First iPhone 18 Pro, Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4 and AirPods 5 Orders Arriving to Customers

On Friday, September 18, customers residing in Australia and New Zealand started receiving their newly ordered Apple devices, including the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4, and AirPods 5. Enthusiasts eagerly anticipated first-hand experiences to share on social platforms such as Instagram, Reddit, the MacRumors forums, and others.

As Apple's stores in New Zealand were absent, Australians were fortunate to be the first to either collect their brand-new gadgets or purchase them in-store. It is expected that the availability of the devices will be abundant worldwide, particularly for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models. For those who did not pre-order, alternative options to acquire an iPhone include visiting an Apple retail location, a carrier, or a major consumer electronics retailer such as Target, Walmart, or Best Buy.

In anticipation of the upcoming sales and deliveries worldwide, select Apple Stores began opening early at 8:00 a.m. local time to accommodate customers eager to obtain their reserved devices and make walk-in purchases. Throughout the day, MacRumors presented its initial unboxing video of the iPhone 18 Pro, promising more content to follow, such as videos showcasing the features of the new Apple Watch models and an in-depth analysis of the iPhone 18 Pro's camera capabilities.
