What colours are available for the iPhone 18 Pro Max?
Vancouver buyers can choose from four finishes:
- Black
- Silver

- Burgundy
Burgundy is the new standout finish in Apple’s 2026 Pro lineup.
What are the best iPhone 18 Pro Max deals and offers in Canada?
Apple’s main savings options include Apple Trade In and eligible 0% APR financing. Customers can receive up to C$1,415 in credit when trading in an eligible iPhone 13 or newer, although the actual value depends on the model and condition. Apple also offers eligible customers 0% APR financing over 24 months. Carrier plans and promotions can provide additional offers, so Vancouver buyers should compare the total cost before choosing between buying directly from Apple and purchasing through a carrier.
How much can Vancouver buyers save with Apple Trade In?
Eligible customers can receive up to C$1,415 in Apple Trade In credit for an iPhone 13 or newer. The maximum amount is not guaranteed because Apple’s valuation depends on the specific device and its condition. For someone upgrading from a recent iPhone, checking the Trade In value before pre-order day can help determine whether paying upfront or financing the remaining amount makes more sense.
What key features should buyers know before purchasing?
The iPhone 18 Pro Max brings significant changes to Apple’s Pro camera system and performance. It features a 48MP Fusion Main camera with variable aperture, the A20 Pro chip, a next-generation vapour chamber, new Pro camera controls, improved low-light photography and video, and a larger battery designed to deliver Apple’s longest iPhone battery life.
