Every limited collection has one finish made for people who collect rather than just replace, and in Craft by Merlin's iPhone 18 range, that is Crystal Orange. It is the most energetic finish across every edition on offer, built for buyers who want their device to look unmistakably rare from across a room. Pre-bookings are open worldwide now.
A Finish With Presence
Craft by Merlin applies the Crystal Orange customization across the full frame, bezels, camera ring, and side panels of the iPhone 18 Pro Max, then finishes it with a mirror gloss polish that makes the orange tone genuinely glow under light rather than sit flat. A scratch-resistant protective coating sits beneath the gloss, matching the durability standard used on every crystal color Craft by Merlin produces.
The Same Flagship Underneath
The bright exterior sits on top of an unmodified iPhone 18 Pro or Pro Max, meaning nothing about performance is compromised for style:
- Dynamic Island for live activities and multitasking
- A20 Pro chip for top-tier speed and efficiency
- ProMotion display with Always-On technology
- An advanced triple-lens camera system
- eSIM-only connectivity for a fully digital setup
Storage runs from 256GB to 2TB, the same broad range offered across the rest of Craft by Merlin's crystal collection.
Reserving Your Unit
Pre-book the Crystal Orange Edition today with a deposit of AED 1,000, against a full price of approximately AED 11,799, in line with the rest of the crystal line. Every pre-booking currently includes a free Apple AirPods 4, and delivery is scheduled 2 to 3 weeks after Apple's official iPhone 18 launch, with insured worldwide shipping included.
Why Collectors Choose Orange
Orange is the finish that tends to sell out fastest in limited runs, largely because it is the hardest to replicate and the easiest to spot. If you follow Craft by Merlin's drops closely, or you simply want a phone that reads as a conversation piece the moment someone sees it, this is the edition built for that instinct. It also holds strong resale and collector interest, since bold, low-availability colors are typically the first to become scarce.
Steps to Pre-Book
- Visit the [Crystal Orange product page]
- Choose your model and storage capacity
- Pay the AED 1,000 deposit to secure your unit and free AirPods 4
- Wait for your delivery window to open following Apple's official launch
Given how visually striking this finish is, it is expected to move through pre-booking allocations faster than more neutral tones, so early reservation is worth prioritizing.
