The main foundry of the iPhone 14 Pro series, which was affected by the epidemic, has not yet returned to normal levels, and the shipping time is longer than the same period in previous generations.
But the latest analyst tracking report shows that iPhone 14 Pro Series capacity has improved and shipments have shortened from the previous week.
The analyst report shows that in week 13 of the iPhone 14 series launch, the Pro Series has been shipped globally in 29 days, down from 35 days the week before, while iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus have remained at 3 days.
The shortened shipping time for the iPhone 14 Pro Series worldwide also means that shipping times in key markets around the world have also improved significantly.
In the U.S., the Pro Series took 25 days to ship, down from 33 days the week before; in the domestic market, it took 39 days, down from 43 days; in Germany, it took 25 days, down from 32 days the week before; and in the U.K., it took 27 days, down from 33 days.
In the four major markets mentioned above, iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus have seen shorter and more consistent shipping times than the Pro Series, with the U.S. market remaining stable at 4 days, the domestic market shortening from 2 days to 1 day, and the German and U.K. markets shortening from 4 days to 3 days.
In the report, analysts said that iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus ship in roughly the same amount of time compared to the iPhone 13 series over the same period, but the Pro Series takes longer to ship.
While iPhone 14 Pro Series capacity has improved and shipping times have been shortened, analysts also said in the report that current shipping times are still longer than they were before the outbreak affected major factories and that challenges remain in reaching normal levels.
