If you want to buy either the iPhone 14 or its siblings in the normal September launch window, you may run into problems as one or more models may be delayed or initially available in small numbers. I have.
This is because Apple's Chinese parts supplier has defaulted due to the blockade of Covid, according to a report from Nikkei Asia.
Apple is currently trying to make up for the lost time by asking its suppliers to speed up the process, but according to "multiple sources who know the problem directly," the iPhone 14 line production schedule and It turns out that the initial production is affected. As of right now, all four iPhone 14 models appear to be in the Engineering Verification Test (EVT) phase, which is expected to be completed by the end of June if on schedule, but at least one model reports about three. It is a few weeks behind schedule.
Apple seems to be doing its best to get things back on track, but if the company fails, at least one model could be delayed or launched in small quantities.
Analysis: Order Early
Based on this news, it seems worth pre-ordering as soon as possible as it can reduce the possibility of delayed reception on iPhone 14. However, this information may be incorrect or Apple may have made up for the lost time. If not, waiting a few more weeks is probably not the end of the world. Before that, you can see how good the iPhone 14's range really is, especially if Apple hands the phone to the tester on time. It separates your money in itself.
This is even more important given that the iPhone 14 range can be slightly more expensive than the iPhone 13 range. Therefore, you need to be very confident that it is worth the purchase.
