Pre-order and availability dates
Sky Mobile customers can pre-order the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max from Saturday 12 September, with handsets landing Friday 18 September. The foldable iPhone Duo opens for pre-order on Friday 16 October and arrives a week later on 23 October. Apple Watch Series 12 and AirPods 5 become available from 18 September.
Pricing and trade-in offers
The iPhone 18 Pro starts at £38 a month and the Pro Max at £41 a month, both with a £12 upfront fee and unlimited calls and texts included. Eligible trade-ins can wipe the first ten monthly payments entirely. Adding a 40GB plan at the reduced £8 a month rate (normally £18) can deliver savings of up to £760 over the term when combined with a qualifying handset trade-in. Unlimited data is available at £18 a month, the lowest price Sky Mobile has offered.
Sky VIP and roaming perks
Sky VIP members receive 50% off data plans (excluding the 100MB tier), bringing unlimited data down to £15 a month or £10 a month for Diamond customers who have been with Sky over 15 years. Diamond members also gain free use of their allowances in 120 destinations worldwide. Everyone else pays £2 a day via Roaming Passport Plus for the same countries. The network claims 99% 4G population coverage and lets users roll unused data into a Piggybank for up to a year or share it across up to seven SIMs.
How it compares with rivals
Rivals such as Vodafone and EE are also stocking the new Apple line-up, so check current data bundles and early-upgrade options before committing. Existing Sky Mobile users can switch plans monthly or use the Swap feature to change handsets mid-contract. New customers simply text PAC to 65075 to port their number.
