    • I suggest you just sell your iphone 4s and just buy a new iphone 5. Trading is not a wise choice unless you really know the person you are dealing with. If you sell it, you’ll get more the price of the amount they offer in Greenhills 🙂

      you may contact them at their websites. I already bought the black iPhone5 from them and very happy with it! Btw, I bought my 16gb for 34,500 free shipping.

    • Yes the price lists above are the latest. I based the price from Smart Prepaid since they are cheaper than Globe. If you want to see the price comparison between Globe and Smart for the iphone 5, see the related article listed above. I’ve been to Greenhills recently and asked about their brand new iphone 5 price, it’s P32,000, you’ll save 1000 for that. 🙂

    • Yeah I know the feeling. Why did you not wait? You must have asked me when would they release iphone 5 ehehe Anywayz, to make you feel better iphone 4s features still are amazing. The new iphone just upgraded into A6 chip, 4G LTE, bigger screen and enhanced features. The EarPods are no big deal and the new connector. You can update to the iOS anytime. If you want to upgrade to iphone 5, better sell your unit to somebody or sell it in Greenhills 🙂
