Apple iPhone 18 Pro Pre-Sale Date
A Macwelt report claims that Apple will begin taking orders on Saturday, September 12, 2026, after delaying pre-sales by one day. September 11 is a day of commemoration and sadness in the United States, thus this will take place. Apple may potentially alter the commencement time. Pre-orders are anticipated to start on September 12 at midnight PT and around 12:30 PM IST, instead of the customary 5:30 PM (IST) launch.
Apple iPhone 18 Pro Expected Specifications
A 6.3-inch OLED panel with a refresh rate of 120 Hz might be found in the Apple iPhone 18 Pro. The Apple A20 Pro chipset, which is based on a 2nm technology, may power it. According to leaks, the chipset will likely run 15% quicker and provide about 30% more energy efficiency. A 5100mAh battery that supports MagSafe wireless charging is another option for the phone.
Regarding photography capabilities, the Apple iPhone 18 Pro may include three rear cameras: a 48MP main camera, a 48MP ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a 48MP telephoto sensor. The gadget could include an 18MP camera on the front for taking selfies and making video calls.
