Apple announces pricing and preorder timing for the iPhone 18 Pro (and 18 Pro Max) and the company’s first foldable, the iPhone Duo. Outlets report that the iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max campaign begins with a launch for preorders across a broad set of countries, followed by staggered availability in additional regions.
GSMArena reports that preorders open this Saturday, September 12, across an initial wave of 65 countries, including markets such as the US, UK, Germany, Australia, Canada, China, France, India, and South Korea. Shipments for the iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max are set to begin September 18, with another 20 countries receiving the devices starting September 25. The iPhone Duo follows a later schedule, with preorders beginning October 16 and shipments starting afterward.
TechRadar and Cult of Mac also focus on what customers need—pricing, preorder start times, and launch logistics—rather than new technical details. Their coverage aligns with the announced campaign dates and availability structure, providing practical guidance on when orders open and when devices reach stores in each region.
