Didn't Pre-Order an iPhone 18 Pro Yet? Wait Times Are Even Longer Now
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. If you have yet to place a pre-order, though, your wait time will likely be longer at this point.
The first customers who pre-ordered right when pre-orders began will have their devices delivered on Friday, September 18 launch day. If you place your order today, though, all iPhone 18 Pro iPhone 18 Pro Max configurations on Apple's online store in the U.S. currently have estimated delivery dates of September 29 to as late as October 13.
Apple Store pickup may still be an option for September 18 depending on your desired configuration, and some carriers and resellers like Best Buy may still have stock available for launch day, so you might not be entirely out of luck.
Here are the delivery dates shown as of Monday, September 14 at 11:30 a.m. Pacific Time.
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
Inventory may continue to tighten for both delivery and Apple Store pickup over the coming days.
iPhone Duo pre-orders begin Friday, October 16 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time.
