Power Mac Center’s iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max pre-orders run until October 15, 2026, with store, online and financing options available under its “iPhone for All” campaign.
For buyers preparing to upgrade, the offers involve several decisions: where to order, how to pay, which launch package applies and when the device can be collected.
The retailer’s current guidelines list a wider midnight-event lineup than the six locations mentioned in the initial Teknogadyet report, extending activities across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
Three ways to pre-order
Customers can order through Power Mac Center stores nationwide, its official web store and its official Lazada Flagship Store.
In-store buyers may pay in full or place a minimum ₱10,000 down payment, with the remaining balance due on or before October 16. Devices must be claimed at the store where payment was made.
Web-store customers will receive collection notifications when stocks become available. Lazada buyers can monitor fulfillment through the platform.
PMC’s web-order scheduling cutoffs are October 10 at noon for provincial orders and October 13 at noon for Metro Manila orders. Later orders remain accepted, but delivery scheduling and pickup confirmations begin October 16 onward.
Midnight launch locations
Launch programs take place on the evening of October 15, ahead of offers beginning at 12:01 a.m. on October 16. PMC lists the following venues and packages:
| Locations | Program start on October 15 | Listed launch package |
|---|---|---|
| Greenbelt 3 | 9 p.m. | Accessory and voucher bundle; additional freebies for the first 75 customers |
| SM Mall of Asia | 10 p.m. | Accessory and voucher bundle; additional freebies for the first 75 customers |
| SM City Clark, SM City Iloilo and SM Lanang | 10 p.m. | Accessory and voucher bundle; additional freebies for the first 50 customers at each venue |
| SM North EDSA Annex, Robinsons Magnolia, SM Megamall, SM City Marikina, Festival Mall, SM City Cabanatuan, SM City Pampanga, SM City Lipa, SM Seaside Cebu and SM CDO Downtown | 10 p.m. | ₱4,000 non-Apple accessory voucher; additional freebies for the first 25 customers at each venue |
Gift eligibility and collection arrangements should be checked against the selected branch’s mechanics. Pre-order packages and midnight-selling packages are separate offers.
Bank promotions require a closer comparison
The Teknogadyet report lists participating banks and financing providers, including PNB, Security Bank, UnionBank, BPI, GCash GGIVES, Metrobank, BDO, Home Credit, EastWest, RCBC, HSBC and China Bank.
Their offers have different purchase thresholds, payment requirements and validity periods. Buyers should avoid treating the highest advertised cashback or longest installment term as available to every transaction.
For example, Metrobank’s official October 2–15 promotion offers qualifying in-store purchases at these prices:
| Model | Listed regular price | Metrobank promotional price |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 18 Pro 256GB | ₱99,990 | ₱93,990 |
| iPhone 18 Pro 512GB | ₱116,990 | ₱109,990 |
| iPhone 18 Pro 1TB | ₱150,990 | ₱141,990 |
| iPhone 18 Pro 2TB | ₱200,990 | ₱188,990 |
| iPhone 18 Pro Max 256GB | ₱108,990 | ₱98,990 |
| iPhone 18 Pro Max 512GB | ₱125,990 | ₱114,990 |
| iPhone 18 Pro Max 1TB | ₱156,990 | ₱146,990 |
| iPhone 18 Pro Max 2TB | ₱206,990 | ₱193,990 |
These are Metrobank-specific promotional prices, not universal cash prices. The bank requires eligible installment transactions for up to 24 months, including its Shop Now, Pay Later option; straight payments are excluded.
Purchases remain subject to card eligibility and approval. The full installment amount also uses the cardholder’s available credit limit. www.metrobank.com.ph
Choose the complete purchase arrangement
Launch bundles, trade-in promotions and accessory discounts add choices, but their value depends on the package available through the buyer’s selected channel.
Before paying, confirm the final device price, installment duration, cashback conditions, included gifts and fulfillment schedule. Comparing those details together gives buyers a clearer picture of the purchase than a headline discount alone.
