Between the lines: Smart’s iPhone 18 offers are structured around both new and existing Postpaid subscribers. New customers can take the Plans+ route, while existing subscribers renewing their contracts have a longer payment option of up to 36 months.
The offers also extend beyond the iPhone itself, with free data, accessory discounts, and an AirTag available to qualifying pre-order customers. Smart Infinity provides another option for customers looking for a higher-tier Postpaid experience and international roaming features.
For Filipinos: The monthly pricing puts the iPhone 18 Pro at PHP 3,713 and the iPhone 18 Pro Max at PHP 4,050 when bundled with Smart Postpaid Plans+ 1499. Subscribers should also consider the required plan commitment and the applicable terms of the installment arrangement when comparing the total cost of ownership.
The Apple Watch options similarly allow subscribers to spread payments through their Smart account instead of paying the full device amount upfront.
Smart is also highlighting its 5G network alongside the new Apple devices. The company said it was recently recognized by Ookla for the Best Mobile Video Experience in the Philippines for the first half of 2026, recording a Video Score of 72.82.
