You can pick up your iPhone 18 Pro on September 18 only if your chosen store has your exact model, color, and storage in stock and shows an open same-day pickup slot during checkout.

If you wait until September 18th to place an order for an iPhone 18 Pro, your chances of getting one in store on the 18th are VERY VERY low. Apple will be satisfying pre-orders, which have been active now for the last 2.5 hours. While Apple stores may have some phones available for walk in customers, they will have gotten in line long before the store opens on the 18th and most will be very disappointed to wait hours and not get a phone.
At this writing, I started a pre-order of iPhone 18 Pro Max with 256 G.
Preliminary delivery date showing is October 6 through 13
of course, these will vary by exact model, but I agree with lobsterghost1 you likely missed the Sept 18 date already.
I initially ordered the iPhone 18 Pro Max 256gb but got caught up in all the issues with Creation and missed the on the day pickup slot so I ordered an iPhone Pro 256gb instead.
On the off-chance they have any 18 Pro Max 256 in stock would they be allowed to swap my order and how would they reprocess the finance? (presumably I'd have to cancel and reapply in store). It took the best part of 2 days to sort out the %0 Creation loan - it's always been so efficient before so I'm a bit annoyed to have messed this up.
What happens if I schedule a pick up in Store for September 20 and I come the next day
Same-day pickup for iPhone 18 Pro in-store order
