iPhone 18 Pro starts at Dh5,099 in UAE: How much your old iPhone could save you?

Dubai: Apple has announced the launch of its new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, with UAE pre-orders set to begin on September 12. The starting prices for the devices are Dh5,099 for the iPhone 18 Pro and Dh5,499 for the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Apple's Trade In service can help iPhone owners offset the cost of upgrading by providing credit for their existing device.

The amount of credit a user can receive depends on the model, manufacturer, and condition of their current iPhone. For example, someone trading in an iPhone 17 Pro Max in good condition could receive between Dh3,000 and Dh3,260 in credit towards a new device. If they were to purchase the 256GB iPhone 18 Pro for Dh5,099, they would only need to pay approximately Dh1,839 to Dh2,099 after the trade-in credit is applied.

Similarly, trading in an iPhone 17 Pro with an estimated trade-in value of Dh2,300 would result in a Dh2,799 out-of-pocket cost for the iPhone 18 Pro after credit is applied. It's important to note that Apple's online estimate may differ from the final value determined during the trade-in process, as Apple specialists will assess the condition of the device in person.

Before trading in an iPhone, users should back up their personal data, erase their device, and ensure it functions properly. Apple offers an estimated trade-in value through the official UAE Apple Store, which can be checked using the device's serial number.
