The iPhone 18 Pro starts at S$1,899 in Singapore and AED 5,099 in the UAE for 256GB, rising to S$3,699 and AED 10,199 for the new 2TB tier, according to Apple’s Store pages for the two countries. The iPhone 18 Pro Max runs from S$2,099 to S$3,899 in Singapore and from AED 5,499 to AED 10,599 in the UAE.
Both Store pages now list all four storage tiers, so the full ladders can be laid out side by side. We are not converting between the two currencies or against the US dollar, because Apple sets each price list independently. For the US structure the figures are built on, see our iPhone 18 Pro price explainer.

The storage steps in Singapore dollars
In Singapore, going from 256GB to 512GB on the iPhone 18 Pro costs S$300 (S$1,899 to S$2,199). The next step, 512GB to 1TB, costs S$600 (S$2,199 to S$2,799), and 1TB to 2TB costs S$900 (S$2,799 to S$3,699). The steps double and then triple the first one, which is the same 1:2:3 pattern Apple uses in the US, where the steps are $200, $400 and $600.
Adding them up, S$300 plus S$600 plus S$900 is S$1,800, so the 2TB Pro costs S$1,800 more than the 256GB model. S$3,699 divided by S$1,899 is about 1.95, meaning the top tier is just under twice the price of the base one. The Pro Max follows identical steps from S$2,099, reaching S$3,899.
The storage steps in UAE dirhams
The UAE ladder uses the same shape with bigger numbers. From 256GB to 512GB is AED 850 (AED 5,099 to AED 5,949), from 512GB to 1TB is AED 1,700 (AED 5,949 to AED 7,649), and from 1TB to 2TB is AED 2,550 (AED 7,649 to AED 10,199). Again each step is a multiple of the first: 850, then 2 times 850, then 3 times 850.
The total spread is AED 850 plus AED 1,700 plus AED 2,550, which is AED 5,100, and AED 10,199 divided by AED 5,099 is almost exactly 2.00. The Pro Max climbs the same AED 850, 1,700 and 2,550 steps from AED 5,499 to AED 10,599.
- Singapore: S$1,899, plus S$300, plus S$600, plus S$900 equals S$3,699
- UAE: AED 5,099, plus AED 850, plus AED 1,700, plus AED 2,550 equals AED 10,199
The Pro Max premium: S$200 versus AED 400
The gap between the two phones is flat at every tier in both countries. S$2,099 minus S$1,899 is S$200 and S$3,899 minus S$3,699 is also S$200. AED 5,499 minus AED 5,099 is AED 400 and AED 10,599 minus AED 10,199 is AED 400. As a share of the base price, that is S$200 over S$1,899, about 10.5 percent, in Singapore, and AED 400 over AED 5,099, about 7.8 percent, in the UAE.
In both countries the Pro Max premium is smaller than the cheapest storage step, so the 6.9-inch display and Apple’s 45-hour video playback rating cost less to add than the move from 256GB to 512GB. Our iPhone 18 Pro vs Pro Max comparison covers what else the bigger phone changes.
Pre-order times, purchase limits and eSIM
Singapore pre-orders open at 8:00 pm SGT on Saturday, September 12, with availability on Friday, September 18, per Apple’s Singapore Store page. That page also sets a purchase limit of two iPhone 18 Pro and two iPhone 18 Pro Max per customer. In the UAE, pre-orders open at 4:00 pm local time on September 12, with availability on September 18, per Apple’s UAE Store page.
One difference to note: Apple’s press release lists the UAE among the 12 countries and regions where the iPhone 18 Pro is eSIM-only with no SIM tray. Singapore is not on that list, so the phone sold there keeps a physical SIM slot alongside dual eSIM. Apple has not published AppleCare+ pricing or trade-in values for either country. The event recap has everything else Apple announced on September 9.
