Smart recently held their “Unbox the Future” iPhone 16 midnight launch event at the Smart Store in SM Megamall. The star-studded event featured celebrity guests Kyline Alcantara and basketball player Kobe Paras, with entertainment provided by DJ Ish and singer-songwriter Reneé Dominique.
The first 16 iPhone purchasers were rewarded with PHP 3,000-worth of vouchers and phone accessories, while sixteen lucky subscribers won iPads during the celebration. The event also promoted sustainability with in-store recycling bins for old devices.
Kobe Paras expressed his excitement about the new camera features, “I love taking pictures, so I decided to see how clear and how improved the camera is.”
Actress Kyline Alcantara highlighted the practical benefits of the improved battery life, noting “I always forget to charge my phone so having a long battery life will be helpful for me.”
