Last week, Apple began accepting preorders for all four iPhone 14 models. As usual, the delivery dates began to slip and are now into the October timeframe within Apple’s online Store in the U.S. as well as additional countries.
As of now, exact availability varies by the configuration as well as model type.
There were also reports that Apple was beginning to have some issues with its online store as preordering for the new iPhone 14 models began. Those lucky enough to have successfully placed an order should expect their units to arrive on launch day.
Right now, the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone Pro Max models are to begin arriving to customers and launch stores Friday, Sept. 16. The iPhone 14 Plus launches Friday, Oct. 7.
For customers that have yet to order their devices, many estimates for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models are now well into the first half of October. Orders for the standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are still looking to arrive on time for customers.
Similarly, the situation looks to be about the same in Canada, where reports indicate that nearly all iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max configurations have an estimated delivery date for October.
For customers looking to snag an iPhone 14 in person, they may be able to arrange in-store pickup at their local Apple Store during the checkout process on Apple’s website. However, selecting this option may still limit availability.
Those really wanting to push their luck may find that their local Apple Store has a limited stock of the new iPhones for walk-in customers on the day of launch.
The standard iPhone 14 features the A15 Bionic chip, which features an additional GPU core. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus also come with the new car crash detection and satellite texting features for emergencies. In terms of the Pro models, they feature an always-on display with the all-new Dynamic Island cutout, as well as a 48-megapixel rear camera lens and more.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
