China carried iPhone 18 Pro sales while the US and Japan slipped
The $100 price rise is costing Apple buyers in the US and Japan, and the Duo's effect on Pro Max sales won't show until the next count.

Apple now sells repair parts for the iPhone 18 Pro, M6 Mac mini and M5 Mac Studio
If you're comfortable opening up a phone or a Mac, genuine parts for the newest Pro iPhones and desktops are on sale now. Most owners will still spend less, in money and risk, at an Apple Store or an authorized shop.

Apple reportedly trims iPhone 18 Pro part orders after its $100 price rise
Delivery waits for the $1,199 iPhone 18 Pro are getting shorter, which points to softer demand, but AppleInsider's sources say Apple hasn't cut how many phones it assembles.
The 18 Pro runs cooler and lasts longer, without asking you to change how you use your phone. From an older iPhone it's an easy upgrade, but from a 17 Pro the gains are real and small.

iPhone and Apple Vision Pro, with the Apple accessories in the box, are covered against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the date of original retail purchase, when used normally.
The standard warranty covers a battery only if it fails from a defect. The 80 percent rule belongs to AppleCare, not to the free warranty: AppleCare plans cover batteries that keep less than 80% of their original capacity.
For iPhone and Apple Vision Pro the warranty names liquid contact as an excluded cause, and Apple's iPhone water page says liquid damage is not covered under warranty. The Apple Watch warranty's version of the same clause does not list liquid contact; see the Apple Watch overrides.
Damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, fire, earthquake or other external cause is not covered (iPhone, Vision Pro, Apple Watch). The AirPods warranty excludes damage from abuse, accident, modifications or unauthorized repairs.
Apple chooses to repair, replace with the same model (or a similar one with your consent), or refund the purchase price. For mail-in service Apple sends prepaid waybills and pays shipping both ways if you follow its packing instructions.
If you're comfortable opening up a phone or a Mac, genuine parts for the newest Pro iPhones and desktops are on sale now. Most owners will still spend less, in money and risk, at an Apple Store or an authorized shop.
Delivery waits for the $1,199 iPhone 18 Pro are getting shorter, which points to softer demand, but AppleInsider's sources say Apple hasn't cut how many phones it assembles.
Apple's updates are meant to stop the outage spreading, but a phone that has already lost service has to be replaced, and Apple hasn't said why it happens.
Apple’s Camera app gives the iPhone 18 Pro four set apertures, and Halide fills in everything between them. The aperture mode needs the new Pro, while the two new looks work on any iPhone.
A stress test hit 1.1 MB/s once the fast cache ran out, which matters for long ProRes recordings. Apple doesn't say which storage chip a phone ships with, and supply looks mixed.
Almost every major repair on this phone goes in through the screen. iFixit's provisional score is 7 out of 10, and it leaves the frame problem out until it knows more.
