Totoo kaya mga sisses early next year IP5s?

I somehow doubt that it'll be released agad sa public. most likely sa developers. i'm sure there will be outrage sa kakabili lang ng ip5 if they will release a new one in less than half a year from the previous.

I'm using my 4s purchased just this year, no plans on upgrading to 5 or 5s. most likely the specs isn't a big leap from the 4s kapag nagrelease sila 5s. sayang 40k, lol.

From ip3gs,  nag ip4 ako.  And i am more than happy with this unit.   Bukod kasi sa upgrade ng camera,   i get to use pa all my other peripherals from my old ipodtouch and old iphone 3 gs na di ko sinama sa pag sell.  So dami kong usb cords and AC wall plugs.  Sa ip5 daw kasi,  bago lahat ng peripherals.

Downside saken yung pinalitan nila yung usb/charger. Madaming mga docks/devices na hindi na magagamit. Mga speakers, keyboard, mga dati mong usb/charger lalu na kame sa bahay hiraman ng charger.

bugs - lightning to 30 pin adapter lang for backward compatibility.

^Sis,  magkano daw yung adapter? 
Sana pala sinama na nila sa initial package no?

[enitsirhc]

^Php 1,490.

Available na ba ang Iphone5 sa manila?

[enitsirhc]

^not yet officially released by telcos here pero gray units are teeming.

My BIL needs extra connecting cords for his unit.   bilis daw kasi ma drain battery kahit everything that uses up power is turnedn off...

Meron na bang available cords sa mga apple stores???  Baka na gift namin sa kanya for xmas.    You cant have too much of these cords diba. 

[enitsirhc]

^meron. I bought mine last week for Php 990.

generic silicone cases for my iPhone 5!

I went to Epicentre here in SG yesterday and bought a new 64 GB IP5 for S$1,388 when in apple store online its only S$1,288.  They do have stocks although they have additional S$100 on the original price. 

[mama squeak!]

^That's not bad! SGD100 lang ang mark-up. Supplies must be getting better for the iPhone 5 in Singapore. Sana naman isunod na HKG na damihan ang supplies at mas madaling pumunta dun.

Still no news on the iPhone 5 here in Manila. Was just talking to my friends from Smart and Globe, wala pa rin daw updates. 

[xtine]

^Ok lang sana <b>Mama Squeak!</b> pero nag papaka grey market ang one of the largest premium reseller of Apple here in SG (which is epicentre). 

When I checked the Nubox in Sim lim center, their iP5 prices are similar to apple online store.  I should have bought here.

I am planning to sell the iPhone 5 i bought online to an acquaintance sa pinas kasi sayang ang markup ko since wala pang iP5 sa pinas at marami ang willing bumili at a higher price. 

IMO, i bought it sana for myself pero when I looked at the specs parang walang pagkakaiba sa iP4 ko (mine is not even iP4S).  Mas lighter lang and the camera is somewhat similar to my iP4.  Siguro, i'll just stick to it until iP6.

I have iphone5 from Singapore, ang bilis ng internet. Happy ako sa kanya plus retina display and super gaan. I only have iphone4 before and 16Gb lang kaya gusto ko magupgrade to 32Gb kasi parating low memory hehe. Konti na lang naman idadagdag sa iphone4s kaya nag-5 na lang ako and no regrets. :-)

[xtine]

^Sis, san mo nabili ang iyo dito sa SG?  Yep, kung konti lang ang difference ng 4s sa 5.  Stick to iP5.

[ross24]

^apple online sis. 1 month bago dumating. Dito ako sa pinas pinabili ko lang sa friend ko jan.
1,088 sgd bili ko sa 32Gb. Bakit wala na ba sa stores?

[xtine]

^Normally galing din sa apple store online yung mga dinedeliver sa premium resellers dito.  But limited ang stocks pag sa stores kasi madali maubos.  Unlike pag apple store online directly bumili, pag meron sila stocks, isa ka sa uunahin bigyan kasi sale agad coz cash customers (bayad agad mapa debit or credit card).

[burberi]

I wish by mid-December meron na sa HK kasi pupunta ako doon. Sobrang laki ba ng markup pag hindi sa apple store bumili? At paano yung warranty nun?

[enitsirhc]

^for iPhones, warranty is where it originated/was sourced from.

[prettybarbie]

Burberi pag sa labas ka bumili mga nasa 7,000-7,500 hkd, nag punta ko kahapon sa mongkok ganon ang bentahan nila don
