The Loop is offering exclusive deals, accessory bundles, and trade-in perks for customers buying the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in the Philippines. The retailer’s promotions include pre-order freebies worth up to PHP 16,160, midnight launch rewards for early customers, and discounts through participating banks and online payment platforms.

Why it matters: The Loop’s offers combine lower launch prices with accessories, bank discounts, and trade-in incentives. For buyers planning to upgrade, these perks could reduce the upfront cost or add value beyond the phone itself, although the best deal will depend on the payment method, eligibility, and promotional terms.

What’s next: The Loop’s midnight launch will be held at UP Town Center, with 19 other participating branches across Metro Manila, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. These include Uptown Mall BGC, SM North EDSA Annex, SM Makati, Robinsons Place Manila, S Maison, Ayala Malls Feliz, Ayala Malls Solenad, SM City San Mateo, SM City Calamba, SM City Cabanatuan, SM Center Dagupan, SM Baguio, Clark Cityfront Mall, Xentro Mall Vigan, Ayala Center Cebu, Ayala Malls Central Bloc, Ayala Malls Centrio CDO, Robinsons Place Dumaguete, and SM City Davao.
The retailer is also offering its UpTrade program for customers who want to exchange an existing device. Buyers can purchase a new phone and trade in their old device later, with up to PHP 58,500 in base trade-in value for an iPhone 17 Pro 1TB in Grade A or B condition, subject to assessment.
An additional UpTrade boost of up to PHP 12,000 is available until October 31, 2026, bringing the potential total upgrade credit to PHP 70,500. Grade C devices receive only the base appraisal, and customers must complete the device return and trade-in within seven days of purchase.
The Bottom Line: The Loop is combining iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max launch pricing with accessory bundles, early-customer rewards, bank promotions, and trade-in credits. Buyers should compare the offers based on the payment method they intend to use and the accessories they actually need, since the headline value of a bundle does not necessarily translate into equivalent cash savings.
