If you plan to pre-order through Beyond the Box, you get freebies worth PHP 11,760 which includes a Marshall Speaker in the package.
Power Mac Center loyalists can pre-order both in-store and online. Note that you need to pay the full pre-order price if you wish to do it online. You can pre-order through PMC’s stores nationwide. Unlike online, you can put in a secure deposit of at least PHP 10,000. However, this must be completed on or before the regular selling day, October 18, or it will be forfeited. If you have an old iPhone, you can swap it for the new iPhone through the retailer’s trade-in program. Of course, you’ll also get your fair share of freebies and goodies. They haven’t told us yet what they are but one of them is a 30W dual-port wall charger, according to the website.
Hardware and electronics store Abenson is also offering the new iPhones during the pre-order. If you pre-order through them, you will get a FREE personal refrigerator from TCL worth PHP 5,995 and if you’re one of the first 200 lucky people to pre-order one, you’ll also get a PHP 300 voucher from HP.

Those who like to shop through Digital Walker can pre-order by filling out the pre-order form. The form asks customers a few questions including the type of iPhone they want to pre-order, what color, and storage capacity. The form also asks for personal information such as the customer’s full name, contact details, and e-mail address. Once filled, customers need to go to any of Digital Walker’s branches nationwide and a customer service representative will reach out to them and assist in getting their new hard-earned iPhone. Digital Walker also reminds its customers that the pre-order form is not a way to reserve a unit, and it can be forfeited if the recipient does not show up during the pre-order days.
