Updated 1 November 2026. Prices are Quality Computer's selling prices, set from Generation Next's price list.
Update, 1 November 2026: Apple says it is aware of an issue affecting the inner display on “a small number of iPhone Duo units”, after owners posted photos of cracks and lines along the centre hinge. Apple has told anyone who sees the problem to contact AppleCare for a replacement, and has not said what causes it (Reuters; The National, 27 October 2026). Our iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max and Duo prices below are unchanged, checked on 1 November 2026.
Short answer: the iPhone 18 series starts at Rs 259,900 in Nepal for the iPhone 18 Pro (256GB). The iPhone 18 Pro Max price is Rs 279,900 for 256GB. The top 2TB models cost Rs 513,900 and Rs 534,900.

When did the iPhone 18 launch in Nepal?
The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max went on sale in Nepal on 1 October 2026, announced by Generation Next Communication (GENXT). Apple had announced them on 9 September at its first event led by John Ternus, who took over as CEO from Tim Cook on 1 September. Global pre-orders opened 12 September, and sales began 18 September in more than 65 countries, with 20 more following on 25 September.

Two things to know before you buy one in Nepal:
- It has no SIM slot anywhere in the world. You need an eSIM. Nepal Telecom has issued eSIMs since late 2022 (in branches or through the NT App), and Ncell offers them too.
- It unlocks with Touch ID, built into the side button, not Face ID. It has two rear cameras (48MP Main and 48MP Ultra Wide) and no separate telephoto lens.
Standard iPhone 18, iPhone 18e and iPhone Air 2
None of these has been announced. MacRumors reports that Apple is holding the standard iPhone 18 until spring 2027, with the more affordable models following then. Apple has not confirmed this, and there is no Nepal price for any of them. Until then, the cheapest new 2026 iPhone in Nepal is the 18 Pro at Rs 259,900.

Apple's top battery figures for the Pro models are for eSIM-only versions, which Apple sells in 12 countries including the US and Japan; Apple says they get about two more hours of video than versions with a SIM tray. Units sold in Nepal take a nano-SIM and an eSIM, so expect a little less than Apple's top figure.
What is new compared with the iPhone 17 Pro
- Variable aperture. The 48MP Main camera has six physical blades and four settings you can pick, from f/1.48 for low light to f/4 for more depth of field. It is the first iPhone with this.
- A20 Pro chip. Apple says the GPU is up to 40% faster than the A19 Pro, and the dual 16-core Neural Engine gives double the AI processing power.
- Cooling. The vapor chamber has three times the surface area of the iPhone 17 Pro's, for up to 40% better sustained performance.
- Battery. Apple calls the Pro Max's gain "the largest increase in battery life ever on iPhone": up to 45 hours of video.
- C2 modem. Apple's own second-generation modem uses 15% less energy than the C1X.
- Smaller Dynamic Island, which can show up to three Live Activities at once.
Why the iPhone 18 costs more in Nepal
Apple raised US prices by $100: the 18 Pro is $1,199 and the 18 Pro Max is $1,299. At Nepal Rastra Bank's selling rate of Rs 155.08 per dollar (12 October), the Nepal price of the 18 Pro is 1.40 times the US price, and the Pro Max 1.39 times. Three things push it up:
- Memory chips. TrendForce expected DRAM contract prices to rise 90 to 95% in the first quarter of 2026 as AI servers took supply. Tim Cook told investors on 30 July that Apple had "reluctantly raised prices" on Macs and iPads because of "a 100-year flood on memory pricing".
- Nepal's green tax. The FY 2083/84 budget added a 5% green tax on smartphones from Shrawan 1, 2083 (July 2026). It replaces the excise duty on phones rather than adding to it.
- The rupee. US prices are in dollars, so a weaker rupee raises the landed cost.
iPhone 18 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro?
| Phone | Price at Quality Computer | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 18 Pro Max 256GB | Rs 279,900 | Rs 37,401 more than the 17 Pro Max |
| iPhone 17 Pro Max | Rs 242,499 | |
| iPhone 18 Pro 256GB | Rs 259,900 | Rs 38,601 more than the 17 Pro |
| iPhone 17 Pro | Rs 221,299 | |
| iPhone 17 | Rs 173,499 |
Pay the extra for the 18 Pro if you want the variable-aperture camera, the faster chip or, on the Pro Max, the longer battery life. If you don't, the iPhone 17 Pro Max saves you about Rs 37,400 for the same 6.9-inch screen size, and we have it in stock. More on last year's models: iPhone 17 series in Nepal.
Buying an iPhone 18 in Nepal
- Buy from an authorised reseller. Grey-market phones are typically 10 to 18% cheaper, but they carry no local warranty. Quality Computer is an authorised Apple reseller (GAP Partner).
- Check the IMEI. The Nepal Telecommunications Authority has required phones to be registered in its MDMS system since September 2022. Check a phone's IMEI at mdms.nta.gov.np before you pay.
- Get a VAT bill and a warranty card. Why they matter.
- EMI. Pay 20% at the store and the rest over 12 months at 0% interest with a Nabil Bank or Machhapuchchhre Bank credit card: Rs 17,327 a month for the 18 Pro 256GB, Rs 18,660 for the Pro Max 256GB and Rs 28,727 for the Duo 256GB. Every model's down payment and EMI: iPhone EMI in Nepal.
