After completing pre-orders for iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, users may still have a need to change the original selection, such as switching from Pro to Pro Max, changing capacity or color.
However, whether it is changed or not is not entirely the same between retail systems. Users need to directly check the policy of the place where the machine was placed, especially for prepaid orders.
A matter of concern is whether the deposit will be refunded if the user cancels the order or not. This information needs to be confirmed according to the ordering conditions of each system, instead of defaulting that all deposits can be refunded or lost.
In case of wanting to change color or size, the ability to change may also depend on the condition of the goods. If the new version is still in stock, single adjustment may be more convenient. Conversely, if the version you want to switch to has a high order volume, users may have to wait for the next batch of goods.
You don't have to pre-order to definitely receive the phone immediately
The time to receive iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max may also vary from user to user. One of the factors is the chosen color and capacity.
If a version has a larger pre-order than the ability to distribute in the first batch, the post-orderer may have to wait longer even if they are placed in the same system.
Besides, the source of goods allocated to each system, machine receiving area and the order of completion of deposits may also affect the delivery time of machines.
Therefore, after pre-ordering, users should not only care about whether the order has been recorded or not. It is necessary to check the version, color, capacity, deposit status and expected device receipt time.
For those who are considering changing choices, it is also important to contact the place of order early. The closer the change is to the delivery time, the more limited the delivery situation may be.
