iPhone 18 Pro pre orders open

Apple has officially started pre orders for its new flagship smartphones the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

The Apple Store is now back online allowing customers to choose their preferred model color storage option, and other configurations before placing their orders.

New queue system for buyers

This time Apple has introduced a new queue system for the online store. Instead of repeatedly refreshing the website customers may have to wait in a virtual queue.

The order page will become available when their turn arrives. Apple had also given customers an option to prepare their orders before pre orders began.  Buyers could select their preferred phone configuration and payment method in advance.

Pre Order Timing

Apple scheduled the pre orders to begin at 5 a.m. Pacific Time and 8 a.m. Eastern Time.

However access to the Apple Store may vary between customers. Some buyers may enter the store earlier than others depending on how they access it and their location.

Delivery dates may change

High demand could affect delivery times for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Popular colors storage options and configurations may sell quickly potentially pushing delivery dates further back.
