iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max pre-orders began on Saturday, September 12 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time in the U.S. and many other countries. Early pre-orders will be delivered on Friday, September 18 launch day, but those who haven't yet ordered face significantly longer waits.

As of Monday, September 14, all configurations on Apple's online store show estimated delivery dates of September 29 to October 6 for iPhone 18 Pro, and October 6 to October 13 for iPhone 18 Pro Max.

Apple Store pickup may still be available for September 18 depending on configuration, and carriers and resellers like Best Buy may still have launch day stock. Inventory is expected to tighten further in the coming days. iPhone Duo pre-orders begin Friday, October 16.
