While the end-of-year holiday season is generally the most prolific for Apple, incidents in the iPhone production chain changed the situation in 2022. Several factors explain this, includingClashes between Foxconn factory workers and police in China. As a result, delivery times are extended around the world and many customers are unable to offer the device of their choice for Christmas.
The magazineBloombergthen investigated to try to find out if the phenomenon is starting to be contained. And apparently, this is the case: Hon Hai's premises in Zhengzhou, where most iPhones are assembled,operating again at 90% of their original capacity. On site, no less than two hundred thousand employees would be on deck according to group officials.
For the iPhone 14 Pro, this is very good news
Among the main models that should benefit from this return to normal, we findthe iPhone 14 Pro. These are the most high-end smartphones offered by Apple, with a triple rear photo sensor, a screen with an adaptive refresh rate and 6 GB of RAM. The iPhone 14 Pro has a diagonal of 6.1 inches compared to 6.7 inches for the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
This also only bodes well for Apple, wherethe iPhone 14 Pro would be the most popular versionsaccording to several studies. The manufacturer itself, however, does not confirm or deny this information, contenting itself every quarter with providing us with sales figures by sector (iPhone / iPad / Mac / services / wearables).
Current deadlines
For the moment, however, the delays still seem to exist regarding the French Apple Stores. For an “intense purple” iPhone 14 Pro with 128 GB of internal storage, you have to waitone to two weeksto receive it according to your address. The beast is sold for 1,329 euros, compared to 1,479 euros for an iPhone 14 Pro Max with the same technical sheet and the same delivery times.
The iPhone 14 Pro comes with a USB-C to Lightning charging cable but without a power adapter in the box, directly to your home. The most impatient can also choose togo to the Apple Storeto try to have the device delivered to you more quickly. Brands are notably installed in Montpellier, Paris, Strasbourg, Lyon and Marseille.
