If you haven’t pre-ordered the iPhone 18 Pro or iPhone 18 Pro Max yet, expected delivery times have slipped: customers who ordered immediately when pre-orders opened will receive devices on launch day, Friday, September 18, but as of Monday, September 14 at 11:30 a.m. Pacific Time Apple’s U.S. online store shows estimated deliveries ranging from September 29 to October 13.
iPhone 18 Pro delivery estimates
Pre-orders for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max began Saturday, September 12 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time in the U.S. and many other countries. The first customers who placed orders right when pre-orders began are scheduled to receive their devices on Friday, September 18 (launch day).
As shown on Monday, September 14 at 11:30 a.m. Pacific Time, Apple’s online store in the U.S. lists these estimated delivery windows:
– iPhone 18 Pro (all colors and storage capacities): September 29 – October 6.
– iPhone 18 Pro Max (all colors and storage capacities): October 6 – October 13.
Availability for launch day
Apple Store pickup may still be available for launch day, September 18, depending on the specific configuration. Some carriers and resellers, including Best Buy, may also have stock for launch day, so immediate availability is still possible through those channels.
Inventory for both delivery and Apple Store pickup may continue to tighten in the coming days.
Pre-orders for the iPhone Duo begin Friday, October 16 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time.
