Apple's latest smartwatches are now available for order, including the new Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4.

Apple announced the AirPods 5 at the "Surprise and Shine" event on Sept. 9. Here's how to order the new earbuds.

Apple's new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models are now being delivered to customers worldwide following the pre-order period that began on Saturday, September 12. For those who didn't pre-order, there's now a 3-4 week wait time for iPhone 18 Pro Max models across all storage options and colorways in the U.S. Demand has been less strong for iPhone 18 Pro models, but you're still looking at a 2-3 week wait for any configuration. However, delivery or in-store pickup at select Apple Store locations on launch day is still an option. As of writing, Apple's online stores in the United States and Canada haven't yet been updated to show pickup availability, but there could be shortages for some configurations, though there could be some variation state by state. In the U.K., all iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max configurations have shipping estimates running into the first and second week of October, respectively, but same-day pickup is still available in many regions, but it could depend on the store you choose. Apple Stores in Australia, China, India, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, South Korea, Türkiye, and the UAE are also offering same-day pickup options. To order a product with Apple Store pickup, add the product to your bag on Apple.com or in the Apple Store app, proceed to checkout, select the "I'll pick it up" option, enter your ZIP or postal code, choose an available Apple Store location, select a pickup date, and select a 15-minute check-in window. Payment is completed online, and a valid government-issued photo ID and the order number may be required upon pickup. iPhone 18 Pro models may also be available for walk-in customers at Apple Store locations with sufficient inventory, but availability can't be guaranteed. Walk-in customers may be placed into a separate queue with lower priority upon arrival to the store. The iPhone 18 Pro starts at $1,199 and the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at $1,299. Both received a $100 increase over their predecessors, and the increases get steeper the more storage you opt for, with a 1TB iPhone 18 Pro now costing $300 more than a 1TB iPhone 17 Pro did last year.

Since 5:30 a.m. on Friday, Dubai Mall has witnessed large crowds of people eager to buy the new iPhone 18 series across all models. Customers lined up outside the Apple Store awaiting the start of sales and the opportunity to obtain the latest devices, coinciding with their launch in the UAE market. The turnout follows a pre-order period that saw strong demand for the new devices, amid reports that some models sold out within less than 20 minutes of pre-orders opening. Apple does not allow direct purchases from its official stores on launch day, as the day is primarily reserved for customers who have pre-ordered their devices and selected in-store collection. These customers are notified by email of their designated pick-up time. UAE market The early turnout reflects the strong interest in new iPhone releases in the UAE market, particularly as the UAE is among the first countries in the world where the new device is available. The country also ranks second globally after the United States for the lowest purchase price of the iPhone 18 Pro, with the device priced at AED 5,099 in the UAE. The UAE has also maintained its position as the cheapest market for the iPhone 18 Pro in the Middle East and North Africa, enhancing the attractiveness of the local market for those seeking to purchase the latest Apple devices as official sales of the new generation begin. Price list The iPhone 18 Pro starts at AED 5,099, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at AED 5,499. Storage capacities for the new models range from 256GB to 2TB. Apple's first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo, will arrive in the UAE market at a later date. Pre-orders will open on October 16, with availability beginning on October 23. Prices in the UAE will start from AED 8,499, adding a new model to the company's smartphone portfolio this year. UAE's first buyer Mohammed Shaka, a Pakistani accountant, was waiting at Dubai Mall to receive his new phone, becoming the first buyer of the iPhone 18 Pro Max following the device's launch on Friday. Shaka said that he was delighted to receive the phone, adding that he had been eagerly anticipating the moment, particularly because he is an iPhone enthusiast who makes a point of purchasing each new version. He said that every iPhone launch feels special to him and noted that his connection with the product goes back many years. He began buying iPhones with the release of the iPhone 4 and has continued purchasing subsequent models ever since. His passion extends beyond using the devices. Shaka maintains a collection of vintage iPhones acquired over the years, displaying them on shelves in his home as part of a personal collection. This year, Shaka chose the iPhone 18 Pro Max to add to his collection and expressed his happiness at being the first buyer of the new device at its UAE launch.

Apple has agreed to pay Samsung even higher prices for RAM and storage chips starting in the first quarter of 2027, according to a DigiTimes report this week citing an earlier report from Chinese publication Jiemian News . Apple has reportedly agreed to pay nearly $2 per GB of DRAM and $0.33 per GB of NAND storage. This is a 30% to 40% increase in pricing for these chips compared to what Apple is paying in the third quarter of 2026, according to DigiTimes . It is unclear if this reported agreement will lead Apple to further raise prices on products like iPhones, iPads, and Macs, or if the company has already factored in the more expensive components in early 2027 into its current 2026 prices. AI companies have been building out massive data centers, leading to a memory chip shortage that has driven up the prices of RAM and NAND storage chips. Apple has raised prices on a wide range of products since June, with former CEO Tim Cook calling the increases "unavoidable" due to the chip shortage, which he likened to a " 100-year flood ." In June, Apple raised prices on all Macs and iPads , as well as the Apple TV, HomePod, HomePod mini, and Vision Pro, with many of the increases ranging from $100 to $300. In addition, iPhone 18 Pro starting prices are $100 higher in the U.S. compared to the iPhone 17 Pro models, and older iPhones have gone up in price too.

