Infinix NOTE 50 Pro Review
Whatever you think of the iPhone 4S, it will still be a huge hit and demands will most likely exceed supply (just like how it happened with the iPhone 4). But before we say if it’s really worthy buy or not, we still need to know how much it will cost once it lands in the Philippines.
We already have a baseline price which is the iPhone 4 Prepaid Kit when it was released in the Philippines by Globe Telecom 12 months ago.
iPhone 4 16GB – Php 37,499
iPhone 4 32GB – Php 43,699
I believe that price from Globe remains the same until today (correct me if I’m wrong though). It is very likely that the iPhone 4S will follow the same pricing table.
iPhone 4S 16GB – Php 37,499
iPhone 4S 32GB – Php 43,699
iPhone 4S 64GB – Php 49,899
The iPhone 4 will then be dropped a few thousand bucks:
iPhone 4 16GB – Php 32,499
iPhone 4 32GB – Php 37,499
If there are still remaining units in the stockroom, the iPhone 3GS 8GB will still be sold at Php15,899 on My Super Plan 299.
Globe will probably contemplate on the iPhone 4S pricing scheme and might lower it a bit. However, we’ve seen that the weakening US dollar of the Philippine Peso has even affected the prices of the iPod Touch on the Apple Online Store. The strong peso US Dollar will drive the price of the iPhone 4S higher than expected. It was Php1k higher for the iPod Touch 32GB and 64GB so it could be the same or double for the iPhone 4S.
These are just estimates. It could sway both ways but I’m thinking it won’t exceed +/- 10%. The release date is still far off — probably November or December so a few more things could happen to change these estimates.

By the time they release it here, Samsung Galaxy Note is already in the market and probably bought one already instead of Iphone 4s.
Apache says:
Sir Yuga in your opinion what will you go for iPhone 4S or Samsung Galaxy SII. ??
Abe Olandres says:
SGS2
123 says:
you mean there is greater demand of iphone 4s than that of iphone 4 when it was released? im thinking of there are more disappointed consumers then those excited switchers, just my observation per my reading over the internet.
Abe Olandres says:
Nope, not comparing demand for iPhone4s vs. iPhone 4. I meant the demand for the handset will be more than the supply Globe will have at release date.
jayo says:
I wonder how will the new iPhone reacts if you get pissed. Anyway, I should agree with 123. There are really lots of excited switchers, who probably will switch again for the next gen. Oh well, 4 is really a great phone and if you don’t own one, skip 4 and get 4s.

While in the US they are trying to bring the price of the iphone down. Here Globe is trying to bring the price higher. I’ll stick with my android.

deuts says:
“The strong peso will drive the price of the iPhone 4S higher than expected.”
— on the contrary a strong peso will drive the price of the item lower. Think of it like this, a P42 per US$ is a stronger peso compared to a P48 per US$.
BTW, I got my iPhone 4 back in November 2010 at plan P299 per month for 24 months plus a cash price of P27.2K+ only.

iphone 4 s Stands for Si-re an Electronic – Ai voice personal assistant — Android has vlingo long long time ago .. i dont think apple is revolutionary anymore.. they are just coping up with the technology
Balasubas says:
The strong peso should drive the prices lower, not higher, in normal conditions. However, the law of supply an demand will kick in, that’s why the higher prices – additionally, the markup for Globe’s profit. It has nothing to do with the weakening dollar or the strong peso.
Abe Olandres says:
@Balasubas @deuts – thanks for pointing that out. It’s actually the reverse. The effect is seen with the higher price of the iPod Touch one this release.
Balasubas says:
It’s the VAT and levies. While the peso is at 43.xx per dollar last September 2010 compared to 42.xx October this year, the VAT and levies (for 32GB iPod Touch) increased from:
September 2010: P2,477
October 2011: P4,025
Now, I’m not sure what caused the higher taxes.
