Apple's latest flagship iPhones are up for grabs, with launch-day delivery dates set to slip quickly as orders pile up.

The Apple Store is back online, with preorders for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max now officially open. This time around, Apple has a queue system, versus refresh-hammering, and will open the order page when it has reached your spot in the queue.

Apple offered a preorder preparation option ahead of the launch, allowing buyers to select their preferred configuration and payment method. Those selections can speed up checkout now that preorders are live.

Apple scheduled iPhone 18 Pro preorders to begin at 5:00 a.m. Pacific, or 8:00 a.m. Eastern. Store access can still vary as Apple's website and Apple Store app come back online.

Some buyers may see the store before others, depending on how they access it and their location. AppleInsider can confirm that iPhone 18 Pro preorders are now live, with the aforementioned queue.

Buyers can also try switching between the website and Apple Store app.

Delivery dates for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will begin slipping as preorder demand builds. Popular colors, storage capacities, and configurations can move beyond launch-day delivery quickly.

The iPhone 18 Pro lineup starts at $1,199. The standard iPhone 18 is not part of this launch and will likely be announced in early 2027.

The iPhone Duo is not available for preorder alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup. Its preorders begin October 16, with availability starting October 23.
