, it works like iphone na din. duh
being sold on gadgetgrocery.com 16gb-P44,000 and 32gb-P49,000.
i read on yahoo news, i think, about complaints na ang bilis daw uminit. baka daw i-recall.
i think i can wait a little longer.
Sa US that phone is a good deal for 199 and 299 for postpaid, kasi mataas naman ang income nila dun compare mo sa economic situation natin.
worth 38K and 42K for a cellphone that’s BS.
Sabi nga ng Microsoft “Don’t buy any self proclaimed hi-tech phones, we’ll have ours for you.”
i think they’re referring for the Zune Phone HD that will be coming out in early 2010.
Bill Gates is the master of piracy, and he wants to meet customers’ need for a phone.
iPhone 3GS downsides,
*No Multitasking
*3 megapixel Camera -VGA VIdeo
N97 captures DVD video
*No alphanumeric texting while on the go or driving..hehehe
But the real downside is the multitasking, one application at a time. tsktsk..
Well i guess i have to wait for the Zune Phone HD that would cost $349 unlocked for 16GB and $499 for 32GB. Let’s wait for the holidays to come.
totally absurd..isang malaking NO WAY!!!
nasasabi nyo lang yan dahil wala kayong pambili, hehe. but for me, even if i have millions to spare, wag na lang, donate ko na lang sa worldvision, for 40k you can send 66 kids to school in a month.
The prices are so Apple.
Expensive!!!with that amount I can buy a netbook and a high-end camera phone…tsk.tsk…
nakakadala yang GLOBE my sister bought an IPHONE 3G sa kanila prepaid kit.
ang after 4 months nasira so binalik namin for repair or exchange kasi may warranty.
sinabi ba naman na nabasa, and hindi sya covered ng warranty so ipapagawa na lang namin sa kanila. aba they are charging us 36K for the repairs ang kakapal talaga ng mukha
am rather confused with this info:
iPhone 3GS Prepaid Kits:
iPhone 3GS 16GB – Php38,850
iPhone 3GS 16GB – Php42,250

@ marvs
I presume the third price is for 32GB.
Globe’s 3G plans look more reasonable http://site.globe.com.ph/web/guest/iphone3g/iphone_offers?sid=m4i5nlxv2qvq1246849965092 . 13k for the 16 GB Iphone and 1600 per month.
Hi sir yuga, will globe offer zero interest 12 mnths for the prepaid kit?
that’s 4 PSPs already…. medyo mahal nga naman sha for our country…. hehe
I’ll just wait for 2019 before i buy the ipone, baka 1k na lang presyo nyan by that tym. u know!
netbook/phone combi pa din! hehehe!
I have a cheapskate friend from Australia who got an iPhone and it costs her AU$2 per month. Have I mentioned that the unit is free?
Globe is just a bunch of money-grubbing elitists.
actually, nakaka-inggit talaga kung iisipin…at talagang maganda ang iphone…but the price is the reason why a regular filipino like me can’t afford to buy at 35k plus…anyway, ok na rin naman ang 5110 for communication…
Too steep for a phone that’s been reported to heat up too much that the back changes color and people not getting through the whole day with enough battery life.

Haha….nkabili na ko sa Sydney, 1 month advance! 32GB pala dun, 39 pa rin nga lang…hehe.
This is too much for a phone.. but thanks for the info Yugger. =)
kanang iphone 3g 8GB dapat $50 lng walang plan…unlocked, kaso may sakit sa atay ang CEO nga gadiktar kaya mahal. his decission is influenced by his ailment…a bad one for good bisnis! nokia N98 clone is quite interesting.
gah i have an ipodtouch and wish got an iphone too .but its too expensive ,twice the price of my ipodtouch .haha
hope the price lowers a lil bit ,even just 3k ..haha then surely ill buy one ..
sisiw lng yn ky yuga.. iln n b iphone mo? ^_^
yeay! i’m gonna make a reservation on wednesday na!
wo i am totally getting.
waah,.. waiting for my iphone 3gs this july 25..
pre-ordered one yesterday, but the csr said ndi pa daw fixed ang prices. perhaps last minute changes will take effect depende sa orders? how laim.. nevertheless im still geting the new iphone. hehe..
It’s things like this makes me not proud to be..
Meron nko ng 3gs
and I think it’s nice
the only problem is wala p din multi tasking
I suggest samsung omnia 2 or jet sa mga low ang budget
it is not necessary to have this kind of phone now a days cellphone is way of communication not for style. so i rather make an ordinary cell phone than to much expensive.
this is so unfair., iphone 3g8GB is only 99dollars=5000php
iphone 3gs 8gb is only 199bucks= 8thou-10thou
so unfair
just BUY IN THE APPLE STORE! PHILIPPINES DOES NOT FOLLOW THE REAL APPLE PRICE! nakakainis nmn!!

