The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max were originally unveiled globally at Apple’s September 9 event, alongside the AirPods 5, in the company’s first major launch under new CEO John Ternus.
The devices feature a 2nm A20 Pro chip, a 48MP Fusion camera system with variable aperture, and up to 30 hours of battery life on the Pro Max variant.
For the first time, Apple is offering a 2TB storage option on the iPhone 18 Pro lineup, aimed at users with heavy photo and video storage needs.
India’s official pricing was confirmed only closer to the local launch; earlier estimates ahead of the global unveiling had pegged the India price near Rs 1,39,900, lower than the confirmed figure.
Physical store availability is expected to remain limited in the initial days, with Apple prioritizing fulfillment of existing pre-orders before opening walk-in sales more broadly.
The iPhone 18 series does not include a foldable iPhone, despite months of speculation ahead of the global launch event.
India remains one of the fastest-growing markets for Apple globally, with the company expanding its retail footprint and local manufacturing base in the country in recent years.
