September 16 marks the release of the newest models of Apple- the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro. Many eager buyers were waiting for the day, but the occasion has been spoiled for many of them as numerous reports of last-minute order delays were received.
According to the reports of 9to5Mac, various iPhone 14 preorders, which were scheduled to be delivered on the release date initially, were delayed by the technology company at the eleventh hour. Although buyers have not seen considerable changes in the estimated delivery dates, it is no surprise that Apple has always been relatively conservative about the expected shipping timings. Even in the past, there have been multiple occasions when Apple advised customers to wait for an extended period before they could try their hands on the new models.
Despite frequent delays, Apple seemed pretty optimistic this year. The company appeared confident about the number of mobile phones available on the release day.
As per a news article posted earlier this week, the number of preorders booked for the base models- iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are soft. Therefore, it is not surprising the maximum delays reported on Friday are mainly for the top models, which are iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
