iPhone 18 Pro Pre-Orders Said to Start Saturday, September 12
Apple will open pre-orders for at least the iPhone 18 Pro models on Saturday, September 12 at 12 a.m. Pacific Time, claims the X account "ShrimpApplePro," which has accurately leaked some details about Apple devices in the past. Under Apple's typical launch plan, pre-orders begin the Friday immediately following the event, but this year that would be September 11, and Apple has historically avoided the date.
German outlet Macwelt previously claimed a September 12 pre-order date for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Meanwhile, the foldable iPhone Duo is unlikely to be available until October at the earliest – per Bloomberg's Mark Gurman – so pre-orders for it may come later.
