Apple iPhone 14 Series Shipment Delayed Until October

Last week, Apple introduced the iPhone 14 series along with other new products, including new Apple Watch models and AirPods Pro 2. Sales of these devices were scheduled to begin on September 16, but it looks like buyers of the Pro models will have to wait until October to get their hands on these devices.

Delay in iPhone 14 Pro shipments

iPhone 14 pre-orders have reportedly hit a snag as Apple fans try to get hold of the latest offerings. There have been several tweets showing that fans are having trouble getting their orders to work for the iPhone 14 series through the Apple Store. After 45 minutes of testing, bugs reportedly affected everything from pre-orders to trade-in options. The online Apple Store is providing redirects with “Page Not Found” messages.

Previously, only the iPhone 14 Plus was delayed until October, but now buyers of each iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will have to wait until October. It looks like the regular iPhone 14 won’t have any delays and shipments could start on September 16 as expected.

In particular, Apple has not confirmed anything regarding the iPhone 14 series shipment delay.
