Apple’s new iPhone 18 Pro models are available to preorder in Indonesia, where the launch adds the company’s latest flagship phones to the market on Oct. 16. Retailer iBox opened orders for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max at 9 a.m. local time on Wednesday, Oct. 7, through its online channel and stores.

The preorder window gives shoppers a chance to choose between the two screen sizes before sales begin. But the information available does not list prices, storage configurations or how customers can collect their orders.

Different screen sizes, shared A20 Pro chip

Both phones use Apple’s A20 Pro chip, manufactured using a 2-nanometer process. The iPhone 18 Pro has a 6.3-inch display, while the Pro Max has a larger 6.9-inch screen.

The size difference is the clearest distinction between the models in the preorder details. Both also come in burgundy, glacier blue, silver and black, according to the information provided.

There are no performance figures or comparisons with earlier models in the available announcement. The chip’s manufacturing process is specified, but no benchmark results are given.

Three 48-megapixel rear cameras on each model

Apple equips both phones with three rear cameras: a 48-megapixel main camera, an ultra-wide camera and a telephoto camera. The main camera has a variable aperture, adjustable from f/1.48 to f/4.0.

That adjustable aperture is among the camera details highlighted in the preorder information. Apple also updated the phones’ vapor-chamber cooling system, although the announcement does not explain what changed or how the update affects everyday use.

For shoppers, the stated specifications point to two shared features across the lineup: the A20 Pro chip and a three-camera system with 48-megapixel sensors. The display size remains the main disclosed difference, so customers choosing between the phones can compare the 6.3-inch Pro with the 6.9-inch Pro Max. Pricing and storage details are not available in the information provided.

Orders open online and in stores

Customers can place preorders through iBox online or at a physical store. The source information does not provide a dedicated ordering link, payment instructions or estimated delivery dates. Buyers will need to check iBox’s channels for the applicable ordering and fulfillment terms.

The first sales of both models are scheduled for Friday, Oct. 16, nine days after preorders opened.
