Globe to launch iPhone 4 on September 26

So this is it — the long wait is finally over! Sources tell me that the iPhone 4 from Globe Telecom will be arriving on September 26, 2010.

Globe Telecom account reps have been making calls to those who signed-up on that registration form and saying the iPhone 4 will be available by Sunday the 26th so if you’re one of them, expect a call too.

There’s no mention of pricing for the iPhone 4 but based on experience, Apple usually gives the go signal to the telco when the prices should be published and from the last time I remember it’s a few days before release date.

Those wondering how much it would go for — the 32GB iPhone 3GS prepaid kit on Globe is currently at Php39,995. The price of the iPhone 4 will play around that figure.

Will update once we get any tip on the price schedule of the iPhone 4 from Globe. See our full review of the iPhone 4 here.

Update: Price of the iPhone 4 Prepaid Kit is as follows:

iPhone 4 16GB – Php 37,499 (free on Plan 3799)

iPhone 4 32GB – Php 43,699 (free on Plan 5000)

I’ve heard:
(1) Enterprise clients will get the first dibs on the 24th :D
(2) it will be activated on the spot to prevent jailbreak and have the unit registered immediately at Apple HQ
Since Apple provide certain units per country and they checking the inventory per activation before a provider order another batch. Sinister Apple ..grrr!

You should buy an iPhone 4 now. Prices will be rising soon, and Globe’s launch won’t help lower prices.
