Some say they waited for nearly a week just to be the first to get one.
Just eight days ago, the iPhone 15 series was available for pre-orders. Now you can get your hands on one via Power Mac Center, Beyond the Box, Digital Walker, and other authorized stores nationwide. You can now at least see the phones in action!
To reiterate, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are the successors to the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. All phones in the series now use the Dynamic Island Notch like the 14 Pro and Pro Max. One of the series’ newest features (loosely) is the inclusion of a USB-C port. This happened due to pressure from the European Union. However, the port used here is a much older USB-C 2.0 port which has slower transfer and maximum charging speeds. Thankfully, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max use a 3.0 port.
The most notable feature of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max is their titanium build which is said to be stronger and more durable than aluminum.
Power Mac Center said that the launch was their biggest ever, like how last year is also their biggest… ever. More Filipino Apple fans received their starter kits (or in short, their pre-order freebies) worth PHP 18 million. The first grand launch enacted in the Greenbelt 3, Festival Mall, East Mall, and The Loop in Bonifacio High Street, and Mall of Asia branches.
