Share:

Apple has revealed local pricing for the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, giving Filipino consumers an early look at how much the new devices will cost in the Philippines.

The iPhone 18 Pro starts at ₱94,990 for the 256GB model, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at ₱99,990. The iPhone Duo, meanwhile, starts at ₱159,990 for 256GB.
The prices have appeared on Apple’s Philippine website, although the company has yet to officially confirm when the new models will become available locally.

iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max Prices in the Philippines

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are available in four storage configurations, ranging from 256GB to 2TB.

The local prices are:

  • iPhone 18 Pro 256GB: ₱94,990
  • iPhone 18 Pro 512GB: ₱110,990
  • iPhone 18 Pro 1TB: ₱142,990
  • iPhone 18 Pro 2TB: ₱189,990

For the larger Pro Max:

  • iPhone 18 Pro Max 256GB: ₱99,990
  • iPhone 18 Pro Max 512GB: ₱115,990
  • iPhone 18 Pro Max 1TB: ₱147,990
  • iPhone 18 Pro Max 2TB: ₱194,990

Both Pro models come in Black, Silver, Glacier and Burgundy. Apple has also introduced a new 48-megapixel Fusion Main camera with a variable aperture, allowing users to adjust how much light enters the lens. The aperture ranges from ƒ/1.48 to ƒ/4, with the latter helping keep more subjects in focus when taking group photos.

The phones are powered by Apple’s A20 Pro chip, built using a 2nm process. Apple says the new processor includes a six-core CPU, seven-core GPU and Dual 16-core Neural Engine. The company also claims the GPU is up to 40 per cent faster than the previous A19 Pro, while memory bandwidth has increased by 50 per cent.

The Dynamic Island has also been redesigned to take up less space and can display up to three Live Activities at the same time. Battery life has received an upgrade as well, with the iPhone 18 Pro offering up to 36  hours of video playback and the Pro Max reaching up to 45 hours on eSIM-only models.

iPhone Duo Starts at ₱159,990

Apple’s other major announcement is the iPhone Duo, its first foldable iPhone. The device uses a book-style design, with a 5.4-inch outer display that opens into a 7.6-inch inner screen.

In the Philippines, the iPhone Duo is priced at:

  • 256GB: ₱159,990
  • 512GB: ₱175,990
  • 1TB: ₱207,990
  • 2TB: ₱254,990

The foldable is available in Star White and Night Sky. Unlike the iPhone 18 Pro models, the iPhone Duo is eSIM-only.

The iPhone Duo also runs on the A20 Pro chip and features a 48-megapixel Fusion Main camera paired with a 12-megapixel 2x telephoto camera. For video calls and selfies, it has a 12-megapixel Center Stage camera, while the inner display uses an under-display camera.

Apple says the Duo can provide up to 31 hours of video playback when using the inner display and up to 44 hours when using the outer screen. The company also says a 20-minute charge can bring the battery to 50 per cent.

For Filipino buyers, the main detail still missing is the official release date. Apple has confirmed availability for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max in more than 65 countries and regions from 18 September, with another 20 markets following from 25 September. The Philippines, however, was not included in the published launch-day list at the time of reporting.

Apple’s Philippine website has already listed the local prices, so prospective buyers can see the cost of each configuration while waiting for further details on local availability.
