iPhone 18 Pro Max Delivery Slips to October Amid Pre-Orders
Apple has opened pre-orders for its latest iPhone models, but delivery times are already slipping. While most variants of the iPhone 18 Pro remain available for launch-day delivery on September 18, several configurations of the iPhone 18 Pro Max face longer waits.
The good news is that all four storage capacities (256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB) of the iPhone 18 Pro are currently offered for launch-day delivery in Glacier, Black, and Silver variants. The Burgundy model's 256GB and 512GB versions will be available on September 24-29, but the 1TB and 2TB models can still be ordered for delivery on September 18.
However, several iPhone 18 Pro Max models are delayed until late September or October. The 256GB colour variants of the iPhone 18 Pro Max will now be available through the end of October from 6 to 13 days after ordering. Several 512GB and 1TB configurations have also topped over launch day delivery.
Interestingly, all colour options of the 2TB iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are currently showing September 18 delivery, meaning buyers who want the maximum storage model can still get it on launch day in any colour they choose.
