iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max Orders From Apple No Longer Delayed

[MacRumors]

Supply of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max has been restored to normal levels following months of production disruptions that severely impacted the availability of Apple's highest-end iPhones.

In November, in a rare press release on its website, Apple warned that supply of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max would be heavily constrained due to lockdown restrictions impacting its main iPhone assembly plant in China.

"We continue to see strong demand for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models. However, we now expect lower iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max shipments than we previously anticipated, and customers will experience longer wait times to receive their new products," the company said. "We are working closely with our supplier to return to normal production levels."

The disruptions resulted in customers being forced to wait several weeks to receive their new iPhone 14 Pro models in the United States and other markets. Availability of the models started to improve around late December, but now appear to have been fully restored.

Apple's online store in the United States shows all configurations of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max as in stock and ready to be shipped to customers within 24 hours, a stark difference from the three to four-week wait time from several weeks ago.

Finally, after half of a year, ridiculous delay.

Finally, after half of a year, ridiculous delay.

It's been three and a half months since they were launched.

Too late. The demand disappeared after Christmas, so it doesn’t matter they can now make enough iPhones, most people won’t bother buying it now and just wait until September for the next model, unless their phone breaks.

Lol….so when did you notice you were able to read people’s minds? Wait 10 months? No way. Besides with trade ins the carriers basically give it to you for free.

 

[scrapesleon]

So supply finally outweigh demand now

 

[Six0Four]

They were never at "normal levels".

 

[Shirasaki]

No longer delayed you say.

In-stock Availability is still not great, at least in Sydney region.

 

[jonnysods]

It’s a shame they bury sales numbers, I’d love to know how many 14 Pro units are selling. They seen popular.

I think they meant in US for now. It will probably get better in other parts of the world as well in 1-2 weeks.

It's too late. I cannot flaunt it and flexing my delayed Deep Purple iPhone 14 Pro Max with my ostentatious bling case emblazoned with "THIS IS 1TB!" letters on it because it is like, so three months ago. 😛

[philcourage]

Great news!
Still not buying it.

Greece is still delayed, and terribly overpriced.

Luckily my cousin is coming from NY in 10 days, so I ordered the 256 Pro Max in deep purple from the States, saving me about 500 euros, even more if I didnt order a silicone case as well.

There might be some that desided just to wait a year to upgrade, but Apple has pretty strong sales year round. I think that is due to it being the preferred phone for corporate sales which are not subject to the new release rush.

Nope

70% of iPhone sales happen from Jan to end of Sept

Does your country support esim , you are suppose to buy the phone from the market you live in if you want it to work , If your carrier does not support esim the phone will be useless to you

 

[philcourage]

I hope the 15 is not another 12 SSSS, but I'm not holding my breath.

More like a quarter, I'd say.

 

[newdeal]

The next iPhone that I buy will have USB-C until then I see no reason to replace my 12

In stock for delivery sure seems to be the definition of not delayed.

 

[coffeemilktea]

I just checked, if I order a 1TB 14 Pro (in Space Black), I can get it delivered in two days.

...now if only I had the money for it... 😅

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Glad, it's finally caught up. I'm sure it has hurt the sales of the iPhones.

Yeah, it makes no sense to buy the 14 right now. People should just wait since the 15 is right around the corner.

The 14 is already 6 months old 🤣

I have esim on my current 11 Pro Max here in Greece, so it shouldnt be an issue.

Now you made me nervous, so Im calling my phone company now haha.

Edit: So I called, and all is well haha All I have to do is pay 10 euros to transfer my account to the new iPhone.

I think Shirasaki is referring to the part where a 256GB iPhone 14 Pro Max in Silver is Not available today at 10 nearest stores and so Apple is recommending a 256GB iPhone 14 Pro Max in Gold instead if Shirasaki wanted one now (today).
