Christmas is coming early to those who have been salivating over the Apple iPhone X but just don’t have the time, energy, or blind faith to fly to another country and queue outside an Apple Store like we did in Singapore.
It’s official: The iPhone X, arguably the most important iPhone in years, will be available in the Philippines starting December 1st, with preorders going live on November 24.
The iPhone X will be available in the Philippines starting December 1, as seen on Apple’s Philippine website.
The first sale date has been confirmed on Apple’s official local website, while a source familiar with Apple’s plans told us about the November date, though it’s customary for the company to take preorders a week in advance.

Featuring an all-new design, headlined by a huge, near-bezel-less OLED display that stretches from one end of the frame to the other, and a new way to unlock the device (buh-bye, Touch ID!), the 10th-anniversary iPhone has been lauded by critics and fans alike. It easily outsold the iPhone 8 at launch, and it’s still sold out online.
