Here\u2019s the latest update on iPhone 18 Pro pre-order shipping times.<\/p>\n<p>New iPhone 18 Pro pre-orders now estimate October delivery in most cases<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/iphone-18-pro-color-lineup-official.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1069493\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple opened up iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max pre-orders <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/09\/12\/you-can-now-pre-order-iphone-18-pro-and-iphone-18-pro-max\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">over the weekend<\/a>, and after a couple days of sales, delivery times have largely slipped into October.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The earliest pre-orders will get delivered this Friday, September 18, the same day Apple Stores will have the first stock.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as of today, in the US Apple Store you\u2019ll see the following shipping estimates:<\/p>\n<p>iPhone 18 Pro Max: October 6-13 for all colors and storage configurations<\/p>\n<p>iPhone 18 Pro: September 29-October 6 for all colors and storage configurations<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if you\u2019re shopping for an iPhone 18 Pro Max, expect to wait nearly a month for your order to be delivered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things are slightly better with the smaller iPhone 18 Pro, but you\u2019re still likely looking at an October delivery unless Apple hits the very early target of its estimate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s still too early to know how well iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are selling overall at this point. We also aren\u2019t sure how much the smaller flagship lineup this year will impact sales. But delivery times being pushed out multiple weeks already seems like a positive sign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you pre-order iPhone 18 Pro, or are you waiting for iPhone Duo or passing on an upgrade?
