Home Credit partners with Digimap to make the iPhone 16 Series more accessible to Filipinos

The highly anticipated iPhone 16 Series has officially landed in the Philippines, and Home Credit Philippines (HCPH) is making it more accessible than ever.

The iPhone 16 Series

Partnering with Apple's premium reseller, Digimap, Home Credit is offering exclusive deals and flexible installment plans, allowing more Filipinos to experience Apple’s latest technology without the usual financial strain.

At a special midnight salubong event on October 17 at One Ayala Mall, Home Credit revealed a range of financing options designed to make upgrading to the iPhone 16 seamless and worry-free.

Sheila Paul, Chief Marketing Officer of HCPH, shared the company's vision behind this initiative.

Our goal at Home Credit is to help Filipinos enhance their everyday experiences. By providing easier access to the latest devices, like the iPhone 16 Series, we enable individuals to upgrade from entry-level to top-tier devices that suit their needs.

This collaboration aligns with Home Credit’s #iPhoneforEveryONE campaign, which emphasizes inclusivity by offering flexible financing options.

With as little as a 30 percent downpayment, customers can purchase an iPhone 16 with 0 percent interest for up to 12 months or a 1 percent monthly interest for up to 24 months. These flexible plans empower more Filipinos to stay connected, productive, and entertained using the iPhone 16 Series' cutting-edge technology.

A midnight event full of surprises

Home Credit's midnight squad

Home Credit's presence at the launch wasn't just about financing. Their booth at the event featured engaging activities and was graced by the Home Credit Salubong Squad, including Miss Universe Philippines 2024 Chelsea Manalo, Mr. Manhunt International 2024 Kevin Dasom, and TikTok stars Ms. Deliciousness and Poca. Hosted by Sean Ortega and Patsy Reyes, the event kept energy levels high as attendees explored the latest Apple offerings.

But that wasn't all. The first 16 customers who purchased the iPhone 16 through Home Credit were treated to exclusive Apple products, including MacBooks, iPads, Apple Watches, and AirPods, along with a chance to snap photos with the Salubong Squad. This added layer of excitement ensured that Home Credit stood out not only for its financing options but also for its role in delivering a premium customer experience.

A partnership focused on accessibility

The collaboration between Home Credit and Digimap is a strategic move aimed at bringing Apple technology to a wider audience. Jill Baysa, Head of Marketing at Digimap, echoed the sentiment:

Our partnership with Home Credit makes it easier for more people to experience the newest iPhone 16 Series, thanks to their financing services that are easy on the wallet. This collaboration ensures that more Filipinos can incorporate the iPhone 16 into their daily lives, especially as digital lifestyles become more prevalent.

Our first impressions of the iPhone 16: What's new?

Beyond the exciting launch event and Home Credit's flexible payment options, the iPhone 16 series itself has garnered attention for its new and innovative features. Here’s a quick breakdown of what stood out:

The iPhone 16 Pro Max

1. Camera Control - One of the most talked-about features of the iPhone 16 is its new Camera Control option. This allows both amateur and professional photographers to fine-tune their shots with DSLR-level precision. Users can control settings like exposure, white balance, and focus, making every shot as detailed and dynamic as possible.

2. Battery life and screen size: A bigger and brighter experience - Apple has made significant improvements to both battery life and screen size with the iPhone 16 Series, making the devices ideal for users who demand long-lasting performance and stunning visuals.The iPhone 16 offers a 6.1" Super Retina XDR display, with up to 22 hours of video playback—perfect for those who prefer a more compact phone without sacrificing vibrant display quality.

The iPhone 16 Plus, with its larger 6.7" screen, boasts up to 27 hours of video playback, making it a great choice for those who prioritize entertainment and extended usage.

For professionals and creatives, the iPhone 16 Pro offers a 6.3" display and 27 hours of video playback, providing a powerful yet portable solution.

Finally, the iPhone 16 Pro Max comes with a massive 6.9" display and an incredible 33 hours of video playback, setting the benchmark for screen size and battery life.

No matter the model, users will experience a visually stunning display that can easily keep up with their daily demands.

3. Looking ahead: iOS 18.1 and exciting possibilities - While the iPhone 16 already shines with iOS 18, Apple enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the upcoming iOS 18.1 update, expected later in October. Early feedback from public beta testers suggests that this update could significantly enhance the user experience, particularly with new convenience features.

One of the most exciting rumors centers around Writing Tools, powered by Apple Intelligence. These tools could act as an intelligent writing assistant available across all apps, making suggestions and providing edits seamlessly, transforming the way users compose emails, notes, and more.

Another promising feature is Summaries, which might offer auto-generated transcriptions for phone calls and audio recordings within the iOS 18 Notes app. This feature could revolutionize how users manage information, providing more efficient ways to capture important conversations and ideas.

While these updates remain speculative until the official release, the buzz surrounding iOS 18.1 suggests that there is still much to look forward to, and we can't wait to see how these new features enhance the iPhone 16 experience.
