The 13 Pro represents a much bigger upgrade from the 12 Pro than the 12 Pro was over the 11 Pro, yet because the 12 Pro was a newish design, people went nuts. 5G didn’t sell the 12 Pro. It had the same notch, same 60Hz display, and only the 12 Pro Max had a noticeable camera upgrade worthwhile. Meanwhile, the 13 Pro delivered ProMotion with brighter display, significantly better battery life, major improvements to the camera with new features like Macro and ProRes, much better Night Mode and low light, and a smaller notch. In my opinion, the 13 Pro is the epitome of what the X was supposed to be.

Bloomberg is credible? I don't think so.
It's Bull **** from Bloomberg - they don't have to be correct - they just have to move the stock price to have a worthy article.

Isn't he/she/it just a bot?If @TheYayAreaLiving could just stop ordering so many, there would be enough for everyone.
I can afford it and will enjoy the speed for many years to come. doing a batch treatment and export on a number of raw images will make a difference. I am also as a hobby busy with video and 3d. Also, actually I am an engineer since 2 decades from before I had my current Air.
It depends how long the delay is right? If you can’t get something for the holidays people might purchase something else they can get.
If they can’t buy something for a gift because of delays they are going to buy a different gift. We’re not talking about not buying forever, we’re talking about not buying for holiday season I s maybe a better way of saying it.
Is it not possible Apple could have supply chain issues causing the delays in shipments AND have weakened demand (compared to the 12s or projections), especially if the disruptions are as bad as what is being claimed?
I’m not saying the 13 lineup is not a major upgrade for those with older models. I‘m saying this is probably the least compelling upgrade year over year in the history of iPhone, like the 4th gen. iPad Pro (maybe not that bad, but you get the point).
Yup, all three things could be true as well.
1- It's the least compelling upgrade, 2-they still would have had a record quarter, just from those "due to upgrade" (like me), despite the non-wowing upgrade, and 3-the supply chain issues are preventing the record quarter from happening!Non iPhone related, I went car shopping yesterday, and they had 7 new vehicles total (acroll all models from that automaker) in the lot, compared to about 250 they would normally have. For the model I want, they only have 1 new one coming each month, with some of the standard features removed and credited from the sticker price, because they don't have the chips available for those features. It's a really weird time right now.
