The phones will arrive on Friday, September 18th, and preordering one is never a bad idea if you want to ensure you get the color and storage capacity configuration you’re seeking. Speaking of, preorders are officially open.
The 6.3-inch iPhone 18 Pro starts at $1,199 for the 256GB model, and goes all the way up to $2,399 for the version with 2TB of storage. The larger 6.9-inch iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at $1,299 for 256GB, with the 2TB model costing $2,499. Both phones are available in four colors: deep black, silver, glacier, and burgundy.
At the time of publication, the only way to preorder an unlocked version of the Pro or Pro Max is directly from Apple. You have some options if you don’t want to pay the full price upfront. Financing through Apple is an option (36 monthly payments with zero percent APR), and the new phones are also eligible for the recently-announced Apple Upgrade program. You can also trade in your existing phone for up to $885 in credit towards the cost of the new phone, with carriers offering additional credits.
