All iPhone 13 Pro Models Facing Up to One-Month Delay in Shipments in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom

All possible configurations of the iPhone 13 Pro and ‌iPhone 13‌ Pro Max are currently showing a 3 to 4-week, even up to a month delay in shipments in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, with in-store stock varying in availability.

At the time of writing, in the United States, every possible configuration of the ‌iPhone 13‌ Pro and ‌iPhone 13‌ Pro Max, regardless of color or storage, shows a 3 to 4 week wait time for shipments, with in-store stock varying across the country. In the United Kingdom and Canada, the situation seems direr, with all configurations showing up with up to a one-month delay, also with in-store stock varying. The ‌iPhone 13‌ and ‌iPhone 13‌ mini seem less affected, with expected shipment delays and availability across all stores.

Apple's CEO Tim Cook warned during the company's last earnings calls that industry-wide shortages could be impacting iPhone production in the coming months, added on top of increased demand for the latest iPhones. The ‌iPhone 13‌ Pro and ‌iPhone 13‌ Pro Max are likely doing well thanks to ProMotion displays and improved camera capabilities.

Early analyst numbers suggested that pre-order demand for the new high-end iPhones was initially off to a strong start. Despite the phones having started shipping to customers one week ago, the supply continues to be dry.

Apple's suppliers are reportedly struggling to keep up with Apple's high demand for the new iPhones amid the global health crisis and new energy regulation in China. Apple's supply chain will continue to be more strained in the coming months thanks to new MacBook Pros and the imminent launch of the Apple Watch Series 7.

That sucks! Congratulations to those who were able to order it on pre-order date. It was worth waking up at 05:00AM in the morning ?

I think a lot of the delivery dates are smoke and mirrors to create hype. In some instances, I've seen family or friends face delays, but rarely as long or in excess of the quoted delivery times. Often, they ship much sooner.

On the flip side, the chip shortage is real and impacting everyone including Apple, so that could be a driver this year.

It's been said before, but it really is imperative that Apple moves all of its assembly out of China. I understand Apple's been working on doing this but it really needs to happen.

There are SO many good reasons to not even contemplate buying a new iPhone until at least January. This launch day and pre order frenzy every year is for the birds.

It wasn't a big deal at all. My girlfriend and I, sister and niece all preordered our phones the day before, finished the order at 5 AM the next morning (we all get up by then or an hour later anyway), and all four of us had our phones delivered on September 24, one week later. A couple of days later we got our boxes to return our old phones. I can't imagine it being any simpler.
