In light of Apple’s official communication regarding the chemical aging issue of batteries on older iPhone units, Power Mac Center, being an Authorized Service Provider, is committed to provide efficient and professional service through a strict set of protocols, which consists of the following:
• Devices must undergo diagnosis to check the battery condition and other internal and external physical/accidental damage or unauthorized modification that may or may not be visible to the naked eye.
• If such issues are found, the iPhone will be ineligible for the battery replacement.
• If, during the diagnosis, we also find other hardware issues, our Apple Certified Engineer will recommend a part/unit replacement accordingly.
• Customers may or may not proceed with the recommendation, but if they decide to pull out, they have to settle the diagnostic fee if the unit is out or void of warranty. The battery replacement fee is Php1,500 for eligible units out of warranty, inclusive of labor. This price may change due to importation costs and without prior notice.
This is Apple’s current and official procedure in all of their partner service centers and we have to comply with it.
We would like to assure our customers that Power Mac Center Service Engineers are Apple-certified and they take their craft seriously. Whatever they do reflects on the brand so there must be no room for error in such proceedings.
Moreover, Power Mac Center is wholly committed to providing Filipinos the complete Apple experience. Since its announcement two weeks ago, we have successfully replaced the iPhone batteries of over 150 satisfied customers. Should they have further questions, they are free to contact the AppleCare Hotline.

Power Mac Center’s iPhone Battery Servicing
I think there are already some smuggled IPAD's that got in the Philippines. I'm not surprised but I think the deal is they have these on open line so you can literally use them on other networks aside from the ones in the US like AT&T. I would love to have this for my photos so I could use it to my clients when the need arises. Most probably this would be beneficial for presentations but a cool second gadget other than a laptop. It is not a good substitute but is well worth to be a second gadget.The current price range for the IPAD runs 37 thousand pesos for the 16 Gigabyte and around 47 thousand pesos for 32 Gigabyte. Most probably people will tend to run for the larger one because of the price difference. I wonder what generation of this device will come out in the next few months. As far as the kindle battle goes, it looks like this is a better device because it is colored but we would need to wait how it fares once the downloads over at amazon goes.
IT News: Philippine IPAD Availability
It's official! The Apple IPhone has now been overtaken in sales by the fabulous Blackberry Curve. During the release of the first quarter sales figures, the Curve has jumped to 15% in market shares while it sent the Apple IPhone dwindling 10% less this year.This is probably caused by the major carriers Sprint, AT&T and Verizon higher sales of the unit and people holding their well earned money for the release of the new IPhone in the coming months. There are also huge purchases happening on Verizon because they currently have a buy one take one promo for the Blackberry Curve unit that sent their competitors back to drawing boards as they posted huge gains in subscribers over this first quarter too. They have this packaged and locked on subscription right now and people avail this one rather than going with the IPhone who also did not place on the top 5 smartphones in gross sales this first quarter.
After a few months, IPhone will announce the next generation IPhone that would probably be more faster, have higher storage and more web friendly. They will also be having more improvements on the touch screen technology as they embark on new units come in the latter half of the year. With this in mind, the prices of the older IPhone units will probably be lower in the Philippines too. Maybe by then I'll try and get one if the 2nd generation does not impress me much. I hope someone gives me their phones for free, my Nokia 6280 is ready to retire!
