iPhone 13 Delivery Times Improve Ahead of Holiday Season

Co-ordinate to JP Morgan, iPhone 13 customers would not need to expect equally long for the delivery of their new phone, indicative of increased product. Despite this, lead times for the iPhone thirteen remain longer than for the iPhone 12.

In an investor note, JP Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee mentioned that the lead times for iPhone xiii and iPhone xiii Pro have reduced for the second consecutive week. When the iPhone 12 launched, customers didn't take to wait every bit long afterwards the same amount of time had elapsed since its launch. The analyst added that in some regions, the pb time for the iPhone 13 is on par with the iPhone 12.

The latest iPhone has been in short supply due to the ongoing global chip shortage that has impacted production at the facilities of Apple'southward partners. This is why the iPhone 13 has noticeably longer lead times than the iPhone 12. Despite being a seemingly minor upgrade over the iPhone 12, the initial demand for the iPhone 13 series has been very potent which has further exacerbated the supply crunch.

Across all the regions that JP Morgan was tracking, pb times compared to the calendar week earlier chastened equally follows:

iPhone 13 mini atomic number 82 fourth dimension dropped from eight days to v
iPhone xiii lead fourth dimension dropped from 10 days to v
iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone xiii Pro Max atomic number 82 time dropped from 26 days to 23

The analyst observed that compared to the final-generation iPhone, atomic number 82 times are at present a tad bit alee across all the models.

The US accounts for 35 percent of all iPhone shipments. Hither, the delivery dates for the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone thirteen dropped to vii and eight days downward from 10 and xi days, respectively. The iPhone thirteen Pro and Pro Max models show estimated commitment dates 21 days out, downwards from 28 days.

Meanwhile, in People's republic of china, pb times for the iPhone 13 dropped from 17 days to just seven days — a pregnant reduction, accompanied by similar reductions in delivery times for other iPhone 13 models. Delivery dates as well drew closer to the date of purchase in the U.k. and Germany. The regions account for 5 percent of all iPhone shipments.

That said, lead times are non an accurate representation of the demand or supply of the iPhone. This is primarily considering both metrics are related to each other. Chatterjee noted that the delivery dates drawing closer could suggest an increase in supply, presumably ahead of the busy vacation flavour.
