The purple has landed in the Philippines. Globe subscribers can now avail the purple color variant for the iPhone 12 series through the GPlan — the telco’s newest postpaid offering. Both the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 now also have discounted cash-outs for the first-time and recontracting subscribers.

As a refresher, Apple announced the new purple color variant for the iPhone 12 during a special event last April 20. That color variant is similar to the purple color variant first seen on the iPhone 11. Fortunately, purple lovers out there don’t have to wait long for it to come in the Philippines. Globe now offers purple as an option for all the iPhone 12 series.

What’s more, Globe postpaid subscribers can now get discounted cash-outs on the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 12 regardless of the color variant. For example, subscribers can grab the iPhone 12 mini with a PhP 14,400 cash-out and the iPhone 12 with a PhP 20,400 cash-out on GPlan 1999. Monthly installments are also available for new subscribers with 0% installments for major credit cards.

Recontracting subscribers, on the other hand, have the option of charging the device cost on top of their monthly bills spread throughout 24 months. For example, they can just pay PhP 600 on top of their monthly bill for the iPhone 12 mini or PhP 850 for the iPhone 12.

More perks await

Discounted cash-outs are just one perks that Globe postpaid subscribers can enjoy right now. GPlan has more perks than ever before with unlimited calls and texts, bigger data allocation, 24/7 access to KonsultaMD and even free insurance against COVID-19 and dengue. On top of it all, subscribers get also faster speeds on select areas with 5G coverage.

Globe subscribers who have been waiting for the purple iPhone 12 may visit the telco’s website today to get started with their application.
