The latest iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max have been officially released, and if you're eager to get your hands on one in Australia, I've got you covered.

Right now, both handsets are available at a range of retailers and via payment plans from major telcos. The iPhone 18 Pro starts at AU$2,099 for the 256GB model, and the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at AU$2,299 for the 256GB model. Both can be purchased on Apple's website, either outright or via Apple's financing program with Afterpay. Alongside the Apple Store, retailers and telcos such as Amazon, JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, Vodafone, Optus and Telstra have stocked the new handsets.

Select retailers will accept trade-ins for your old phone and offer credit towards the 18 Pro or Pro Max. Apple is also offering between AU$70 and AU$1,595 trade-in credit, with the higher credit reserved for a newer phone — i.e. an iPhone 17 Pro Max. If you're opting for a trade-in, you can calculate out your phone's credit value at Optus, Vodafone or JB Hi-Fi.

I'll stop with the waffling — here are the best iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max offers available right now.
