Power Mac Center Opens iPhone 18 Pro Pre-Orders Across Philippines
Power Mac Center opened nationwide iPhone 18 Pro pre-orders through store counters, its website and Lazada, with location-specific finance offers and six midnight pickup events tied to the Oct. 15 cutoff.
Power Mac Center has opened iPhone 18 Pro pre-orders across the Philippines through store counters, its own online shop and Lazada, Back End News reported, turning the new Apple handset rollout into a nationwide pickup and promotion schedule that runs through Oct. 15.
Reservations started on Oct. 2 after the retailer staged opening activity a day earlier at two Metro Manila malls.
Buyers can reserve during branch operating hours, use powermaccenter.com or order from the company’s Lazada Flagship Store, giving the launch both mall-based and e-commerce paths.
The purchase mechanics combine reservation perks with payment flexibility.
Store customers get a pre-order kit plus UpTrade Boost, while digital orders carry the pre-order kit.
Power Mac Center also lets buyers apply 1 Infinite loyalty points to the transaction, and the campaign includes bank offers and trade-in promotions for customers replacing an older phone.
Those finance offers vary by location.
BPI participates at the Greenbelt branch, UnionBank covers the Megamall site, the North EDSA Annex and Molito, and Billease is attached to the Tuguegarao branch.
The result is a pre-order program in which the best payment path may depend on the branch a customer chooses.
The handover schedule narrows the nationwide campaign to six late-night venues.
Events start at 10 p.m. on Oct. 15 and continue to midnight at two Makati and Pasay sites, two Metro Manila SM locations in Mandaluyong and North EDSA, plus the Iloilo and Davao-area launch stores.
Customers joining the late-night release need to pick one of those venues as the collection branch so stock can be set aside there.
Power Mac Center is also using tiered launch-night giveaways.
Extra freebies are reserved for 75 early customers at each of the two largest Manila launch sites, 50 early customers at each of the Iloilo and Lanang events, and 30 early customers at each of the Megamall and North EDSA events.
Joey Alvarez, Power Mac Center’s marketing and product management director, linked the launch to the company’s longer push to make premium technology easier to access after more than three decades in the business.
The next milestone is the Oct. 15 pre-order cutoff, followed by midnight pickup at the participating stores.
