Paying for It
Resellers list two prices. Digital Walker's cash price matches Apple PH, and its SRP is ₱5,000 to ₱10,000 higher. Its 24-month 0% installment is the cash price divided by 24, so paying over 24 months costs the same as cash there. Compare every offer against the cash price. Digital Walker lists up to 24 months 0% on the cash price with EastWest, Metrobank, Chinabank and HSBC, and up to 36 months with UnionBank and BPI.
| Model | SRP | Cash Price | 24 Months at 0% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18 Pro 256GB | ₱99,990 | ₱94,990 | ₱3,957.92/mo |
| 18 Pro 512GB | ₱116,990 | ₱110,990 | ₱4,624.58/mo |
| 18 Pro 1TB | ₱150,490 | ₱142,990 | ₱5,957.92/mo |

- Cash vs installment price. Abenson sells the 18 Pro 256GB at ₱94,990 cash, the same as Apple PH, but most 0% installments are computed on ₱99,990. That is ₱5,000 more for the same phone. Ask which price your card's 0% plan uses.
- Bank 0% offers. UnionBank's pre-order email advertises the 18 Pro from ₱2,849.72 a month for 36 months at 0% through PayEasy. The 36 payments total ₱102,589.92, which is ₱7,599.92 more than Apple PH's ₱94,990. A 0% plan costs more when it is based on a higher price, so ask which price your plan uses. At Digital Walker, UnionBank 0% runs up to 36 months on the cash price, which is ₱2,638.61 a month for the same phone.
- Trade-in monthly figures. Beyond the Box and Digital Walker advertise ₱1,370.83 a month for 24 months when you trade in a phone and pay in store with a partner bank. The 24 payments total ₱32,899.92, and your trade-in covers the rest of the price. Get your phone's trade-in value first, then compare.
- Telco plans. Multiply the monthly device fee by the months, add the plan fee for the same months, and compare the total with the Apple PH price. Globe and Smart had not published lock-in periods or cash-out amounts when we checked, so get both in writing before you sign.
- Freebies. Count a gift bundle only if you would buy those items anyway.
