The Pro availability appears to be improving

It’s not a secret that getting an iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max isn’t necessarily the easiest thing to do these days. This is not only because the demand for the Pro models has been much higher than for the standard models but also due to the production challenges that Apple suppliers encountered in China.

But according to a new analyst note from JP Morgan and seen by the WSJ, getting an iPhone 14 Pro these days is much easier.

This is because the device not only that is shipping faster but also because some models are already in stock.

The wait times for the Pro have declined substantially, with some particular models now shipping in one or two weeks. And what’s more, if you don’t mind getting any color you find, there’s a chance that you could come across an iPhone 14 Pro that is already available in stock.

This happens mostly in the United States and China, with the analysts explaining that only certain Pro models and colors are available for immediate pickup.

Apple previously warned of supply challenges, explaining that the waiting times for the Pro models could increase significantly during the holiday season.

“COVID-19 restrictions have temporarily impacted the primary iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max assembly facility located in Zhengzhou, China. The facility is currently operating at significantly reduced capacity. As we have done throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we are prioritizing the health and safety of the workers in our supply chain,” Apple said at that point.

“We continue to see strong demand for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models. However, we now expect lower iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max shipments than we previously anticipated and customers will experience longer wait times to receive their new products.”
