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

It's Friday, September 18 in Australia and New Zealand, which means customers who pre-ordered are beginning to receive their new devices. The iPhone 18 Pro, ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max, Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4, and AirPods 5 are launching today. Apple fans who ordered an iPhone, Apple Watch, or AirPods will soon be sharing first impressions on Instagram, Reddit, the MacRumors forums, and other social networks. If you've received one of Apple's latest devices, let us know in the comments below and feel free to share photos and first impressions. Since there are no Apple Stores in New Zealand, customers in Australia are the first that can pick up their new devices or make a purchase in an Apple Store. In-store stock in Australia will give us insight into what we can expect worldwide, but we are anticipating ample supply of most ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ and Pro Max models. If you missed pre-ordering, you can likely get a new iPhone from an Apple retail location, a carrier, or another big box retailer like Target, Walmart, or Best Buy. After Australia and New Zealand, sales and deliveries of the new iPhone 18 models and the other devices will begin in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and finally, North America. Some Apple Stores worldwide are opening early at 8:00 a.m. local time to allow customers to pick up reserved devices and make walk-in purchases. We shared our first unboxing video of the ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ today, but we'll have the new Apple Watch models tomorrow, and an in-depth ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ camera video next week.
