  1. Getting this immediately !! It IS an iPhone 5 minus the call and text capabilities ! Using a Galaxy Nexus as my phone.

    • ikaw na! you’re the one!

    • +1 Same here! The blue’s gonna be perfect with my light blue headphones.

      Gonna sell my 4G for this.

    • well actually it’s an iPhone 4S with the 5’s screen. I’m also getting this and selling my 4S and use a Lumia 920 as a phone :)

    • Same here! Gonna sell my 4G for this.

    • me too! and my phone is S2

  2. bibili na lang ako ng SGS2

  3. before you go flying out of the proverbial door to buy one… have you guys considered the new 5th gen iPod will need the new connector used by the iPhone5. This means this device will NOT be compatible to all existing previous model iPod/iPhone devices like speaker docks, car headunits, etc.

    Or did I get it wrong and this device still uses the same standard connector??

    • Easy. Just purchase a Lightning adapter. $30 lang naman. Cheapy.

      GST means goods and services tax, if anyone’s asking.

    • Yes, it uses the same lightning Connector as iPhone 5. It is shipped with the unit. You can still use those old speaker dock or any gadget that was used from previous iPod version by using the 30pin to lightning adaptor

    • What’s your point exactly ? If you have an bought iPhone 4s, for example, it has a 30 pin adaptor for it. So has the iPhone 5. And, what do you mean by “headunit” ?

    • $30 = PHP1,260.00 for each adapter…

      That is how much more money Apple is milking out of your wallets by using proprietary connectors on their “new” devices. Honestly, Apple didn’t need to use a different connector but in their quest for more money from all their loyal fans, they did use a “new” connector so that Apple will make hundreds of millions of dollars just from people buying new cables and connector adapters for the “new” iPhone5. And that will also spin into a new generation of iPhone5/iPod5 accessories as well.

      And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the marketing spin for the Apple iPhone5.

    • ^ Wow we have an engineer that knows better than Apple ladies and gentlemen!

      Lol. Do you honestly think they would achieve that thinness with their old connector?? Have you seen how thin the new Nano is?? Have you dissected an Apple product and saw how big the components of their old connector was?? Yeah, I thought so.

      If Apple was after the people’s money, then they could’ve change their connectors every year! Do you know how long they’ve used the old connector? Yup, nine (9) years. Lol and do you honestly think 3rd party accessories won’t make their own adapters with the fraction of the cost? Please, do some research before posting here. It makes you sound stupid.

    • @lol

      Apple made their plugs proprietary, so only those licensed by Apple can manufacture them (or pay Apple a royalty).

      Profit is Apple’s game.

      Stop commenting, it’ll just make yourself look even more stupid.

    • You’re forgetting the fact that the Chinese will create cheap knockoffs in no time. And they work well, too.

    • I am not forgetting the chinese copies. But real hardcore Apple fans will still buy millions of original cables and cable adapters.

      Apple will rake in millions of dollars on top of it’s Apple iPhone5 sales in sales of iPhone5 accessories and royalties from 3rd party companies manufacturing them.

  4. It’s only 6.1mm wow!

  5. Just gonna wait for it to be sold locally. Buying directly from apple online is too expensive. And the gst just goes to corrupt officals.

  6. Just gonna wait for this to be available locally. Buying from apple online is too expensive and the gst tax goes to corrupt officials.

  7. Just gonna wait to be sold locally. Buying from apple online is too expensive and the gst goes to corrupt officials anyway.

  8. Ok na din mag price Apple ah. Mas mataas yung prices ng Samsung.

  9. Nice deal. Cheaper than Samsung models.

    • Cheaper than Samsung models? The Galaxy Players are cheaper than this.

    • You’re basically comparing… well, oranges with apples (no pun intended)… players vs phones? come on dude…

  10. Yayaaaa, i sooo want this!! go buy me na rin this new iPod touch, i think farang vagay sia sa headband coh!

  11. Yayaaa, i sooo want this!! go buy me na rin this new iPod touch, i think farang vagay siya sa headband coh!

  12. stupid..

  13. When will this be available in the market? :)

  14. i love this product and i had owned an ipod touch 3g. but this thing is expensive!

  15. Given that it has the hardware similar to iPhone 4s, its worth the price.

    • If thats the case then i must say the iphone4s is just overpriced for having one feature this does not have.telephony.anyway all apple products are just too overpriced.

  16. Gonna buy 10pcs

  17. Mas mahal pa to sa Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. Pero walang expandable storage. Mas maliit ang screen. Tapos pahirapan pa maglipat ng media files sa iTunes.

    Kapresyo na na Galaxy Tab 2. 7.0 na may full phone functionalities at 3g capabilities na.

    • May loop ba ang galaxy tab 2?does it have difrent colors?does it have an apple logo at the back?Noooo..hehehe!thats why..you know na,apple and its marketing strategy.di na mn to nka focus sa mga consumers katulad natin.fortunately most of us are not that stupid to be fooled by apple.

    • Galaxy tab 2 is a tablet, mp3 player naman si itouch, those are the main features nung 2 devices.
      According to preference and usage pa din, di naman ok na dala mo sa funrun si tab, mas ok si touch and pwede mo pa ilagay sa bulsa.. pricey nga lang kesa sa tab 2

    • Papi, yung orig na ipod medyo mahirap na dalhin kapag jogging. Umaalog alog sa braso o bulsa. Lalo na siguro ngayon nung lumaki ang screen.

  18. Ang mahal naman ng GST. Sir Yuga any explanation how taxes were implemented to gadgets here in the Philippines?

  19. No thanks. I’ll just wait for the iPad mini. I wonder how will be the pricing for this?

  20. Nice maganda din po ba to pang gamming?

    • Definitely, with it’s specs I’ m sure it will run smoother than its baby brother, iTouch 4G. Now I can finally retire my old iTouch and buy this baby. Maybe November is a good time buying this since there is still no news for its tethered jailbreak. I can wait for a few months.Heheh!

  21. I was expecting na pareho siya sa price globally. But if this is the case, I would opt for a smartphone instead.

    • Yep… they are priced the same… tanggalin mo GST halos pareho na… magkakaiba kasi GST per country…

  22. I’d rather get a nexus 7. Its way cheaper and more functional.

    • In what way ? Each has his own purpose. Whilst the Nexus 7 is a tablet, the iTouch 5 has an A5 chip, powerful camera and retina display.

  23. bibili lang ako neto kapag may untethered jailbreak na :). astig yan kapag may tweaks na from cydia.

  24. I think I’m gonna wait until December. My brother’s gf is going home from the States. I’ll just ask her to buy me one for $299.00. Plus discount, if ever, by asking her company to buy it for her. YEHEY!!!!!

  25. I so want this for Xmas!!

  26. baba kaya price nyan pag nirelease na dito?

  27. Hmm so sir if i buy this locally i just deduct the GST and that will be the retail price locally in power mac centers?

  28. So, Is it the same date of releasing it. When I watched the video podcast it will be ship at October,

    SO THIS IS THE QUESTION.

    Q: October? world wide?

  29. hmmm… sa amazon 299 pa rin… :( gusto ko sana may engraving….

  30. yes its an ipod.. so it can’t make or receive calls? or sms? just clarifying things.

    hope it does!