It's Friday, September 18 in Australia and New Zealand, which means customers who pre-ordered are beginning to receive their new devices. The iPhone 18 Pro , iPhone 18 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4 , and AirPods 5 are launching today. Apple fans who ordered an iPhone, Apple Watch, or AirPods will soon be sharing first impressions on Instagram, Reddit, the MacRumors forums, and other social networks. If you've received one of Apple's latest devices, let us know in the comments below and feel free to share photos and first impressions. Since there are no Apple Stores in New Zealand, customers in Australia are the first that can pick up their new devices or make a purchase in an Apple Store . In-store stock in Australia will give us insight into what we can expect worldwide, but we are anticipating ample supply of most iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models. If you missed pre-ordering, you can likely get a new iPhone from an Apple retail location, a carrier, or another big box retailer like Target, Walmart, or Best Buy. After Australia and New Zealand, sales and deliveries of the new iPhone 18 models and the other devices will begin in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and finally, North America. Some Apple Stores worldwide are opening early at 8:00 a.m. local time to allow customers to pick up reserved devices and make walk-in purchases. We shared our first unboxing video of the iPhone 18 Pro today, but we'll have the new Apple Watch models tomorrow, and an in-depth iPhone 18 Pro camera video next week.

Apple's former retail chief Ron Johnson tells Business Insider's Ana Altchek about working with Steve Jobs and bringing Apple Stores to life.

Dubai: Apple outlets and a number of electronics stores in the UAE markets will begin delivering today the new iPhones - the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models - to customers who have pre-ordered them. Apple outlets in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, along with electronic stores and the country’s two telecommunications service providers, had made it possible for customers to pre-order the new phones starting from September 12. The company announced that pre-orders for the iPhone Duo in the UAE would begin on October 16, with availability in the markets starting on the 23rd of the same month. The price of the iPhone 18 Pro in the UAE starts from Dh5,099, while the price of the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts from Dh5,499, while the storage capacities of the new versions of the iPhones starting from 256GB, and reaching a storage capacity of 2TB. Dilip Riki, a sales manager at an electronics store, said that pre-orders for the new phones have seen a large turnout from various consumer nationalities, noting in particular the high demand for the iPhone 18 Pro with 256GB of memory. For his part, another sales official, Ashwin Baiju, confirmed that the markets witnessed a remarkable turnout for pre-orders of the new iPhone models, especially the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models, noting that a large number of consumers showed interest in obtaining these models early, as soon as they were launched and became available in the markets. A third sales official, Vikas Nilesh, also confirmed that the markets witnessed, with the start of pre-ordering for the new iPhones, a large turnout of consumers to make reservations, explaining that the largest share of orders focused on the iPhone 18 Pro, especially the versions that come with a storage capacity of 256GB. Apple currently operates five official stores in the UAE, distributed as follows: two stores in Abu Dhabi, two stores in Dubai, and one store in Al Ain. Among the most prominent technologies that Apple has supported in its new products is the introduction of a mechanically variable aperture camera for the first time in the company’s phones, for the main camera with a resolution of 48 megapixels in the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The company also equipped the new phones with a faster processor based on the “A20 Pro” chip manufactured with 2-nanometer technology, which includes a six-core central processing unit and a seven-core graphics processing unit, in addition to increasing the memory bandwidth by 50% compared to the previous chip.

