By now, the annual iPhone launch is basically the first indicator of fall. The foldable iPhone Duo has captured most of the hype this year, but the tried-and-true iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max flagship models also deliver exciting new updates. While the Duo won’t be available until October, the 18 Pro and Pro Max hit shelves on Friday, Sept. 18.
The new Pro models come in four new colors: deep black, silver, burgundy, and glacier blue. The 18 Pro starts at $1,199, while the Pro Max starts at $1,299 for the 256GB models (storage options go up to 2TB). That’s a $100 price increase over last year, and new phones keep getting more expensive. Fortunately for our wallets, carriers like T-Mobile are offering up to $1,200 off, and you can also take advantage of the Apple Upgrade program if you don’t mind leasing your iPhone.
Save up to $1,200 with iPhone 18 preorder deals
If you’re ready to preorder your new device but your related wallet term isn’t quite keeping up with your enthusiasm, we’ve found a few ways to save money. To take advantage of most carriers’ offers, you’ll need to switch providers, trade alternative in an older iPhone, or choose a specific phone plan. Smaller carriers like Visible and Total Wireless are also offering up to half off the new iPhone if you sign up for certain plans.

What about Amazon iPhone preorder deals?
As of this writing, Amazon’s iPhone 18 Pro listings aren’t live, and Amazon typically isn’t the best place to shop for new Apple smartphones. However, we’ll update alternative this page if any iPhone 18 Pro Amazon deals appear in the days ahead. In the meantime, you can preorder the new AirPods 5 and Apple Watches at Amazon.
