There is a growing appetite for tech that does not scream for attention, and the iPhone 18 Pro & Pro Max Crystal Nude Edition by Craft by Merlin fits squarely into that shift. Instead of a bold color or a precious metal, this finish uses a soft, skin-toned crystal glaze that reads as effortless rather than engineered. Worldwide pre-bookings are open now.
The Appeal of a Softer Finish
Craft by Merlin applies the Crystal Nude customization across the full frame, bezels, camera ring, and side panels of the iPhone 18 Pro Max, then seals it with a mirror gloss polish that gives the nude tone gentle, luminous reflections rather than a flat, matte look. A scratch-resistant coating protects the finish underneath, the same protective standard used across every crystal color in the collection.
Same Flagship Hardware Underneath
Nothing about the phone's capability changes with the finish. Every Crystal Nude unit carries the full iPhone 18 Pro or Pro Max specification:
- Dynamic Island for live activities and multitasking
- A20 Pro chip for flagship-grade performance
- ProMotion display with Always-On technology
- An advanced triple-lens camera system for professional-level photography
- eSIM-only support for a fully digital mobile experience
Storage is available from 256GB up to 2TB, giving buyers the flexibility to match capacity to how they actually use the phone.
What Your Pre-Booking Gets You
Reserve the Crystal Nude Edition for a deposit of AED 1,000, with the full price set at AED 11,799. As with every model currently open for reservation, this pre-booking includes a free Apple AirPods 4. Delivery arrives 2 to 3 weeks after Apple's official iPhone 18 launch, with worldwide insured shipping included.
Who Gravitates Toward Nude Tones
Nude and neutral finishes have become a genuine trend across fashion, interiors, and now tech, largely because they photograph well in almost any light and never compete with what someone is wearing. This edition suits buyers who see their phone as an extension of a broader aesthetic, minimalist, warm-toned, and considered, rather than as a standalone statement piece.
