The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are on backorder, meaning there’s a delay between customers placing their order and it being shipped and delivered to them. If you were too slow in ordering the iPhone 14 Pro when it launched, you’ll likely be greeted by lengthy wait times when trying to place an order on Apple.com or other retailers.
Why are iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max on backorder?
The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are likely on backorder due to overwhelming demand.
With the standard iPhone 14 boasting few upgrades over the iPhone 13, it’s possible that those looking to upgrade have opted for the more impressive hardware found in the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
It’s also possible that Apple is facing a component shortage, for example displays, that is hindering its production speed. However, nothing of that nature has been officially confirmed.
How to get an iPhone 14 Pro today
While the iPhone 14 Pro is backordered at many retailers, it can be found on websites like Ebay.
