People have been asking me how much would the newly announced iPhone 4 will be priced once it arrives in the Philippines. There’s no exact answer to that but it doesn’t mean we can’t make a guesstimate.
When the iPhone 3GS was announced last year by Apple, they placed the post-paid price of the 16GB and 32GB at $199 and $299, respectively. The iPhone 4 is also at that same price point.
When the iPhone 3GS was officially announced by Globe, its official/exclusive Philippine carrier, the prices are as follows:
iPhone Prepaid Kits
iPhone 3GS 16GB – Php38,850
iPhone 3GS 32GB – Php42,250
Globe Regular Postpaid Plans (16GB)
Plan 500 – Php29,500
Plan 800 – Php25,350
Plan 1200 – Php23,100
Plan 1800 – Php19,050
Plan 2500 – Php11,850
Plan 3500 – Php3,950
Plan 5000 – Free
Plan 7000 – Free
Plan 10000 – Free
Globe Regular Plans (32GB)
Plan 500 – Php35,100
Plan 800 – Php30,950
Plan 1200 – Php28,700
Plan 1800 – Php24,650
Plan 2500 – Php17,450
Plan 3500 – Php9,550
Plan 5000 – Php1,000
Plan 7000 – Free
Plan 10000 – Free
Barring any other factors, including foreign exchange rates and other tariffs, we can expect the iPhone 4 to be within a close vicinity of these prices if not exactly the same (I’d give it a 10% variance).
Globe has recently discounted the prices of the remaining iPhone 3GS in their inventory which supports the premise of this theory.
Here’s one thing I think I’m very confident of — the iPhone 4 16GB will be free on Plan 5000 and the iPhone 4 32GB will be free on Plan 7000.
The earliest expected availability of the iPhone 4 is September but Globe insiders peg it at 4th quarter of this year.
nice……..
ARE ALL IPHONE 4 DESIGNED IN US CALIFORNIA AND MADE IN CHINA?? MATERIALS ARE FROM USA??
How often does Apple deliver iPhone4s to Globe PH?
We just ordered…about 3 days na.
just wanna ask you guys about how many days or weeks or even months will you receive your iPhone4?
And
Does MYSUPERUNLI 599 exceed prices?
I mean we had iPhone3G and we brought it back to Globe after paying the bills. Plan2k+ I think.. and after 2 months the bill was 10k+ . I said WHOAAA!
that’s too big. because I was in a Month Unlimited Texts Globe to Globe . and I had’nt called much after I subscribed to that.. and still the bills were “higher than I expected” . turns out I’m not the only one who knows that Globe sucks. But What Can I Do?
I want iPhone4 so badly. That it Had’nt Come up to me that Globe’s bills are “off-the-capacity” .. though I hope it does’nt exceed that much. :)
Please I need Answers A.S.A.P.
Thanks So Much Guys!
Godbless and Have a nice week!
by the way there is no antenna issues..try it and you will love it..FACE TIME..SKYPE AND HUNDRED OF THOUSAND APPLICATIONS WHOOOOOOOOAAAAAHHHHHHHH..LOVE IT TLAGA!
@yujinroy i got one from singapore last august the price is almost the same price here..i think apple has only one price in any country and bcoz of that it will avoid to smuggle the product..in singapore they love iphone than any smartphone available there..like benz vs. japanese car hehehe..iphone is like benz.
I think Iphone4 is good, except for its very popular “Death grip” problem, where if held a certain way (sad to say, the conventional way) , the signal of the carrier drops down.
Now, I have read many articles regarding this, and I am wondering if this happens to globe? does it?has anyone here tried to see if that “death grip” problem occurs?
@ 50k you can play unreal engine games on iphone4 and that’s cheap, btu im also getting 3ds.
But it would be hard to use this phone on public.

A matter of choice… if you have money to spend, why not? So many comments about iPhone being overpriced here in the Philippines… I think they just want to pressure telcos to lower their price so that these people could afford it… If telcos changes the price of the iPhone to a much affordable one, more people buying=more revenue! So I don’t agree with these people who bashes telcos because of “overpricing”, be contented with what you have, kung wala kang pambili, manahimik ka na lang!
@dennison
I have to correct you sorry:
-Iphone 4 has flash and has multitasking
-There are thousands of freebie apps and a good app wld cost you like 43 pesos. Those highly priced ones even goes on sale or even for free
-I have never heard anyone had experienced dropped calls or bad signal, in my area that is. I also havent encountered any from my network. If you are referring to the US issue then it doesnt affect other countries
-bad earphones? Havent really heard of any phone company that offers a fab one. Also, you can always replace it with a good and fancy one
I agree on the expensive part but really you’re not buying it just for the “coolness” of it. If you ever get one, lemme know how you find it. Ãœ sorry i cant help but correct your misconception.
I personally think that the iPhone 4 is overhyped. Among its issues are:
1. dropped calls / signal loss
2. too expensive
3. no flash
4. no multitasking
5. terrible battery life
6. expensive apps
7. bad headphones
8. looks good but hard to hold / handle
Still, it’s the COOLNESS factor that make many go after it.
iPhone 4 will be released by Globe Telecom on September 26, 2010..
Prices are below…
16GB – 37499
32GB – 43499
Already reserved one!!
bought mine at mega exchange sm moa 3 weeks ago for 63+k, so far its been my game companion. lol! but kidding aside, i love the fact that i dont have to go and open my laptop just to surf the internet, watch videos or download files, chat, etc. it just looks so fragile and cant help but be extra careful.
buy iphone in sg..aroung P30k lang…ang catch eh 3weeks delivery…got mine already…i cant find micro sim in globe, and they said pang ipad palang…so I cut my sim…ayun…it worked naman…:))
Lol, that specs for that price? It’s not worth it, there are a lot of phones out there that would entirely make a big difference on that price than the Iphone 4.
It’s the name that you pay for anyway XD
It’s better to spend Php 50,000 for a decent Notebook or a high-end Desktop PC than for just a phone that has reception problems. Only an idiot would spend a lot of money for a phone.
Come on, i realized that majority of those who are willing to buy iPhone 4 are total fanboys/Apple evangelizers! Please, learn to spend your money wisely at least…because money isn’t that easy to earn nowadays. Wise people think before they do something.
Try nyu mag iPhone4 with Brothers In Arms 2, parang nka XBOX360 kayo..hehehe..ganda talaga!
iPhone4 Estimated price 16gb = 48,500
32gb = 52,500
Lol… Postpaid yan naka 2 years sa atnt yan.. Pag no contract po 600 $ po ang unit na 16gb. 700$ 32gb.
hmm tanung q lang.. dba conversion ngaun ng dollar to peso was estimated $1 = 46 php..tama ba? Kung tama, ang price said frequently for 4g 16gig and 32gig was less than 14K php..hmm.. kahit kasi sa internet yung 3gs ay around $199 to $299 equivalent again to less than 14K php dito saten in terms of dollars na sinabi.. hayz hehe pakiexplain nga .. I HIGHLY APPRECIATE THAT HAHA :) THANKS.. nikz..
Sad to say but globe will launch iphone 4 sometime in October not September got that info from Globe officer, would rather get Samsung Galaxy S.
