iPhone 14 Pro, delivery times improve but that’s not enough

iPhone 14 Pro, delivery times improve but that’s not enough. In China, the easing of lockdowns and closures due to Covid is being felt: Apple and Foxconn are working to try to return to full production levels as quickly as possible in the mega iPhone factory in Zhengzhou: over the weekend, the shipping times of the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max improved by 7 – 10 days virtually everywhere in the world.

In the previous weeks, the wait for this year’s top Apple models had reached 35-42 days for orders from the online Apple Store, while for a few hours now, the wait times for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max have been down to 25-29 days practically everywhere in the world.

At the time of writing in Italy you have to wait 3 weeks for the iPhone 14 Pro, while the basic model iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are indicated as immediately available with delivery the day after the order. The timing is substantially very similar in the other countries as well.

Meanwhile JP Morgan reports that the supply and demand trend of the Apple Watch range is proceeding balanced with Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE indicated with delivery times of 8 days, while 4 days are needed for the Apple Watch Ultra. In this case, times are slightly increased by one day for all models, as is the case above all in the USA, due to greater demand during the discount period and Christmas gift purchases.

The improvement in the waiting times of the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max is an important first positive sign which according to some analysts gives hope that the worst is now over, provided that other problems and blocks do not occur in China. The speed and ability of Apple and Foxconn to return to optimal iPhone production levels will be the special observation throughout the month of December by all the most important market and analysis companies.
