Pre-Order Dates for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max Revealed

Apple is set to unveil its highly anticipated iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, alongside the iPhone Ultra, on September 9, a Wednesday. True to its tradition, Apple usually begins pre-orders for new iPhones on the Friday of the week following their announcement.

This year, however, there might be a notable change in the schedule. The anticipated Friday for pre-orders is September 11. Due to historical sensitivities associated with this date in the United States, Apple is rumored to push the pre-order date to September 12, which falls on a Saturday. Additionally, the starting time for pre-orders may be adjusted from the usual 5 AM PT to a more customer-friendly midnight PT.

This schedule is expected to apply to the upcoming Apple Watch Series 12 and any other announcements Apple makes on September 9. It's worth noting that while the iPhone Ultra will be unveiled simultaneously, it is expected to launch later than the Pro and Pro Max models, meaning its pre-orders might commence at a different time.