http://store.apple.com/us?cid=OAS-US-DOMAINS-applestore.com

YEAH YOU ARE ALL RIGHT MAHAL ANG IPHONE 3gS dito sa pinas id rather stick with my n96 and ipod touch 32gb hehehehhe
bibili na lng ako ng apple na 22o 20pesos lng isang kilo.
OMG,….!
Nalula ako aahh,.!
haha,.!
@ cygenius
yang 199 at 299 ay may plan yan sa at&t. Wihtout the plan it’s 599 for 16gb and 699 for 32gb, I think.
i saw a poster at Globe business center that they are offering a plan for as low as 400 for iphone 3Gs. though not much fan of an iphone pero knowing that they have this kind of plan, it makes me want to apply.
What is the price difference in the U.S.?
Masmura sa US yan di ba?????
When you finally have the chance of owning the iphone… then you will know why its expensive…
I have read somewhere that it just cost about $199 in the states. Why here its for almost 39,000 pesos? I won’t even bite, even if Globe offer it half the price!
stupid ang GLOBE!!! Gahaman. Over pricing yan ah. Let’s just wait till Apple breaks that ties up with phone providers…
Globe Telecom does not deserve to be the official carrie for iPhone. Look at that… They overpriced the iPhone. Apple did not design it that way.. Pathetic ang globe. It simply shows that SMART is much more SMARTER than them..
Idiots talaga. Grrr… Nakakainis. I’m sure they will not stay long in the business because they are dammed. Stupid talaga. Nakakapikon.
Damn yeah! I agree Mortred. They are really doomed. They don’t deserve to be the channel of Apple products… It’s really a shame for Apple.
how much is the cash out iPhone 3GS? i already have the itouch 64 GB, ipod shuffle (new “4gb” and old one “1 and 2 GB”), ipod classic “32 GB” and nano “32 GB”, and also the Iphone 3GS “16 GB”.
so if anyone can tell me.
please tell me imediately.
tnx.
I MEAN THE CASH-OUT(not plan) iPhone 3GS.
arigatou gusaimasu!

You guys have to understand how Globe does its business… I have an iphone 3G 16gig from them, which I bought last year when they launched it for 43,799 (i opted for the prepaid) This is exactly how much you are going to pay if you’re going to get it from apple without a plan attached to it. I have a 32gig iPhone 3Gs from AT&T and paid $299 for the unit but I have a calling plan and a data plan that will set me back at least $90 (plus tax) a month and a lock in period of 2 years. So I pay more than $100 a month for service. That is like paying Php 5,000 a month for 24 months. But if you go on line and get an iphone without a subscription to a network (like the iphones in italy and australia, because it is illegal for phone companies to lock in phones to their network only), you’re expected to pay around at least $1,000. And if you buy it and bring it to the US, you’re stuck without warranty because they are only serviced at the country from which they were originally purchased.
To wrap things up, the iPhone is not for everyone… it won’t appeal to everyone, and won’t be affordable to everyone. Yet people rant like it is their God given right to demand from apple to bring down their prices to suit their buying power. an iPhone is like how a Mercedes is to cars. It is not for everyone, and not everyone can afford it, yet you do not hear a lot of people ranting and hating Mercedes Benz for having really expensive cars. My iPhone developed a crack and I went to apple to check why. I left the store with a brand new phone, no questions asked. Would Nokia ever do that for any of its customers? Its just typical of us Filipinos to sour-grape when things don’t go according to what we want them to be. I dream of one day owning a Lamborghini Murcielago, but I don’t go around lashing at Lamborghini for making really expensive cars. Just a thought.
Bat walang stock ang globe ng iphone? Gusto ko na kasi bumili kaso walang stock.
hey,, stop thinkin about the global crisis because it will just let you down! think positive,, actually you can have this for free if you believe, if you can buy it,, its great
yea ryt… you can order also thru apple iphone site na naka base sa pilipinas.. mas mura pa at converted ang price from usd to php..
kaya suggest ko lang na mas better to look up sa kanilang office here in philippine.. at yan sa globe hindi pa yan openline.. duh…
lam na nila na crisis ang mahal2 pa..
tca..
anyone interested of the new iphone 3gs?place your order here. 16 gb 35k , 32 gb 40k. prices are negotiable.
take note: never been opened and factory unlock.

Got one from Globe yesterday. I’m a new postpaid plan subscriber of Globe because of the iPhone.It only took us less than hour to process the application and get the iPhone 3GS 16 GB right then and there. iPhone ftw.
cool ang iphone.. i got one just this dec 12. it’s really expensive here. sigh.. but the apps are so damn cool
