Hurry now to get those exclusive discounts and freebies!
Power Mac Center has finally launched the much-awaited iPhone 15 and 15 Pro series in the Philippines!

They held simultaneous launches in their five Apple Premium Partner stores — Festival Mall in Alabang, Eastwood Mall in Quezon City, Bonifacio High Street in Taguig (via The Loop), SM Mall of Asia in Pasay, and last but definitely not the least, the recently-renovated Greenbelt 3 branch in Makati.
It’s said that three more pocket events / experiential booths in Manila, Cebu, and Davao will be launched in the following days.

To make the customer satisfaction even better, those who lined up for the midnight launch were able to receive PhP 18-million worth of starter kits as well as exclusive deals and freebies from brands such as Anessa, KMC Solutions, IKEA, Saddle Row, and Yardstick.
Powerful opening
Other than those who lined-up for iPhone 15 series pre-orders, Power Mac Center also held their annual midnight launch for the upcoming iPhones as well.

At exactly 12 midnight, Power Mac Center Greenbelt 3 has opened their doors, dropped the curtains, and blasted confetti to hype up and welcome the first batch of customers who lined up earlier than ever just to get their hands on to the newest iPhone 15 models.

The first in line is none other than Joey Reyes who went in queue four days (October 16, Monday) before the launch event itself (October 20, Friday).

There are notable Filipino celebrities and influencers too such as the power couple Megan Young and Mikael Daez, as well as the well-known TikTok star Philip Te Hernandez or commonly known as “Davao Conyo“.


Way before the launch, the queue was already long (as we all expected). But even after leaving the premises, the bridge outside are still filled with a lot of buyers who are waiting to get their hands on to the latest iPhone 15 lineup.
Fun-filled night
Other than long queues, Power Mac Center has also prepared a night-long celebration to serve as a special treat not just for the buyers, but for everyone in the premises.

Hosted by Enchong Dee and Ai Dela Cruz, they made everyone’s late night alive and kicking before the actual launch took place.

There are a few titles that an overwheling majority of gamers consider as an absolute must-play for other gamers. One of those titles is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Originally launched for the Nintendo 64, it’s not easy to play the iconic game today. But, later this year, the game is about to get much more accessible. Nintendo has officially announced a remake of Ocarina of Time.
Modern gamers might not realize the effect of the original Ocarina of Time on the RPG genre. Besides adding a third dimension to the then-fledgling Legend of Zelda series, the 1998 game also revolutionized the gaming world by popularizing targeting systems. That, and the refining of the formula in Majora’s Mask, makes Ocarina an essential in gaming history.
During today’s Nintendo Direct, the company capped off the hour-long presentations by announcing a remake of the game. Though the short, short trailer didn’t reveal any gameplay, it did confirm that the remake will retain the original’s more whimsical art style, as opposed to the realism put forth by the Breath of the Wild duology.
It’s not the first re-release for the game, though. In the past, Nintendo released remastered versions of the game for the GameCube and the 3DS. This is, however, the first official remake of the title for a much more modern system.
We didn’t know when the remake will officially launch, but it’s coming out within this year.

Apple has essentially confirmed the launch of the iPhone Fold
Some hidden references were not hidden enough.
No, Apple did not officially launch the iPhone Fold yet.
However, WWDC 2026 had a few surprises for those attentive enough to go deeper into the event’s announcements. And it all revolves around iOS 27.
Of course, the main event of WWDC 2026 is the first peek into the upcoming mobile operating system. Though we already covered everything that Apple visibly announced, something hidden has essentially confirmed the band’s first foldable phone.
On X, Sam Henri Gold, an engineer, spotted a few crucial references to a foldable form factor. Hidden underneath the recently released iOS 27 beta are mentions of “foldState” and “angleDegrees.” The code also includes references to the number of displays a single device has.
Notably, iOS 26 did not include such mentions. It can’t be purely coincidental. Unless Apple is suddenly shipping iOS 27 out to foldables from other brands (highly unlikely), this is the prelude to an iPhone Fold coming later this year.
Now, rumors of an iPhone Fold have been making the rounds for a while now. But they haven’t been as strong as this year. There’s heavy speculation that the brand’s first foldable phone is coming later this fall.
There’s still a nonzero chance that it makes an appearance during WWDC 2026, but don’t put all your eggs in this basket. Apple traditionally reserves the conference for software developments. Fall is the usual playing ground for Apple’s hardware.
Alongside the debut of Siri AI at WWDC26, Apple also unveiled the next generation of Apple Intelligence, bringing new AI-powered features to Photos, Safari, Messages, Shortcuts, Home, and other apps across its ecosystem.
Powered by a new privacy-focused architecture, Apple Intelligence now integrates more deeply across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, and Apple Vision Pro. The company says the update makes everyday tasks easier with smarter editing tools, improved web browsing, more capable communication features, and expanded automation options.
New AI editing tools come to Photos
Apple is introducing several new editing features to Photos.
Spatial Reframing lets users adjust the composition of a photo after it has been taken. The feature uses AI to generate only the parts of an image needed to accommodate the new perspective while keeping the original scene intact.
The Photos app is also gaining an upgraded Extend tool, which can expand images, straighten horizons, and adjust aspect ratios without cropping out important elements. Meanwhile, the Clean Up tool now delivers more realistic results when removing unwanted objects from photos. Apple says AI-edited images will automatically include a hidden SynthID watermark.
Safari gets smarter browsing features
Apple Intelligence is also changing how Safari works.
A new feature automatically organizes tabs into topics, making it easier to manage research, trip planning, and other projects spread across multiple pages. Safari can continue grouping new tabs into existing topics as users browse.
Another feature called Notify Me can monitor webpages for changes, such as product restocks or price drops, and send notifications when updates occur. Safari can also generate custom browser extensions through a new Describe an Extension tool that builds extensions based on a user’s written instructions.
Apple is also expanding the capabilities of the Passwords app. Eligible accounts can now be automatically upgraded to stronger passwords, with Apple Intelligence handling the process on a user’s behalf.
Messages, Calendar, and Shortcuts gain AI assistance
Messages and Mail are becoming more proactive with contextual suggestions.
Users can receive one-tap recommendations to create reminders or notes based on conversations. Messages can also help locate specific photos by recognizing people, locations, and keywords mentioned in chats. Smart Reply can now adapt responses based on a user’s writing style.
Apple is also bringing AI assistance to Calendar and Shortcuts. Users can create calendar events simply by describing them, while a new Describe a Shortcut feature can automatically build automations based on natural language instructions.
The Phone app is gaining Call Context, which can surface information such as reservation numbers and confirmation codes when users contact a business. Apple says the feature runs entirely on-device and does not share information with the company.
New features for Home and accessibility
The Home app is becoming smarter with AI-generated video descriptions and improved search tools for HomeKit Secure Video cameras.
Users can search security camera footage using natural language and review automatically highlighted noteworthy events. Apple Intelligence can also group related notifications into a single activity to reduce clutter.
Accessibility features are also receiving upgrades. VoiceOver can provide richer image descriptions, while Voice Control allows users to describe onscreen controls instead of memorizing exact button names. Accessibility Reader now supports more complex documents and can provide summaries and translations on demand.
Availability
The new Apple Intelligence features are available for developer testing starting today through the Apple Developer Program. A public beta will launch next month through the Apple Beta Software Program.
Apple plans to release the features this fall as part of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27 for supported Apple Intelligence-compatible devices.
