Apple’s new iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will not be available to consumers until November due to high demand.
The device’s initial release date is October 7, and anyone who pre-ordered a gadget should still receive it on time; however, Apple’s website indicates that shipping will occur between November 3 and November 10.
Industry guru Ming-Chi Kuo, noted for his excellent forecasts, predicted that the majority of orders would be for the Pro, as the iPhone 14 was ‘very poor – and it appears he was once again correct.
Bloomberg reported last month that Apple had reduced manufacturing of the iPhone 14, forgoing an extra six million devices this year in addition to the 90 million units already manufactured in 2021.
iPhone 14 Pro begins at $999, while iPhone 14 Pro Max begins at $1,099 The gadgets were available for pre-order on September 9, and early adopters would receive their smartphone on October 7.
Apple anticipated the pair’s popularity among users. Orders placed with its suppliers indicated that the company expected smartphones to account for 85 percent of its sales.
Cult of Mac was the first to reveal that the tech giant was not adequately prepared, as supplies have not been able to keep up with demand.
Apple’s new Dynamic Island, which stands at the top of the display and provides rapid access to alerts, is one of the most significant modifications.
Another significant new feature of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max is the always-on display, which keeps the Lock Screen information visible even while the phone is in standby mode.
This is a popular function on many Android phones as well as the Apple Watch, but the iPhone is the first to offer it.
iOS 16 introduces the ability to personalize the Lock Screen, so in addition to the time and date, you can also add widgets displaying the weather, battery level, and upcoming events. Additionally, notifications appear at the bottom of the Lock Screen.
The primary camera on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Mx is now equipped with a 48-megapixel sensor, up from 12 megapixels on the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max.
These enhancements have propelled the iPhone Pro and Pro Max to the top of the popularity rankings.
In a note to clients over the weekend, JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee stated, “iPhone demand remains quite elevated for the Pro models but weaker for the base models compared to a year ago, with 14 Pro and Pro Max lead times tracking in line with better than 13 Pro and Pro Max lead times, offset by shorter lead times for base models.”
The same cannot be stated of the Apple iPhone 14.
The lack of enthusiasm among consumers is largely attributable to price increases for markets outside the United States and inflation, causing users to hold on to their older iPhone models rather than purchase the newest model.
