Every number needed to cost the first year of an iPhone 18 Pro is on an Apple page. The 6.3-inch 256GB model is $1,199 with carrier connectivity, the TechWoven Case is $59 and AppleCare One is $19.99 a month, which totals $1,497.88 over twelve months on our arithmetic.
Year two has no equivalent sum, and not because the figures are hard to find. Apple has published no per-device AppleCare+ price for a single product it launched in September 2026, no repair price for any of them, and no price for the 60W-class adapter its own fast-charging claim rests on in any of the ten Apple storefronts we checked.

Year one, line by line
Apple’s own store pages carry every figure below. The total is ours, not a number Apple prints, and it excludes tax, trade-in credit and anything a carrier adds or takes off.

| Line item | Apple’s price | Twelve months |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 18 Pro 6.3-inch, 256GB, with carrier connectivity | $1,199 | $1,199 |
| iPhone 18 Pro TechWoven Case | $59 | $59 |
| AppleCare One | $19.99 a month | $239.88 |
| Power adapter for the 15-minute claim | Not published | Unknown |
| Total, our arithmetic | – | $1,497.88 |
Two honest caveats about that total. AppleCare One covers up to three products, so charging all of it to the phone is the conservative reading; split across three devices the phone’s share is $6.66 a month on our arithmetic. And the unlocked price is $100 higher, so the same year costs $1,597.88 if you buy the phone without carrier connectivity. Apple never states that $100 gap as a delta on its own pages.
The six accessories Apple did price
Apple’s US store lists six accessories for the phone, and the whole set adds $304 on our addition. Nobody needs all six, and the useful point is that this is the only part of the ownership bill you can close out completely on pre-order morning.
- iPhone 18 Pro TechWoven Case, $59
- iPhone 18 Pro Clear Case, $49
- iPhone 18 Pro Silicone Case, $49
- FineWoven Wallet, $59
- Wrist Strap, $29
- Crossbody Strap, $59
Why year two has no arithmetic
Apple’s support pricing pages carry rows for iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the monthly and annual AppleCare+ figures in those rows do not appear in the page Apple serves. We could not read a published AppleCare+ price for any product from this launch, so we are not printing one. Both of Apple’s announcement releases confirm only that AppleCare+ and AppleCare One plans are available.
Repair pricing is the same story with higher stakes. Apple has published no screen, back-glass or battery service price for iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Duo, AirPods 5, Apple Watch Series 12 or Apple Watch Ultra 4, and no out-of-pocket service fee for a covered claim. That is the figure that decides whether coverage is worth buying, and it is the one figure missing.
The one year-two number that is published is the subscription itself. AppleCare One runs at $19.99 a month for as long as you keep it, which is $719.64 over 36 months on our arithmetic, and AppleCare One Family is $49.99 a month from September 14 for up to six people set up through Family Sharing, with six claims a year across the group.
The adapter behind the 15-minute claim
Apple’s tech specs say up to 50 percent in around 15 minutes with a 60W USB-C adapter, sold separately, and up to 50 percent in 30 minutes with a 35W adapter plus MagSafe. MagSafe and Qi2 both top out at 25W. The charging claims are precise about wattage and silent about price: we checked ten Apple storefronts and none of them listed a 60W-class adapter with a figure next to it.
So the box gives you a cable and the spec sheet gives you a wattage, and the part that connects them is the one accessory in this launch that Apple has not priced anywhere we can cite.
What has not been confirmed
Apple has not published a per-device AppleCare+ price for any September 2026 product, a repair or battery service price for any of them, a service fee for a covered claim, or a price for the 60W-class adapter. It has not stated a warranty length on the new product pages we read. Every total in this article is our arithmetic on Apple’s published figures, and the second-year figures are absent rather than estimated.
iPhone 18 Pro pre-orders open at 12:00 UTC today, Saturday, September 12, with phones in stores on Friday, September 18. AppleCare One Family arrives on Monday, September 14, the same day as iOS 27.
