New Delhi. Apple officially opened sales of its brand‑new iPhone 18 Pro series on September 18, offering two variants – the iPhone 18 Pro and the larger iPhone 18 Pro Max. Shoppers can tap into a mix of bank‑card rebates, trade‑in credits for older phones, and a zero‑interest EMI plan.
Pricing starts at roughly ₹1,64,900 for the 256 GB iPhone 18 Pro, while the massive 2 TB version is priced near ₹3,14,900. The iPhone 18 Pro Max begins at about ₹1,79,900, with its 2 TB configuration listed at approximately ₹3,29,900.
Buyers using eligible bank cards may enjoy an instant cashback of up to ₹7,000. In addition, trading in a previous smartphone can fetch a credit ranging from roughly ₹21,000 to ₹81,500, depending on the device’s make, model and condition.
For those preferring installments, Apple provides a six‑month, no‑cost EMI. Monthly payments for the iPhone 18 Pro start at around ₹26,316 under this scheme.
Display and Processor
The iPhone 18 Pro sports a 6.3‑inch screen, whereas the Pro Max upgrades to a 6.9‑inch LTPO OLED panel. Both displays claim a 120 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness that can reach 3,000 nits. Powering the phones is Apple’s new A20 Pro chipset built on a 2 nm process, running iOS 27.
Camera Overhaul
Each model is equipped with a triple‑camera suite: a 48 MP main sensor, a 48 MP 4× periscope telephoto lens, and a 48 MP ultra‑wide shooter. A LiDAR depth sensor is also included for enhanced AR experiences.
iPhone Duo Launch
Apple also revealed its inaugural foldable handset, the iPhone Duo, slated to hit stores on September 23. The entry‑level version is expected to cost about ₹2.99 lakh, while the premium configuration could climb to roughly ₹4.5 lakh.
Ordering and Trade‑In Process
Customers can configure their preferred model, storage size, and colour on Apple’s official website. To claim a trade‑in, simply enter the old device’s IMEI in the “Trade‑In” section and receive an instant valuation.
During checkout, qualifying bank‑card payments may trigger additional discounts or cashback, subject to the current promotions. Delivery windows vary by model, capacity, colour and PIN code, with some configurations possibly arriving in October.
After placing an order, users can track the exact shipment date by logging into the Order Status page on Apple’s portal.
