“Chaos,” “disappointment” and “failure” are how the delivery times for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max were described during the holiday season. After Apple introduced its new iPhone series, it had great difficulty in meeting the high demand, then the situation worsened with riots at iPhone City, Foxconn’s largest factory in China!

Delivery times are finally under control in France and worldwide

If you tried to buy an iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max in November or December, you might he was surprised With the specified delivery time before adding the model you are interested in to the cart. Indeed, Apple has shown a shortage of stock, exacerbated by delivery times up to 1 month waiting to buy a new iPhone.
