How much is the iPhone 18 Pro Max in Ireland?

Apple Ireland pricing (VAT-inclusive at 23%):

512GB	€1,649	€68.71/mo
1TB	€1,849	€77.04/mo

VAT at 23% (Ireland's standard rate) is included in the headline price. Irish prices are notably €100-€250 higher than equivalent UK prices due to VAT differential and currency exchange.

Which carriers sell the iPhone 18 Pro Max in Ireland?

Three Irish carriers:

Eir	Sept 12, 0:01 IST	Sept 18	5G Sub-6

3. Apple Trade In — trade in iPhone 15 Pro / 16 Pro for €500-€900 off sim-free.

Irish sim-free iPhones have dual eSIM (no physical SIM tray in Ireland). For Irish users who travel to the UK or US frequently, the dual eSIM allows easy carrier switching.

Should I buy iPhone 18 Pro Max in Ireland or wait for the iPhone Duo?

The iPhone Duo launches Spring 2027 in Ireland (likely April or May). Same trade-off: buy iPhone 18 Pro Max now if you want a flagship this year; wait for iPhone Duo if you want foldable.
