Every coverage price Apple has published for this launch is a US price. AppleCare One is $19.99 a month for up to three products with $5.99 for each device after that, and AppleCare One Family is $49.99 a month from September 14. Outside the US, a buyer ordering an iPhone 18 Pro today has a purchase price, a finance plan and no published figure at all for protecting the phone.
That is the part of a cost of ownership sum that cannot be filled in anywhere. Apple has published no per-device AppleCare+ price for any product it launched in September 2026, in any storefront, so the subscriptions are the only coverage numbers in existence and they carry dollar signs.
The coverage figures, and where they apply
Apple introduced AppleCare One in the US in July 2025 and announced AppleCare One Family on September 9, 2026. Both prices are US figures, and Apple has published no monthly equivalent for another market as part of this launch.

The two ways to spread the cost that need a US address
Apple Upgrade, the lease that replaced the iPhone Upgrade Program on July 28, is provided by Klarna and is for US residents only. Apple lists the requirements plainly: a valid Social Security number or ITIN, an accepted credit or debit card, an Apple Account in good standing and a Klarna account.
Apple Card Monthly Installments is the other route, at 0 percent APR over 24 months, and Apple states that buying an iPhone that way means selecting AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon. Neither option travels. The Veterans and Military storefront, with its 10 percent discount, is a third US-only route, and Apple confirms that installments and the lease are both unavailable inside it.
What a buyer outside the US can price instead
Finance terms are the one ownership lever Apple does publish market by market, and they are not the same offer twice.
| Market | Apple’s published terms |
|---|---|
| United States | 24 months, 0 percent APR with Apple Card |
| United Kingdom | 30 months, 0 percent APR |
| Japan | Paidy, 36 instalments, 0 percent |
| Canada | Approved credit, 7.99 percent APR |
| India | No Cost EMI over 3 or 6 months |
| Germany and Australia | No figures published |
Canada is the only market where Apple prints what interest costs. Its own representative example is a C$1,099 purchase repaid as 24 payments of C$49.70 for a total of C$1,192.79, which is C$93.79 of interest, or 8.53 percent of the purchase, on our arithmetic on published figures.
Trade-in, the one lever with more than one currency
- United States: Apple’s own wording is a range, $175 to $885 in credit for an iPhone 13 or later, with no per-model table published.
- United Kingdom: Apple publishes a single figure, £455, for an iPhone 16 Pro or later.
- India: Apple India’s store says customers can save up to ₹62,000 by exchanging an eligible smartphone, and limits Mac, iPad and Apple Watch trade-in to stores, with iPhone trade-in available online as well.
- Everywhere: the figure is an estimate until Apple inspects the device, and every iPhone value was revised downward on September 9.
What has not been confirmed
- No AppleCare One or AppleCare One Family price outside the US, and no AppleCare+ price for any September 2026 product in any market.
- No repair price for the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone Duo, AirPods 5, Apple Watch Series 12 or Ultra 4.
- No German or Australian finance terms, which Apple has not published in a form we can cite.
- No published UK price for AirPods 5, Apple Watch Series 12 or Ultra 4, which leaves part of the ownership sum blank in that market as well.
Pre-orders open worldwide at the same instant today, Saturday, September 12, and the iPhone 18 Pro reaches its first markets on Friday, September 18, with 20 more countries following on September 25. Apple Watch Series 12 and AirPods 5 arrive on September 18 as well, and the coverage prices for all of them are still a US-only list.
