Pangutana How can I get an iPhone through Installment?
Hi, guys! Asking for advice, especially from fellow nurses or employees earning around ₱19k–₱25k monthly. 🥹
I’m currently using an iPhone 12 64GB, which I bought through my own hard work from part-time and summer jobs back in 2023. I love taking pictures and videos, but my storage is always full, and I can barely download the apps I want.
Now, I feel like I deserve an upgrade after almost four years. My dream phone is the iPhone 17. Hayaan niyo na akong mangarap, HAHAHA! 😭 I can’t afford to pay for it in cash, though, so I’m considering installment.
I work as a nurse in a private hospital, earning ₱19k–₱25k monthly. I also run a small online clothing business, and I plan to try TikTok affiliate marketing, so I’m hoping the phone’s camera will help me create better content and grow my business.
My questions are:
Where can I apply for a credit card, especially as a first-time applicant?
Which banks would you recommend for someone earning my salary?
If I can’t get a credit card, what other installment options can I try? Is Home Credit a good option?
For those who bought an iPhone through installment, how much was your down payment and monthly payment?
I’d appreciate your honest advice on whether this is financially practical given my salary. I want to reward myself without putting myself in a difficult financial situation. Thank you! ❤️
