"The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will go on open sale on September 25. The completely new iPhone Duo model will go on sale later. Freedom Electronics will announce the start date of sales separately," the company's release says.
On September 9, 2026, Apple held its traditional fall presentation in Cupertino, where it unveiled a new generation of its devices, including the iPhone 18 lineup. The main hardware upgrade for the flagships was the integration of a new processor deeply optimized for working with neural networks and the Apple Intelligence system. The announcement of a fundamentally new device in the lineup — the iPhone Duo — drew particular interest from audiences and analysts, though the exact release dates for the global and Kazakh markets are still being kept secret.
