We’ve been swamped with private messages ever since we posted in October that we got an iPhone 12 Pro. From now on, we’re suggesting that you wait a bit more because Apple‘s latest iPhones finally have local pre-purchase and launch dates.

(Update, January 21, 2021: Our long-term review of the iPhone 12 Pro is up!)

(Update, December 11: It’s Apple Day in the Philippines! Heh. Read You may now buy the iPhone 12 and Mac with M1 chip in PH.)

According to the company’s online store in the Philippines, the iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max (yes, all of them) will be up for preorder starting December 11. They will become officially available in the country December 18.
