Apple’siPhone 14 ProandiPhone 14 Pro Maxare two of the most sought-after handsets on the market right now. Outweighing the popularity of the standardiPhone 14and theiPhone 14 Plus, the Pro line has captured the zeitgeist, with a fantastic camera and the infamousDynamic Island.
It’s been so good, in fact, that stock availability has been patchy since it launched. At the time of writing, Apple’s website has a 4-5 week waiting time for a base modeliPhone14 Pro.
That’s not about to get any easier. Last week, I reported on the need toact fast, or you may miss outon an iPhone, due to issues at the main iPhone production facility. A Covid-19 outbreak at the Foxconn facility in Zhengzhou, China has put immense pressure on the supply chain. Many workers have left the facility, after lockdown restrictions were imposed.
Now,Applehas put out a press release, stating that shipments for the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max will be lower than expected. They also said that customers should expect to experience longer wait times for new products.
It’s less than ideal. The winter period sees consumers look for thebest Black Friday dealsin the run up to theChristmasperiod. It’s generally the peak sales period for Apple, and not having stock of their most in-demand product could be disastrous for them.
Where can I buy an iPhone 14 Pro?
As mentioned, finding stock is half the battle when it comes to the Pro range of iPhones. T3 has put together some handy guides to thebest iPhone 14 Pro dealsand thebest iPhone 14 Pro Max deals, but some of those are still listing extended delivery times.
Ultimately, there is likely to be a wait regardless of where you shop. The key thing is getting pre-orders in early, for the best chance of getting your delivery pre-Christmas. Most retailers I’ve looked at are expecting delivery around the first week of December currently. That could all change quickly, though.
