What sense has to increase prices so much in Europe when Euro currently has value of 1,16$ and Siri AI, the big new advancement for this year iteration, is forbidden in Europe?? Is Apple using the europeans to finance lower increases in US and protect their American customers?

The prices have been increased everywhere in the world, mostly because of the insanely increased costs of RAM thanks to AI data centers buying up all the stock and future stock. In Europe, they are higher due to VAT, currency exchange risk buffers, and mandatory consumer warranty protections.

It seems that Mark Gurman has the same thoughts as me in the last Bloomberg newsletter published some minutes ago.

I have the 18 Pro in burgundy ordered for pickup in the morning of the 18th.

Glad to see an EU thread!

No pickup option available in Romania but I ordered a 18 Pro Max in Black and in theory the estimated time is 18th of September. Usually they deliver it in the same day but let’s see
 
We're back! Thank you for the thread. 🤗

Apparently the Duo is eSIM only worldwide. I wonder what's the holdup for going eSIM only worldwide for the rest?

Anyway, I'll be ordering the Duo in white in October. 🤑 Not much choice there when it comes to color. But white/silver goes with anything, thankfully. Not that there is much choice when it comes to cases for this thing... Thankfully! I spent way too much money on cases for my 17 Pro. 😂

I hope we'll be able to pre-preorder the Duo, like with the 18 Pros.
Have a look at ESR , I saw they had new cases for the Duo . They have great stuff . Spigen has some also .

Good evening! I ordered a 256GB Burgundy iPhone 18 Pro Max. I managed to confirm the order 29 minutes after pre-orders opened, at 2:29 PM, and my estimated delivery window is September 24–29.

Does anyone know if there’s a chance Apple could move the delivery date forward and deliver it earlier?
Italy
Thanks!

It can happen, but I wouldn't count on it. It happened when I bought my Mac mini.

Hi, I have the same window for my order. My guess is that at best they will arrive on the 22nd or 23rd if we are lucky.
 
Let’s hope for the best, but I don’t want to get my hopes up too much. Otherwise, I’ll start expecting an earlier delivery, and if it doesn’t happen, I’ll be disappointed.
