The phones will arrive on Friday, September 18th, and preordering one is never a bad idea if you want to ensure you get the color and storage capacity configuration you\u2019re seeking. Speaking of, preorders are officially open.<\/p>\n
The 6.3-inch iPhone 18 Pro starts at $1,199 for the 256GB model, and goes all the way up to $2,399 for the version with 2TB of storage. The larger 6.9-inch iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at $1,299 for 256GB, with the 2TB model costing $2,499. Both phones are available in four colors: deep black, silver, glacier, and burgundy.<\/p>\n
At the time of publication, the only way to preorder an unlocked version of the Pro or Pro Max is directly from Apple<\/a>. You have some options if you don\u2019t want to pay the full price upfront. Financing through Apple is an option (36 monthly payments with zero percent APR), and the new phones are also eligible for the recently-announced Apple Upgrade program<\/a>. You can also trade in your existing phone for up to $885 in credit towards the cost of the new phone, with carriers offering additional credits.<\/p>\n The likes of Best Buy and Walmart only have the carrier-locked versions listed at the start of the preorder phase. Best Buy is offering the 18 Pro through Verizon<\/a> or AT&T<\/a>, along with the Pro Max tied to Verizon<\/a> or AT&T<\/a>. Walmart is offering the 18 Pro through Verizon<\/a>, AT&T<\/a>, and T-Mobile<\/a>, as well as the Pro Max with T-Mobile<\/a>, Verizon<\/a>, or AT&T<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The phones will arrive on Friday, September 18th, and preordering one is never a bad idea if you…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":845532,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[517,356218,166,165,12074,172,74],"class_list":["post-845531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-apple","tag-apple-event-2026","tag-gadgets","tag-mobile","tag-phones","tag-tech","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/845531","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=845531"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/845531\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/845532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=845531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=845531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=845531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
