Ever since Apple launched the iPhone 11 series, we have kept this tab opened on our laptop in the hopes that we’d immediately see the handsets’ local availability as soon as the date’s out.

(Update, October 18: The postpaid offers are out! See Globe, Smart postpaid plans for iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max.)

(Update, October 9: Prices in the Philippines are up! See Just in: iPhone 11 series PH prices revealed.)

Today, we finally got what we wanted. Apple has revealed that the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max will be released in the Philippines October 25.

Earlier, Globe Telecom and Smart Communications announced that they will start accepting preorders for the 2019 iPhones October 18. They didn’t reveal the postpaid plans and prepaid prices, though.
