Apple iPhone 14 series can be said to be experiencing a polarized situation, with no one asking for the standard version pre-cold and additional orders for the sought-after Pro series, and as of September 20, Apple’s major offline shops still don’t have any stock available for sale. Today, we learned from Apple’s official website that the iPhone 14 Pro is available for order on the same day, with an expected delivery time of 5-6 weeks, almost until November, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max is expected to be delivered in 6-7 weeks. “The latest delivery time for the iPhone 14 Pro Max is 6-7 weeks.
It is also worth noting that the 6-7 week wait time surpasses the average 3-4 week wait time for the iPhone 13 Pro series last year, making it the longest “standby time” in Apple’s history.
A few days ago, Tianfeng Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple has asked supplier Hon Hai to increase iPhone 14 Pro series production capacity by converting part of the iPhone 14 production line to iPhone 14 Pro production line as demand for the iPhone 14 Pro series has exceeded expectations. He expects iPhone 14 Pro shipments to increase by an estimated 10 percent in the fourth quarter of this year.
It is worth noting that Apple is expected to further expand its high-end market share in the country after Huawei lost its high-end market. The market predicts that some consumers who intend to switch to a new phone may choose the iPhone 13 Pro series, even if they do not choose the iPhone 14 Pro series given the price factor.
