The first iPhone 18 Pro preorders are reaching customers as Apple's latest flagship rolls out worldwide. Apple opened iPhone 18 Pro preorders on September 12, ahead of its September 18 release. Customers in the earliest time zones are now among the first to receive their new devices.

Deliveries typically begin in Australia and New Zealand, followed by Asia, Europe, and North America. Apple Stores generally open at 8:00 AM local time to cater to launch-day enthusiasts. Queues formed at Apple The Exchange TRX in Kuala Lumpur as the iPhone 18 Pro went on sale.

As anticipated, early recipients are taking to social media to post photos and first impressions of the new devices. These posts also offer customers elsewhere an early look at the device before their own deliveries arrive. U.S. customers will begin receiving their preorders on Friday morning as delivery services start their routes. Apple Stores will also begin offering the iPhone 18 Pro for in-store pickup and walk-in purchases.
