Partner to Launch Pre-Orders for New Apple Devices Including iPhone 18

Israeli telecommunications group Partner announced it will begin accepting pre-orders for Apple's latest devices, including the iPhone 18 Pro, new Apple Watches, and AirPods, starting this Saturday at 3:00 PM. The official launch is scheduled for September 18. Pre-orders for the foldable iPhone Duo will commence on October 16, with its official release on October 23. The broader iPhone 18 series launch is expected later in the year.

Partner is intensifying its market competition, having previously pledged to match prices offered by KSP, a retailer known for low prices on mobile devices. The company will offer price matching for devices sold online and in its stores to all cellular customers in Israel, along with an extended three-year warranty. The new iPhone 18 series will be available in various storage capacities, sizes, and colors, with free expedited delivery.

Customers purchasing an iPhone 18 can also take advantage of an enhanced trade-in offer, providing up to NIS 4,300 (approximately $1,150) in credit towards their purchase when trading in an older device, starting from iPhone 11 models, with the value determined by the model and condition. Additionally, iPhone buyers will receive a discount of up to NIS 400 (approximately $100) on all Apple Watch models, including the new series.

Apple recently unveiled its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, alongside parts of the iPhone 18 series, new watches, and AirPods at its annual "Surprise and Shine" fall event. This event marks a significant shift for Apple, representing the most substantial change to iPhones since the iPhone X in 2017. It is also the first major product launch led by new CEO John Ternus.
