You only have a few days left to act if you hope to have an iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max under the tree. Indeed, Apple indicates on its site that the smartphones will be delivered on October 22 if they are ordered today. The standard and Plus models, on the other hand, can be delivered the day after the order is placed. We explain to you what is going on.
In recent years, you have to take it seriously in advance for a nice gift for tech lovers. Indeed, the shortage of components has not made life easier for players and other smartphone owners (to name a few), nor that of their loved ones. This year will be no exception to previous ones: if you plan to offer an iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max to someone, we seriously advise you not to delay too long.
Indeed, the Apple site is formal: if you order one of these models today, it will not arrive before December 22. Suffice to say that you do not have much room for maneuver if this gift is still in your plans. The fault of component supply problems, but also the production chain which has been disrupted in recent days.

A few days ago, an iPhone 14 Pro manufacturing facility owned by Foxconn shut down, further aggravating the situation. For the time being, Apple therefore seems to be holding up, with rather reasonable delivery times given the situation. So let’s hope that things will gradually improve as 2023 approaches. It should also be noted that the less powerful models do not present any problems and can be delivered the next day.
