Lead times for the iPhone 14 Pro<\/a> models have stabilized after increasing due to the Zhengzhou factory’s COVID issues, an availability tracker states, while demand for the iPhone 14 models are “modest” in comparison. <\/p>\n

\n

In the ninth week of the Apple Product Availability Tracker conducted by JP Morgan analysts, the iPhone 14<\/a> Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max still have lengthy lead times. After growing by approximately a week in the week 8 results<\/a>, the two models have seen their availabilities freeze at 31 days each, the same as the previous results. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

JP Morgan says the lead times are a “likely indication of the challenges related to an ongoing COVID outbreak<\/a> in China, particularly in the area around Foxconn’s major iPhone factory.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The issues are significant enough to prompt Apple to publish a rare Sunday press release<\/a>, advising of lower production of its Pro model iPhones at the facility. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus demands continue to “remain modest,” with the overall global timescales now down to 2 days apiece from 3 days one week prior. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Relative to the iPhone 13<\/a> series, the lead times are shorter for the base iPhone 14 model, while the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are in-line with their year-ago counterparts. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For the US tracker, lead times are largely unchanged, at 3 days and 32 days for the non-Pro and Pro models respectively. Relative to the iPhone 13 generation, the iPhone 13 and mini would’ve been around 10 days at this point in the cycle. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In China, the base iPhone 14 lead time increased from 2 days one week ago to 4 days, with the iPhone 14 Plus lead times shifting from 2 days to 3 days. Even so, overall lead times for the base models are still “less favorable relative to demand last year,” which saw lead times of around a week. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max lead times in China continue to track for 29 days. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In Europe, Germany lead times for the Pro models moderated “slightly” to 32 days from 34 days a week ago. In the UK, the Pro lead times remained stable at 29 days. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The iPhone 14 and Plus tracked to 1 day in Germany, down from 5 days, whereas deliveries for the models in the UK stayed at 1 day. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The AirPods Pro<\/a> Gen 2 had its lead times expand slightly, rising from 2 days last week to 4 days. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
