Outside the United States, several carriers have published their own iPhone 18 Pro launch offers directly on their own websites, separate from the prices on Apple’s storefronts. In Australia, Telstra is offering a flat $300 bonus trade-in credit and Vodafone Australia is bundling three months of Apple TV+ and Apple Music. In Japan, NTT Docomo is running a family-purchase points campaign. In France, Orange is largely repeating Apple’s own three-month services offer on its own page.
Every figure below comes from the carrier’s own page, checked live on September 13, not from Apple’s newsroom or the pricing detailed in Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro pricing. These offers sit alongside Apple’s own prices, not instead of them, and none of them is a claim about stock or how long any offer will last.
Telstra’s $300 bonus and its price-match promise
Telstra’s own iPhone 18 Pro page states that customers who pre-order and complete a trade-in by October 9 receive “$300 bonus trade-in credit” added on top of the device’s trade-in value. The same page offers a price-match: if a customer receives a higher trade-in quote from a competitor within 21 days of buying the new iPhone, Telstra says it will match it.

Vodafone Australia trades a subscription, not cash
Vodafone Australia’s own iPhone 18 Pro page offers new subscribers three months of Apple TV+ and Apple Music free with a purchase on a 12, 24 or 36-month plan, the same pair of services Apple itself is bundling storefront-wide, but published here as Vodafone’s own separate offer rather than Apple’s.
Docomo’s family points campaign in Japan
NTT Docomo’s own press release confirms pre-orders opened at 9:00 p.m. JST on September 12 for release on September 18. Docomo separately promotes a family bundle campaign paying up to 5,000 d-Points per device when two members of the same billing group buy at the same store in the same month. Its product page also lists its long-running device-return plan and a 5G welcome discount for new subscribers, both open to iPhone 18 Pro buyers.
Orange in France mostly repeats Apple’s own offer
Orange’s own iPhone 18 Pro launch page confirms pre-orders from September 12 and lists a three-month Apple TV free trial for new subscribers, language that matches Apple’s own store rather than adding a separate carrier-funded discount. As of this fetch, the page still carried a “Bientôt” (coming soon) label next to the pre-order date.
| Carrier | Country | Offer on the carrier’s own page | Deadline or condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Telstra | Australia | $300 bonus trade-in credit; 21-day price match | Trade-in completed by October 9 |
| Vodafone Australia | Australia | 3 months Apple TV+ and Music, new subscribers | 12, 24 or 36-month plan |
| NTT Docomo | Japan | Up to 5,000 d-Points per device, family bundle | Same store, same billing group, same month |
| Orange | France | 3 months Apple TV free, new subscribers | New subscribers only |
What could not be confirmed
Optus’s own page did not return a specific offer at fetch time, so this masthead is not reporting one for Optus; other listings describe a promotion, but that is not this carrier’s own page and is not treated as fact here. No live offer page was found for Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone Germany or O2 Germany at the URLs checked, and SFR and Bouygues Telecom were not checked directly on this pass.
| Carrier | Result |
|---|---|
| Optus (Australia) | No specific offer confirmed on the carrier’s own page at fetch time |
| Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone Germany, O2 Germany | No live iPhone 18 Pro offer page found at the URLs checked |
| SFR, Bouygues Telecom (France) | Not checked directly on this pass |
What Apple has not said
Apple’s own iPhone 18 Pro announcement, covered in Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro announcement, names no carrier deal outside the United States. Every credit, points campaign and free trial listed above comes from the carrier’s own page, not Apple, and, as with the wider launch covered in Apple’s event recap, none of it says anything about stock levels.
Carrier pages tend to change during launch week. This masthead checked the pages above live on September 13 and will check again before iPhone 18 Pro reaches stores on September 18.
