iPhone 18 Pro Pre‑Orders Likely to Kick Off This Saturday, Sep 12

Apple’s newest flagship, the iPhone 18 Pro, is just about to hit the reservation list – if the latest tip is anything to go by. A post on X this Wednesday from the ever‑watchful leaker ShrimpApplePro claimed they’ve “confirmed” that pre‑orders will open at the “usual time on Saturday.” That would put the start date at midnight on September 12, right after Apple’s big reveal.

The rumor isn’t floating in a vacuum. Earlier this month a Korean carrier leaked that its system would start taking orders on that exact Saturday, and Apple has a long‑standing habit of avoiding September 11 for major announcements – a pattern that would line up perfectly with a Saturday rollout.

For anyone who’s been watching the countdown, this feels like a comforting continuation of the midnight‑release tradition that has defined iPhone launches for years. In practice, it means you’ll be able to tap “Buy” as soon as the clock strikes 12:00 AM EST, assuming Apple sticks to its script.

Of course, the company will give the final word later today during its scheduled event, where we’ll finally see the full specs, pricing tiers, and availability across markets. Until then, you can mark your calendars, set a reminder on your phone, and maybe even prep your payment method – the iPhone 18 Pro is shaping up to be another coveted piece of tech.

Whether you’re eyeing the 256‑GB model or the hefty 2‑TB beast, the pre‑order window is the first step toward getting your hands on what Apple is billing as its most advanced iPhone yet. Stay tuned, because the real excitement begins when the order button goes live.
