Here's When iPhone 18 Pro Pre-Orders Begin in Every Time Zone

Pre-orders for the iPhone 18 Pro and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max will begin on Saturday, September 12, at 5:00 a.m. Pacific Time, with the new devices set to become available for pre-order in many countries around the world simultaneously. We’ve compiled pre-order times for various countries to help readers be among the first to order.

This list isn’t exhaustive, so please verify the exact time for your specific location. Australia West – 8:00 p.m. AWST Australia East – 10:00 p.m.

AEST Austria – 2:00 p.m. CEST Belgium – 2:00 p.m. CEST Canada West – 5:00 a.m.

The first time you need to adjust volume, you’ll wish you’d spent that extra $20. Don’t buy the ‘regular’ AirPods 5.

When Bloomberg finally committed to an AirPods 5 prediction the morning of the show, I knew the updates would be minor at best. For various reasons, including the lack of spicy rumors, it just didn’t seem like Apple had anything groundbreaking to add to its base-level AirPods lineup.

I will concede that the upgrades to the model that Apple is now calling AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case are notable. And doing so for $149 when the comparable AirPods 4 model was $179 is commendable.

I already know how much the swipe gestures for volume control will improve the experience. I say this as someone who constantly tries to swipe the stems of the AirPods 4 every time I wear them.

I’ve definitely been AirPods Pro-pilled there.
