Power Mac Center once again turned the iPhone launch into a nationwide spectacle. The Premiere Apple Partner officially rolled out the iPhone 17 Series and iPhone Air in the Philippines. It held simultaneous midnight events at Greenbelt 3, SM Mall of Asia, and 41 more stores across the country.

At Greenbelt 3, student Marc Dave Afran was first in line. He was ahead of more than 600 patrons who queued up for hours to be among the first to unbox the iPhone 17. The energy stayed electric through midnight, with fans cheering as doors opened and the first units were handed out.

TCL celebrated 25 years of partnership with Anson’s. This happened through an exclusive event titled “Beyond the Screen: A TCL x Anson’s VVIP Showcase.” The event underscored both brands’ shared commitment to innovation, customer trust, and excellence in home technology.

The showcase marked another milestone in TCL and Anson’s long-standing relationship—one that has evolved from a traditional supplier-retailer setup into a strategic alliance focused on growth and customer experience.

Honoring partnership, celebrating innovation

During the event, TCL presented Anson’s Appliances with a special award for their outstanding contribution to the brand’s success. Anson’s achieved a record-breaking milestone. They are the first dealer to sell the world’s largest and most advanced 115-inch TCL C7K Premium QD-Mini LED TV. It’s a highlight product that continues to redefine home entertainment.

The venue, Anson’s The Link, was transformed into a cinematic showcase featuring TCL’s latest lineup of TVs, air conditioners, washing machines, and refrigerators. Guests also enjoyed a live performance from Asia’s Diamond Soul Siren, Nina, adding a touch of glamour to the afternoon affair.
