“This year’s new iPhone launch is even more extra because our strong presence in the provinces has allowed us to bring the excitement of the midnight launch to our loyal customers outside the metro,” Joey Alvarez, director for marketing and product management of PMC, said. 

Head on to these locations: Greenbelt 3, SM Mall of Asia, Robinsons Galleria Cebu, and SM Lanang Premier in Davao, and expect performances from the country’s top musical artists, interactive games to win special prizes, and of course, the countdown to the store reopening as midnight strikes. 

Those who will pre-order in these locations will receive up to P30,000 worth of goodies during the midnight launch party. 

Alvarez added that customers can now pre-order and secure their preferred iPhone 16 device and get it the moment they hit the stores. 

In-store pre-orders are available in 30 branches nationwide, and at least P5,000 worth of freebies will be available.

Online pre-orders via the PMC web store, The Loop Shopee Mall, or SM Malls Online app will end on Oct. 16, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. 

Brand new iPhone and exclusive perks

Not only will you leave with a brand new phone, but you could also have a chance to win the BYD ATTO 3 Dynamic Electric Vehicle and other exciting prizes.

This special treat to PMC loyal customers is part of its “Miles and Milestones: The 30th Anniversary Raffle” promo, where all pre-orders and purchases of the latest iPhone are all qualified to earn entries and a chance to win in the raffle. 

Simply sign up for membership to 1 Infinite, in-store or via this link. Once confirmed, make a minimum single-receipt purchase of at least P30,000 until December 31, 2024.

Customers who are members of the loyalty program can redeem points to use upon purchases with 1 point equivalent to P1.

Not only that, but those customers who will be paying using non-installment modes of payment can get up to P10,000 off on any iPhone 16 series device. 

You can also enjoy the free Before Anything Else Dual Port 30W Wall Charger at all PMC and The Loop stores, including Web Store, Lazada, Shopee, and SM Malls Online.

Also, enjoy a 30% discount on participating Apple and non-Apple accessories, subject to terms and conditions.

However, these offers are only valid for walk-in customers who have pre-orders made from October 10 to 17 and launch weekend purchases from October 18 to 20.

PMC’s official service arm, Mobile Care, is also offering customers an extra year of unlimited diagnostics upon purchasing the latest model.

Aside from these offerings, those who want to trade in their iPhone 15 device can get up to P54,700 trade-in value. 

While those iPhone 11 to 14 models can receive up to P1,000 extra trade-in value when purchasing any of the 16 models. 

The iPhone 16 line comes in two offerings: 16 Pro (P70,990) and 16 (P55,990), with five bold colors available in black, white, pink, teal and ultramarine.