Apple last week unveiled the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max . While the devices look very similar to the iPhone 17 Pro models, there are still quite a few new features and incremental changes compared to the previous generation. Below, we have recapped 10 new features coming with the iPhone 18 Pro models, which have been available to pre-order since Saturday, September 12 and will begin arriving to customers and launch in stores this Friday, September 18. A20 Pro chip , the first 2nm chip in an iPhone. It has a 6-core CPU, a 7-core GPU, and a 32-core Neural Engine. Apple says the chip delivers up to 20% faster CPU performance and up to 40% faster graphics performance compared to the A19 Pro chip in the iPhone 17 Pro. Apple also says sustained performance is up to 40% faster. Three new color options : Burgundy, Black, and Glacier . Orange is no longer an option. The rear aluminum and Ceramic Shield glass area are now more color matched. A smaller Dynamic Island with support for up to three Live Activities at once . The main 48-megapixel Fusion camera on both the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max has variable aperture , allowing you to adjust the amount of light that reaches the image sensor for greater control over depth of field. Apple says this upgrade will allow for improved low-light photography and crisper details in the back of group photos. Aperture options include ƒ/1.48, ƒ/1.8, ƒ/2.8, and ƒ/4.0. In the Camera app on iPhone 18 Pro models, new Pro controls allow you to manually control or adjust shutter speed, white balance, and aperture, and there is an option to use a histogram. iPhone 18 Pro models can record time-lapse videos in 4K and Dolby Vision HDR . Both of the iPhone 18 Pro models have longer battery life compared to the previous generation — especially the iPhone 18 Pro Max. If we go by Apple's offline video playback metric, the iPhone 18 Pro Max has up to 15% longer battery life compared to the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Fast charging to 50% now takes 15 minutes, down from 20 minutes. The revamped vapor chamber cooling system in the iPhone 18 Pro models has three times more surface area than the one in the iPhone 17 Pro models, for even better heat dissipation. iPhone 18 Pro models worldwide are equipped with Apple's second-generation C2 cellular modem for 5G and LTE, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max has it in every country except for the U.S., where it has a Qualcomm modem. Apple says the C2 chip has "AI-powered improvements" to cellular quality and reliability, delivering "meaningfully faster uploads when compared to its previous C1X modem while consuming 15% less energy. In the U.S., the chip supports mmWave 5G. There is now a 2TB storage capacity for both the Pro and Pro Max models — it was previously exclusive to the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Customers receiving an iPhone 18 Pro , iPhone 18 Pro Max, an Apple Watch Series 12, or an Apple Watch Ultra 4 tomorrow will need to install a software update right away. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max ship with iOS 27 variants with a 24A427 or 24A8428 version number. The launch version of iOS 27 is version 24A437, so if you're getting an iPhone 18 Pro, expect a software update during the setup process. The Apple Watch Series 12 and the Apple Watch Ultra 4 have watchOS 27 with a version number of 24R359, but the launch version of watchOS 27 is 24R364. We're also expecting the AirPods 5 to have a day one firmware update, though that will happen over the air. Apple recently released 9A350 AirPods firmware to add support for iOS 27 features. All of the new products are set to launch on Friday, September 18.

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are launching tomorrow, but we were able to get one early to share some initial impressions. Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos. Both the 18 Pro and Pro Max are heavier than the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models they replace, and it's most noticeable when you pick up the Pro Max. It was a heavy phone to begin with, and now there's more weight (249 grams vs. 233 grams). If you hated last year's two-tone design with the contrast between the aluminum frame and the glass back, there's good news. Apple is now matching the glass to the frame for a more uniform look. Our review unit is Apple's new glacier color, which is a light blue that's slightly different from the other light blue shades Apple has used in the past. Unlike some of those blues, the glacier color actually looks blue and not silver. Apple is also offering the iPhone 18 Pro models in burgundy, silver, and black. We have a burgundy model on the way and will share that in the future. There's a fancy new 2nm A20 Pro chip inside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, but depending on what you're upgrading from, you might not notice much in the way of performance. iPhones have used wildly fast chips for the last several years, and you're not stressing the processor when browsing the web and scrolling social media sites. What you might notice is the new vapor chamber cooling system. It takes up three times more surface area, so the iPhone stays cooler when you are doing something that takes a little more processing power like playing a game. Battery life has improved, but that's not something we've had time to test yet. Apple says you'll get up to 36 hours of video playback with the 18 Pro and 45 hours with the 18 Pro Max. If you're in the U.S. and buying an iPhone 18 Pro, it will have Apple's new C2 modem, but if you get the 18 Pro Max, it's going to have a Qualcomm modem. Both models use the C2 outside of the U.S. The C2 modem has mmWave 5G for the first time, plus it's more efficient than Qualcomm modems, so it will be interesting to see some speed tests comparing the two. Apple slimmed down the Dynamic Island by putting the infrared camera under the display, and that's the most noticeable change on the front of the device. It takes up less space, and Apple also updated it so it can show three Live Activities at once or two in more detail. There's a new variable aperture Main camera that also has a new sensor, plus Apple tweaked its computational imaging pipeline. With a variable aperture lens, there's more control over lighting and depth of field. If it's super bright outside, the iPhone can automatically adjust the aperture to let in less light. If it's dark, a wider aperture will let in more light. There are four aperture settings in total, and it works behind the scenes so you can just snap photos as usual. You'll probably notice it most in low lighting. If you want to control the aperture yourself, you can do so with new Pro Controls that also give you the option to adjust shutter speed and white balance. There's a histogram too so you can check exposure levels. We'll have a full video on the iPhone 18 Pro camera system coming next week. Pricing on the iPhone 18 Pro starts at $1,199, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max is priced starting at $1,299. Both new iPhones launch on September 18.

Some reporting about the cost of DRAM for the next year indicates that Apple price increases aren't likely to stop anytime soon.

In the U.S., Apple is charging a higher $129 out-of-warranty fee to replace the battery in an iPhone 18 Pro or iPhone 18 Pro Max compared to previous models, according to its website . Apple has always charged $119 to replace the battery in iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro models, so the fee has increased by $10 for the iPhone 18 Pro models, which have larger batteries. If your iPhone has AppleCare+ coverage, though, Apple will replace the battery for no extra charge if its capacity has dropped below 80%. You can check this in the Settings app under Battery → Battery Health.
