Guesstimate: iPhone 4 Price on Globe

iPhone 5 is coming next year Q2..

nice……..

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!

@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.

@ 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!

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.

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.

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

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

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..

53,400 – 32GB

how much is your iPhone 4G? and where can i buy it?

too costly guys..ANTENNAE ISSUE, not affected in SG! prices will be 16G SGD 880+ around 29k+ & 32G SGD 1048 around 34.5k+ jan satin not practical coz limited lng un WIFI area..d2 required ata kse lhat ng tao nka iphone even elementary kids! kse WIFI spot almost lhat ng location even MRT STATION.

My guess 45k to 53k on prepaid ,

i couldnt agree more to crazy_cavitena .. iphone 4 is a bomb elsewhere on developed countries,, it cost about 859$ for 16GB and 999$ for 32GB here in sydney,, its just sad to say that phils is a long way back the track on acquiring new phones like this,, coz in real world its really affordable and fits normal lifestyle with its functionality.

@daniel (91) : That’s because the iPhones bought in US comes with a 24-month contract with AT&T.

Anyway, I’m guessing the prepaid kit will fall on the 40-45k price range.

I’m thinking of getting an iPhone plan or something.But with those issues with the iPhone 4 and iOS4, I think I’ll just get a 3GS, or better yet, stick to my 5800.

WITH ANTENNAE ISSUES IT SHOULD BE LOWER

I am very excited for this but I want it cheaper though, haha.. but 42k for 32gb with retina display, capable of recording HD videos and LED flash plus a front facing camera with 500+ Ram in it seems like a good way to go. :D if it’s really 42k for iphone 4 32gb, I will definitely get one for me!

Apple products are not for everyone. It’s a shame the prices here in the Phils is higher than in Japan where the salaries are so much higher.

Istore rep told me iPhone 4 would be here in July. Boloney! I’ll bet it won’t be here till December. HK! Factory unlocked is the way to go. Get a round trip ticket on Cebu PAC and still save!

I wanna buy the new iphone or iphone 3gs however my problem is i don’t use Globe and I have no plans of using it

hi! I just to comment on the other post saying that Iphone is not that popular in other countries. That’s not true. It’s a big craze here in the US. If you google new about Iphone sales you’ll see that people are practically waiting in line for 5 or more hours just to get them. I work at the AT&T call center in LA for their business department and even CEOs of major companies are asking for them. Blackberry devices are still popular in the corporate world but people are slowly turning to Iphones because they’re more user friendly, have lots of great applications and are now compatible with Microsoft Outlook for their corporate emails. And Iphones are pretty affordable here too. There’s hardly any price difference between the Android phones. And i think that the reason why many developed countries like the Iphones is because they work really well in their networks. All the features that Steve Jobs boasted work well here. My brother and some friends have the new iphone 4s already and they really like it, they could not hope for any better phone. I’m actually waiting for the white version that will come out in mid-July.

it’s very unreasonably priced here in the philippines.
Or scratch that. it has a reason why it’s so ill-priced. But all the supposed hype and taxes that add up to that oh-forsaken amount of money to pay for an iphone 4 just adds up to the reason why i should search for other smartphones which will definitely show my practicality now.

php20,000

what is 879 euro or usd?

I don’t care about those apple iphone 4 haters out there, insecure lang cla kasi di nila ma afford. basta aq, mag kokolecta aq ng mga apple products despite of the lacking features.

Para sa mga apple users jan cool kau! sa mga Nokia users well,…ang cheap nyo!:)

php46465.00

Pag nadikit sa skin mawawala ang signal waaaahhh…. unless maglagay na lang ng Bumper Cases hehehe…fail fail fail…

My estimate amount is P46,475.00

44250

Ganda Features ng iPhone 4 but you’ll have to buy to make it work useless yung facetime kung hindi iPhone to iPhone. the video feature is also awesome.

I hope it won’t be price too much here so that many can buy

@JOY – confirm sighting ba yung SM MANILA OR MOA Globe MicroSims?

I just want to try the speed of their 3G.

Currently using Smart MicroSim now with the 3G iPad.

So far mabilis naman.

According to my theory it will be possible to use the data only Sims of SmartBro Plug-it for the iPad.

@AJ don’t forget the iPad 3G which requires micro SIM.

@ efren sy try to go to sm manila (globe telecom) or in moa or glorietta. check them out.

@Yuga – Sir saan particular globe business center may Micro Sim

Galing na ko sa Globe Valenzuela wala pa daw lahat.

I would like to test the speed sana

guys ask ko lang kung open na sila for reservation?
nagtanong kasi ako after ng launch ng 4, tapos sabi nila wala pa daw advisory about sa product.

thanks

even if a have money lying around.. hindi ko pa rin bibilhin yan. overhyped-overpriced.

why are electronics cheaper in Hong Kong and Singapore and so much expensive in the Philippines.

Obama said: “CORRUPTION!!!”

Please don’t post your blog url here. So annoying to see. Nawawalan ako ng gana basahin yung comments.

Economics lg yan with a little psychology.

Law of suplly and demand plus the people like to show off iPhones and they feel that they holding the most SMARTest phone. So that would be the causes of that price.

@Dhan

Good point. Haha. But yeah, if they would get more loyal subscribers, the more money they get to stuff their pockets with. Win-Win I guess. Why won’t they subsidize phones and maybe just lengthen the lock-in period to get their money back?

If subscribers like their service, they wouldn’t even bother switching to another carrier.

@Jon, I couldn’t agree more. Same thoughts although I don’t think Globe is after the loyalty of its customers, more like their pockets :D.

to be released by the 4th Quarter?.. in time for the Holiday bonus huh!

HAHA. Another cash cow for Globe. I kinda feel sorry for people paying so much for a “hyped-up” and overrated phone.

No wonder people prefer to get prepaid SIMs and get their phones from their “suking tindahan” in Greenhills.

Tip for telcos: Try not to overprice phone and their bundled plans. It definitely pushes subscribers away. Come on, there are a lot of ways you can earn more money. After all, its the loyalty of subscribers you are after, right?

@abeolandres On iPhone4 prices, heard (cheaper, unlocked) units in SEA countries like HK & SG. Would you know if there’s any truth to this?

Geez… so i guess this means I’ll be saving up TWICE for the rainy days… September… umm, I think I’ll wait til Christmas to get an iPhone 4. Or maybe buy a factory unlocked one from HK then. :)

If Apple wants to dominate the phone market then dominate Nokia! Smartphone for the future the future is now! Philippines should be in smartphones like iOS or Android btw I like the nokia N900 and the N8 :D

My guesstimate… $199 = 38k +500 plans yeah… that will dominate the market alright.

will this only be available through Globe Telecom in the PH? i have an iPhone plan with my 3GS via Globe and they’re charging us customers an arm and a leg.

To those wondering how telcos come up with device prices – it’s basically based on the cost given by the device manufacturer. Globe/Smart doesn’t make money on the device – in fact most times they subsidize it.

So why would prices of iPhones be cheaper in HK than in the Philippines? My guess is that it’s more because of volume than anything else. Globe commits a certain volume to purchase from Apple, and depending on this volume, Apple prices the iPhones at an amount. Unfortunately, since the Philippines is still a Nokia country and income is not comparable to other countries, high-end phones do not sell as much as Hongkong or the US. So the volumes aren’t that high – thus, the iPhone cost is high to Globe, and this cost is passed on to its subscribers.
