Using Apple’s flagship Regent Street store as our basis for the stock checks, all colors and storage configurations of the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro are available for either same-day courier delivery or in-store collection, with most 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max models also available for same-day purchase, with the exception of some higher storage configuration devices.
Apple sold out of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max in late November, leaving shoppers unable to purchase the devices from Apple in-store or online ahead of the holidays, leading respected industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo to slash his iPhone shipments forecast for the holiday quarter by 20% to 70-75 million units, down from 80-85 million units previously.
With the iPhone 14 Pro an iPhone 14 Pro Max now both showing as available for same-day courier delivery and Apple Store pickup, it appears that Apple is now (finally) catching up with demand and earlier manufacturing disruption in China, caused by a COVID-19 outbreak at the iPhone’s primary manufacturing facility.
In late October, Apple said that due to the outbreak, production of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max would be lower than anticipated in the run up to the holiday shopping season, and that customers will experience longer wait times to receive their new products.
In addition to the same-day courier delivery service, which uses stock from Apple Store locations, regular deliveries from Apple’s warehouses are also improving, with shipping estimates ranging between 3-5 working days.
