Wew says:
Ang mahal pa din ng 5c… Konti lng diperensya sa 5s… I think 10k pataas price difference nila…
abuzalzal says:
LOL mga bulk buyers yan
Ang mahal ng presyo says:
mahal na nga iPhone, mahal pa pamasahe. Regular Pinoys won’t bother going there. Antay-antay nalang pag may time. :)
Aries says:
Pagdating sa Pinas nyan sigurado nasa 36k-38k na. :( Kelan kaya tayo magkakaroon ng apple store sa Pinas? surely pag nagkaroon tayo bababa din price ng mga resellers.
abuzalzal says:
First wave of iPhone 5 units retailed at around Php45-48k…mura pa nga yan lmao
John says:
Sir, available na po ang iPhone 5C for pre-order sa Kimstore at 28,180!
mang kanor says:
iDiot….
abuzalzal says:
Lol at these folks for wasting their valuable time and money just to get the latest iPhone. Sure, you can buy it there for cheap but the flight costs aren’t worth it. Stupid people who want to look cool by going there and posting to social networking sites just to brag that they’re willing to go as far as going overseas just to get the latest iPhone. They’re no different from those WP8 fanboys who brag a lot about their shiny-ass OS. What a bunch of moronic idiots!
zer0ice says:
Pathetic. Disgusting even.
abuzalzal poser #4 says:
Kaya ganito bansa natin dahil may mga TANGA na katulad nitong mga pumipila. Haaaayst!
Miss Call says:
If I am not one of the firsts of those to own an iPhone 5S, what will I miss?
anokamo says:
Katangahan to the next level!
Meril Feliz says:
Yung mga nag sasabi ng pathetic at naiinis sa mga lumipad sa HK para bumili ng iPhone 5S, sa madaling salita, mga INGGITERO AT INGGITERA lang kayo HAHAHAHA!!!
Louie O. says:
I don’t understand why a lot has to be so bitter with people who can afford to buy an iPhone. They just happen to have money that’s why and it’s their choice… If you can’t buy then just shut up… I have a nothing against Android users but I just hate people who continue to bash Apple or vice versa… Let’s all be contented with what we can afford… Peace everyone…
Mirror says:
I also agree that they may look stupid and irrational in going there just to become the very first owners of the iphone 5s. But maybe some of them are resellers or bussinessmen. Whatever may be there decisions if sariling pera nila at di nakaw, wala na tayong paki non. Sourgraping lang talaga yong iba.
abuzalzal says:
”just shut up”??
well well, hijo, forum / comment section ito, lahat tayo may freedom of speech, no? you don’t tell people to ”shut up” just because you don’t agree to their thoughts and ideas.
Every person has their own moral standards and therefore, they have EVERY right to voice out what/how they feel
Am I right hijo????
You STFU.
abuzalzal says:
that message was for YOU Louie O.

Honestly, kuntento n ako sa aking ever faithful nokia 5110. Hindi ito high tech na android or functional na bb10, or spartan na ubuntu, Wlang real time auto video nakakabit sa tracker kya d ako mahuli ni misis sa aking kulasisi. Wlna rin call pairing tracker auto kya d alam ni misis tawag ni kulasisi. Maiwan k man sa resto if kumain ibabalik ng guard sa akin for sure, kalat lang daw. At mgandang pandikdik ng bawang at sili sukang sawsawan sa pulutan sa tomang barkada.
manokero says:
Dito ako sa HK apple store nakapila pa,pero nxt in line na. yahooo xcited. mamaya sa Marco polo Hotel ko iexplore kung ano ang bago.
AsusFan says:
Yaan nyo na mga yan, may pambili sila eh… Nganga na lang tayong mga mahihirap…
Tapos after one week may mga magrereklamo sa Forums na na-snatch iPhones nila…
Abang na lang yung iba sa GH…. Hehehehe!
Stu says:
Hi guys! If I buy an iPhone5S unlocked in the US, will it work in the Philippines?
sean says:
Filipino stupidity at its grandest
none says:
anu ba pake alam nyo.. e may mga pera nmn cla.. lumalabas mga bitter lng kayo.. kc hangang dito lng kayo sa pinas nd android lng afford nyo!!
zarne says:
So what is the big deal about this article’s headline? Obviously those people have money to spend, so good for them. Why should we care about how people spend their own money? They will help the local economy moving by spending on gas/bus/taxicabs,foods at the airport and plane tickets. The only shame is if they did not fly there by PAL. But again, it’s their own money so we don’t have a say on how they fly.
silentwarrior says:
Nakakahiya namang basahin mga comments dito. Bakit pinapayagan ng Yugatech ang ganitong klaseng comment section na napakababa ng quality, bordering sa level ng hindi sibilisado. Guys, respeto na lang siguro sa isa’t-isa. Hindi nakakatuwa ang flaming na nangyayari na lang lagi dito sa Yugatech comment section.
triptriplang says:
Daming bitter dito hahahahaha
charles says:
Let it be! because apple is apple. they build good products and supporting it with the up to date software and patches!.. wag na tayo bitter.
Abiel says:

tmcr7 says:
Huwag naman niyong sabihing tanga yung mga Pilipinong pumipila sa HK para bumili ng iPhone. To be fair, hindi lang mga Pilipino ang mga lahi ng nakapila don. :))
Ksksksks,sm says:
Ang daming hampas-lupang squatter dito sa comment section. Mamatay kayo sa inggit mga sore and bitter losers. You can’t afford an iPhone.
