iPhone 14 Pro Availability Improving as Holidays Approach

[MacRumors]

Availability of iPhone 14 Pro models are beginning to improve on Apple's online store as the holidays continue to approach, a sign that the company has possibly largely caught up with demand following production disruptions.

As we've reported previously, both the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max were estimated to begin shipping in three to four weeks, according to Apple's online store. Apple warned that production disruptions in China would impact supply and said it was doing everything possible to improve supply conditions.

As the holidays continue approaching, both models are seeing improved estimated shipping dates on Apple's online store. In specific configurations, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are estimated to begin shipping in just one to two weeks. Under the current estimations, customers looking to gift an iPhone 14 Pro are unlikely to receive the iPhone in time for Christmas, though that would depend on the specific location and the model.

I hope the deliveries normalize, a lot want the iPhone 14 pro models. If ordered today both the Pro and the Pro Max are saying Jan 6 - Jan 13 for the base model.

Damn people still can’t get their hands on them?

I would just wait until next years model. Very fortunate I able to get mine on launch day.

I wonder what next years colour will be.

Very good news about supply for iPhone and for….drum roll… Apple AR. Is Appl AR going to be bigger than iPhone? Tim says it’s “critical to Apple” so I’m guessing yes.

Wait another year instead of just two weeks AND when the carriers give it to you basically for free? Why would I ever wait a year?

I am still waiting in Eastern Europe! Ordered my iPhone 14 Pro Max on 29.09.2022...
Shame on Apple.

Yeah. Even in my country, they are generally sold out.
If one wanted one, better at least wait for the new mid-cycle color.

I'm considering waiting till spring so I can spend money on it without a contract.

Had no trouble getting 2 for in store pickup

Just picked up a Pro Max 256 gigs in gold. Happy Holidays! ☺️

Hey I had my hand’s on a 14 pro max this weekend😂🤣

Yeah, same here - preordered & got mine on launch day. Knowing how freakingly good the 48 Mpixel ProRAW mode is (on par with even my Sigma DP2M camera!!), it'd be VERY hard for me to decide whether I should wait for the next model or just get the 14Pro now. With previous models, the decision would have been waiting instead. (Of course I got them all on launch day to avoid losing a single day of using them, LOL.)

That's what she said...

Apple AR and iPhone will be complimentary. They'll work together wirelessly.

No point in having a lightweight set of glasses hobbled with an A-series cpu/gpu and large battery to power it.

Weird thing is the store stock looks to be much better, but the shipping keeps slipping into the future

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

This is a great news. Glad, Apple was able to get all caught up.

 

[The Game 161]

in UK only carriers seem to be stocking them. gone through Vodafone just to get it for Christmas for the wife.

 

[crsh1976]

Given the news coming out of China right now, it should not be a surprise if stock issues worsen very soon unfortunately.

Because your user name says you must.

 

[sw1tcher]

Yes, it was Apple and Apple alone who put in all the work and extra over time to get those iPhones assembled and shipped out.

When iPhone X launched in 2017, I purposely waited until March 2018 to buy mine. If you need a phone, you buy it when it’s available. An iPhone 14 is likely to get iOS releases up to 2030.

 

[BorisDG]

Damn the 14 Pro is like PS5 an year ago.

 

[PauloSera]

I love the subtle suggestion that people buy Pro iPhones are holiday gifts. That's silly.

 

[sw1tcher]

Damn the 14 Pro is like PS5 an year ago.

People are paying 2x-3x more than retail for the 14 Pro like they did for the PS5? 😲

 

[compwiz1202]

I wouldn't say caught up if shipping is still Jan 6-13. Store at least has gotten better. What is the most popular config? I wanted the PM 256GB Purple. Now that one shows up again. One of the furthest of the closest stores, but still shows.
