Overview

  • Preorders for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are now live and the models will reach stores on September 18, 2026.
  • Apple equipped the new Pro phones with the A20 Pro chip and a 48‑megapixel Fusion main camera that uses a variable aperture, plus USB‑C, Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and 5G connectivity.
  • Entry prices start at €1,449 for the iPhone 18 Pro (256 GB) and €1,599 for the iPhone 18 Pro Max (256 GB), with storage tiers up to 2 TB and top prices around €3,099.
  • Major retailers and carriers including Apple, Amazon, Media Markt, Saturn, Telekom, O2 and Vodafone are taking preorders, and high interest in the 256 GB tier and the new Burgunder color has already limited availability.
  • Apple Store delivery estimates have shifted—many iPhone 18 Pro configurations now show Sept. 29–Oct. 6 delivery windows and Pro Max listings show Oct. 6–13—so buyers who want launch‑week arrival should order specific variants immediately; historical patterns suggest prices may ease months after release.
