It’s October again, which means that it’s time for the Filipinos to get their hands on the newest iPhones
Back in September, the new iPhone XS and XS Max were introduced to the public. It may lack some visual changes, but Apple did a lot of improvements to the internal components.
One of the biggest improvements is seen in the processor department. The new iPhones now come with a faster A12 Bionic chip, which easily dominated the AnTuTu Benchmark rankings with a score of over 300,000.
The camera system has also been greatly improved, as well as their wireless modems. Apple also claims that despite the identical display features, the new iPhones provides way better colors and dynamic range.
Apple thinks that those upgrades are worth the price that they are asking. Just recently, the Cupertino-based company has finally revealed the official prices of the new iPhones in the Philippines.
Both the base model iPhone XS and XS Max are priced at Php67,990 and Php74,990, respectively. While the top-of-the-line variant, the iPhone XS Max with 512GB of storage, costs Php97,470.
So, if you don’t have the extra money for it, but still want to own any of the new iPhones, you might want to check out the iPhone XS and XS Max Smart Postpaid Plans.
