Iphone 14 | iPhone 14 Pro (Max): Hardly any delivery times – production is apparently back to normal news | apple iphone

A large gap opened up between supply and demand for the iPhone 14 Pro (Max) during the Christmas business of all days. Corona lockdowns and labor unrest in China overshadowed the last quarter of last year and led to significant production losses. The result was weeks of delivery times, of all things, for the high-end smartphones from Cupertino. It was only at the beginning of January that Apple’s most important contract manufacturer, Foxconn, was able to ramp up production again at the Zhengzhou plant and almost reach the usual level. This now leads to a significant relaxation in the availability of the iPhone 14 Pro (Max).

iPhone 14 Pro (Max) finally available again at short notice
Almost all versions of Apple’s premium smartphones are currently available from stock. If you currently order an iPhone 14 Pro (Max) in the Apple Online Store, you will usually receive it the next working day. This applies to almost all color options and memory configurations, even the most expensive variants with 1 terabyte are available at short notice. The devices are also in stock in most stationary Apple Stores and can be picked up. Apparently, Apple and Foxconn have managed to overcome the bottlenecks of the past few months and produce a sufficient number of devices to be able to meet demand.

Delivery times are also normalizing in other countries
In other countries, the delivery situation has also almost returned to normal. According to a recent study by JP Morgan, US customers, for example, have to AppleInsider available, only have to wait four days for their devices, this applies to both the Pro and the non-Pro models. Most versions are available for immediate pickup in the Apple Stores. The delivery time in China is currently three days, the same applies to most European countries. According to the analysts of the US bank, Apple owes the relaxation in delivery times not only to the full resumption of production in the Chinese plants. Demand for iPhones is lower than it was a few weeks ago, but that’s traditionally seen every year after the holiday season, the report says.
