Apple Mobile Phones Price List in the Philippines January 2021

A Forward-Thinking Phonemaker

With its capacitive touchscreen and consumer-friendly design, the iPhone fundamentally changed the mobile industry. It essentially took over the reign of keypad-type cellphone manufacturers and then-dominant OS providers. In 2007, Apple's CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs said that the iPhone was "not just a communication tool, but a way of life." It was in the same year when the first iPhone was released, and the tech world was never the same. To say that the product was successful is an understatement. Apple's mobile phones provide a unique (and quite addictive) seamless user experience. Every iPhone unit is crafted with upgradable iOS, contributing a lot to its irrefutable quality and overall performance. The iOS has improved over the years. In 2011, Apple debuted Siri, a smart virtual assistant, in the iPhone 4S. It is also notable how Apple provides unparalleled privacy and security to all users. Unlike Android smartphones, an iPhone cannot be hacked easily as it has strong preventive measures against virus attacks. One of the best-selling mobile phones of all time is the iPhone 6 (and 6 Plus), reaching the 220-million mark during its lifetime.

Famous iPhone Series

・iPhone 5 Series
The iPhone 5 was released in 2012 as one of the lightest smartphones on the market. It offered double the RAM storage of previous models and held a superior status in speed and performance. This model had a short lifespan and was succeeded by iPhone 5C, 5S, and SE. In an attempt to make the iPhone affordable in some markets, the iPhone 5C was designed as a mid-range device with a sturdy plastic back. The iPhone 5S followed and introduced Touch ID – a fingerprint scanner in place of the old physical button. It was also the first iPhone to have the A7 64-bit dual-core SoC.

・iPhone X Series
Marking the 10th anniversary of Apple's iPhone, the iPhone X immediately followed iPhone 8 and 8 Plus in 2017. The lineup offered the vanilla iPhone X followed by XS, XS Max, and XR. It was the first time Apple removed the home button in an iPhone and replaced it with Face ID technology. These smartphones are all IP67/68 certified for water, liquid, and dust resistance.

・iPhone 12 Series
Apple ended 2020 with a bang through the iPhone 12 lineup possessing next-gen 5G connectivity and awe-inspiring variants. It consists of four models: iPhone 12, 12 Mini, 12 Pro, and 12 Pro Max. This series offers the best all-around smartphones to date and makes you feel like you are holding the "future" in your hand.

Famous iPhone Models

・The iPhone 4
Considered as an unforgettable 2010 masterpiece, the iPhone 4 represented the biggest redesign in the iPhone evolution. It is made with stainless steel frame and glass back, an upgrade to its predecessors. It had the first-ever Retina Display outshining all other smartphones at that time. The iPhone 4 was shipped with iOS 4 and introduced FaceTime, a feature that allows users to make video calls across different Apple devices. It held the longest reign in iPhone's flagship devices. This smartphone outsold all three prior iPhone models combined, putting Apple in the world's phone makers' top spot.

・The iPhone 7
The iPhone 7 launched in 2016 and is currently tagged as the most popular iPhone in use (globally). It was the first time Apple removed the 3.5mm headphone jack in an iPhone. It boasts a power-efficient processor named Apple A10 Fusion based on 16nm architecture, a quad-core CPU paired with a hexa-core graphics chip. The 4.7-inch IPS LCD front offers a wide color gamut with Gorilla Glass protection and oleophobic coating. This model is no longer in production but still supports iOS 10, upgradable to iOS 14.2.

・The iPhone 11
It is the world's best-selling smartphone of 2020, with over 16 million units sold. The iPhone 11 comes with an A13 Bionic chip, a scratch-resistant large display, and a 3110mAh battery with wireless charging capability. Its glass-metal sandwich construction plus competitive pricing makes it a really good buy despite iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max's advanced features. It has a dual 12MP ultra-wide rear camera setup with PDAF, OIS, Night Mode, and 4K video recording. On the other side, the selfie shooter also packs a dual 12MP wide lens + 3D TOF sensor. This model is IP68 certified for water and dust resistance, including dirt and grime.

The World's Most Valuable Brand

Every year, Apple releases new flagship iPhone models with upgraded features. The screens become brighter and larger, the speakers are better, the battery and charging improve, performance is boosted, and the camera setups are advanced. If you examine each part of an iPhone, every detail is constructed with the highest standards. All the materials are top-grade and undergo rigorous tests. It is astonishing how the company never veered away from its most loved trademark: free and consistent iOS updates. When people get an iPhone, they know exactly what they sign up for and never worry about privacy. Also, the Find My iPhone is a safety feature that makes it worth your money. Apple's information security promises this: what happens on your iPhone stays on your iPhone. That is an assurance that an Android smartphone cannot deliver, even in the high-priced flagship segment. Apple is a brand that you can expect to last for decades. So is their best-selling iPhone series, which will never go out of style. An iPhone is without a doubt one of the most valuable things you can own.
