Pre-order dates to note
EE customers can pre-order the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max from 12 September, with stock arriving 18 September. The iPhone Duo goes on pre-order 16 October and reaches buyers 23 October. Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4 and AirPods 5 open for pre-order 11 September and ship 18 September. Full pricing appears only on EE’s site, so compare the total cost over 24 or 36 months before you commit.
What each device adds
The iPhone 18 Pro pair brings the usual camera and chip upgrades. The Duo introduces a foldable design that EE says will let users run two lines on one number via a UK-exclusive Handoff feature. The new Watches add larger screens and longer battery claims, while AirPods 5 focus on improved noise cancellation. None of these specs change the need to check your current plan’s data allowance.
How rivals are pricing the same kit
O2 and Vodafone have already opened their own pre-order windows for the Pro models and the Duo. O2’s plans include satellite connectivity at no extra cost, while Vodafone’s SuperMobile tier promises guaranteed minimum speeds. Shop both before locking in with EE.
What to do next
Head to our mobile phones hub to run the numbers across all four networks. Check early-upgrade fees, roaming charges and whether your current handset trade-in value covers the deposit. The window for the Pro models closes quickly once stock lands.
