After its global unveiling on September 10, anticipation grows for the release of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo in Indonesia. Apple began accepting preorders for the iPhone 18 Pro on September 12, 2026, across more than 65 countries, with sales officially kicking off on September 18. However, Indonesia is not included in this initial rollout.
Preorder Details for iPhone Duo
In contrast, the iPhone Duo will be available for preorder on October 16, 2026, in over 70 countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, the United States, the UK, and China. The official sales for the iPhone Duo are set to commence on October 23, followed by an expansion to 28 additional countries on October 30, 2026.
Rumored Launch Dates in Indonesia
While a specific release date for Indonesia remains unconfirmed, several official Apple retailers, such as Erajaya, have begun displaying promotional banners for both the iPhone 18 Pro and the iPhone Duo. Enthusiast Bagus Hernawan has shared insights on social media, often providing accurate predictions regarding iPhone launch dates in Indonesia.
Predictions from Apple Enthusiasts
Previously, Hernawan speculated that the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, along with new devices like the Apple Watch Ultra 4, Apple Watch Series 12, and AirPods 5, would debut in Indonesia on October 16. He has since updated his predictions, suggesting that orders for the iPhone 18 Pro series could begin on October 7, with the iPhone 18 Pro series launching on October 16 and the iPhone Duo on October 30.
Comparison to Previous Launches
If these predictions hold true, the launch timeline closely mirrors that of previous generations. Last year, Apple started accepting preorders for the iPhone 17 series in Indonesia on October 10, 2025, with official sales commencing a week later on October 17 through Apple Authorized Resellers. This pattern indicates that the iPhone 18 Pro series may become available in Indonesia about a month after its global introduction.
