Overview
- Apple and major German retailers started taking preorders on Saturday, September 12, with the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max set to reach stores on Friday, September 18.
- Entry prices rise roughly €150 from the previous generation, with the iPhone 18 Pro starting at €1,449 and the Pro Max at €1,599 and storage tiers from 256 GB to 2 TB.
- The phones ship with a vapor‑cooled A20 Pro chip built on 2 nm tech for higher sustained performance and a 48‑MP 'Fusion' main camera that adds a variable aperture for better depth and low‑light shots.
- Retail listings and reporting name 256 GB models and the new Burgundy color as the most in demand, and early delivery windows shown by sellers already vary by configuration.
- Beyond hardware, the phones run iOS 27 with Apple Intelligence features and staged language rollouts for Siri AI, a change that may affect which advanced AI functions are available at launch.
