Another year, another iPhone. We now have the iPhone 13 lineup and preorders are about to open (or are already open). I’m here to give you the iPhone 13 Philippines preorder details. It includes info from every major Apple reseller and local telco in the country. Hope this helps you decide where to preorder your iPhone 13!
If you REALLY wanna get your iPhone 13 from the source, you can do so through the Apple website! They also accept preorders there, but you won’t get any freebies. (Duh, it’s Apple.)

Power Mac Center
Like last year, Power Mac Center gives you four ways to preorder an iPhone 13:

- Call-to-Order – You can also call a participating Power Mac Center / The Loop store and pay the same P10,000 minimum security deposit through Straight Credit Card, Debit Card, GCash, Bank Transfer, and online installment (Credit Card Installment up to 24 months with 0% interest exclusive for HSBC, BDO, Metrobank, PSBank, and BPI cardholders)

You can also choose between having a 24-month or a 36-month lockup period. The longer period lets you get the phone at a lower cashout.

- Unli All-Net Calls, Calls to DUO and Landline
- 3GB of GoWiFi
