As we have already seen with the previous generation and also with its predecessor, this year the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max They do not have immediate availability from the moment of pre-sale until now. On the contrary, and as we have been able to verify and without availability in stores, the waiting times from order to receipt are slowly but steadily increasing, again proving the huge appeal that high-end products have. this generation.

That explains it, of course Apple may be considering a new price jump with the change of generation, with the arrival of the still distant but already expected iPhone 15 Pro Ultra, which will take over the existing iPhone 14 Pro Max. And we have to remind you that the price of the 14 Pro Max starts at 1,469 euros for the 128 gigabyte model. The iPhone 14 Pro starts at 1,319 euros, also in the 128 GB configuration.

Added to this huge demand was the fact that Apple is facing limited supply issues, which also affects the total volume of units coming to the market. The company says it is doing everything it can to fix these issues, but of course its capacity is limited in this regard and the dates are approaching when purchases and gifts will take center stage. Something that would otherwise be a win-winas they say in the marketing worlds, but in the current situation it’s more of a loss-loss.

So with current availability, our recommendation is very, very clear: if you want to give an iPhone 14 Pro as a gift, buy it now. And so, if you go to Apple’s website and check the delivery time (it will appear after selecting all purchase options), you will see that the estimated delivery date is December 23rd (and I am counting on the fact that there is no incident in the shipment). And within what fits, we’re in luck because if you do the same check, but in the United States, you’ll see that the estimated date is December 27th, right after Christmas, according to Softpedia.

you stillYou have a bit more margin if you prefer Three Kingsinstead of Christmas Day, but even then it shouldn’t be too long because the date will no doubt move and before you know it you’ll be on the limit, as is the case today with those who want it on December 24th.

The good news if you finally missed the deadline is at least that availability of iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max is immediate, both in store and by mail. It’s not the same, I know, but hey, nothing beats it.
