Drew, you're in the Philippines?! That's awesome! Welcome to my side of the pond! Hope you enjoy your stay here. What brings you here? Just holler if you need anything.:)
@@TailosiveTech Super cool! Been a subscriber for years and didn't know this about you. Seems like you have a number of fans from the Ph. Just saw the Star Link video! Nice!
Yes, we have Apple authorized reseller shops. Power Mac Center is one of them…and arguably, the nearest thing to be an Apple Store in the Philippines. Although, they sell Apple products, the resellers don’t have the same service(s) compared to the bona fide Apple Stores.
Final prices includes taxes on the displayed price in the PH. We do not have the burden of adding sales tax during checkout. I feel so bad for Americans.
Don’t feel bad, it’s not that hard once you’ve done it a few times. Usually it’s around 5-8% depending on the state/city. Growing up in Wisconsin if the item is $19.99 I know I’d pay $21.09 after tax
The alarms if you mishandled the displays in apple stores is really frustrating it will really caught you off guard compare to samsung stores in the Philippines dunno if other countries also.
Hi Drew I was checking out Power Mac in MOA MALL. The other day. Why no official store in the Philippines? I’m sure it would be really busy. WhatsApp is really popular in the UK but most people seem to use messenger 🤷♂️
There are Apple Stores on the Philippines but only few. Mostly there are placed on popular or major Malls and high income residences/place in the Philippines . Though tbh from my experience authorized resellers are cheaper compared to apple stores and authorized resellers are much easier to find. Which is a bargain tbh haha.
It has been the same in India. Since I can remember, there have been resellers only. But Apple opened the first two stores in India this year itself, the weird thing is that Apple had been manufacturing in India for quite a while now 😅
I need to talk to Tim about this. I really thought this issue, well not really an issue but when Tim and I were on dinner meeting a month ago and. I brought this concern to him about not having the legit Apple Store in the Philippines. He was actually very surprised and disappointed in a way about my fellow Flips not having Apple Store so he told me and promised he will investigate on this matter and whatever comes out on the investigation Tims goal is to build one of the fancy and big all glass like the one in NYC and Tim even told me that this might be the most prestigious Apple Store they will ever build and yeah it’ll be in Manila. I i guess watch out my fellow Flips hold a little patient and yeah apple is coming as promised by the man himself @timcooks 😊😊😊

We have a similar issue in South Africa
It's called iStore in SA
Isn’t it an actual store?
Final prices includes taxes on the displayed price in the PH. We do not have the burden of adding sales tax during checkout. I feel so bad for Americans.

@@dyldog i now live in HI, its still upsetting to see people struggle with it. It’s just another thing to think about that prices aren’t upfront.
Prices all around the world except Canadian and American does include VAT, GST etc so that’s why it looks a bit higher.
Summer holiday? Enjoy your time there and have fun!
It's good to know that pricing isn't greatly affected in the Philippines.
you also have to consider that their income is probably a lot lower on average so it's more expensive in that way
Heyyy you’re here oh wow !
Wow!!! I'm floored. No, really, I am! I am a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 owner, and technology never looked so good!
What was that Magic Mouse adapter
This is what caught my eyes toooo
Looks like something to prevent theft and keep it charged.
I love your reaction to the Yellow iPhone 💛☀️😊🤩⭐️
The alarms if you mishandled the displays in apple stores is really frustrating it will really caught you off guard compare to samsung stores in the Philippines dunno if other countries also.
Wow, thats very nice. I really like this.
I wish Google Pixel would also do this in the Philippines 😢
I like Google pixel but i like iPad
Omg u were here!!!!!!!😊
Hey could anyone tell me what iphone the camera gurl was using? Was it an se?
Robinsons ormoc city? Bought my macbook there on that day. Because i watched your vids.
Hi Drew

Awesome🤗👌
so very cool!
I'd love to see Drew, I wonder which Robinsons he is in. seems like he's in the province since powermac was too small.

Tax is already included when you buy in the Philippines, that’s why it’s a bit expensive compared to US price lol.
It’s worse plus don’t forget the import extra tax fees hahahah
In Tarlac we have timeline
Im tryna see where dey get dem mouse chargers from
OMG, You have been to Philippines.
It has been the same in India. Since I can remember, there have been resellers only. But Apple opened the first two stores in India this year itself, the weird thing is that Apple had been manufacturing in India for quite a while now 😅
And iPhones had(and some still do) a hefty markup.
NOTE: These Apple products were imported from the UK.
Weird to see the price
I love it❤❤❤
I would be sweating rn while seeing the prices on the apple products even I was poor person myself 😂
Here for an iPhone 14 pro max, I'll update when I can!
We do
is that real Iphone im from philippines too
Didn’t know you have family in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Is his wife or gf is Filipinos?
I think his wife is partly of Filipino descent
its really hard to afford apple products, i have to use credit cards all the time😢
It’s just that apple care isn’t really useful in authorized resellers
Is your wife Filipina? Cool! Hope you enjoyed your time here 🙂
Yes 😊
portugal is the same we have the istore
There’s one official Apple Store in Manila. Or there used to be one in Bonifacio Global City.
Thats not a Apple Store. Its a Authorized Reseller
that's what drew said
Look! no thugs rushing in and stealing everything. Wow! So nice to see!
what? is that an actual thing? why would anyone do that? 😅
Cuz there’s security check in the Philippines malls before you enter the actual mall
@@jaysonrobles25 wait, US malls don't have security? that's crazy
@@KeaneJ123 they don’t have that’s why we heard some shooting incident in some US malls
Scam price tbh
Philippines? Why are you go to Philippines? What the point of go there? Sorry for kind of a question but i'm just curious.
