iPhone 18 Pro Pre-Sales Open in Israel to Record-Breaking Demand
Pre-sales for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max launched in Israel to record-breaking demand, with top models selling out within minutes at major retail chains despite the holiday timing.
The pre-sale for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Pro Max opened at noon on Saturday, with retail chains reporting record-breaking demand. At Partner, for instance, the Pro Max models with 256GB and 256GB storage sold out within half an hour across all available colors. However, Partner emphasized that inventory is being continuously replenished, and new stock will be offered on the website and in physical stores after the holiday. Notably, Partner pledged to match KSP pricing.
Dynamica also reported that the holiday did not deter buyers, noting exceptionally high demand for the pre-order of the iPhone 18 Pro series, with a surge of tens of percent compared to the previous launch. The chain highlighted that this figure is particularly striking given that a significant portion of the public has not yet entered the purchasing cycle due to the holiday, leading Dynamica to expect demand to continue strengthening.
At iStore, hundreds of devices from the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max series were ordered within the first hour. Currently, the leading model in pre-orders is the iPhone 18 Pro Max 256GB, and the most sought-after color is burgundy. The official launch is scheduled for September 18, while the pre-sale for the foldable iPhone model, the Duo, is set to begin on October 16, with its official launch expected on October 23.
