JP Morgan Analyst Says iPhone 13 Delivery is Now Stable
Samik Chatterjee, lead analyst at JP Morgan, reported that the supply chain for the iPhone 13 has finally hit an equilibrium, meaning you won’t have to wait in endless queues for Apple’s hottest model again.
Key Takeaways
- iPhone 13 Pro Max: Average 3‑day delivery time.
- iPhone 13 Pro: Average 5‑day delivery time.
- iPhone 13: Average 3‑day delivery time.
- iPhone 13 Mini: Average 3‑day delivery time.
Comparing Week‑on‑Week
These figures are remarkably consistent with the previous week, which recorded delivery averages of 5, 5, 2, and 2 days respectively. The slight uptick for the Pro models indicates demand is still high, but the overall steadiness is a good sign for consumers.
What Does This Mean for Buyers?
Shorter wait times suggest that the bottlenecks at Apple’s factories and shipping partners have eased. Customers can now plan their purchases with more confidence, knowing that the delay once associated with the iPhone 13’s launch is largely behind us.
iPhone 13 Delivery Times: What’s the Buzz?
Got your eyes on the iPhone 13 Pro Max or the iPhone 13 Pro? In the U.S., you’ll likely be staring at a delivery window of one to two days. Hold up— the regular iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are still playing hide‑and‑seek and don’t show any ETA just yet.
How It Actually Plays Out Around the Globe
- China: Lead times during the 15th week hovered around 1, 5, 0, and 0 days—pretty much a “beat the clock” experience.
- Germany & the UK: Those markets saw a quick‑rush drop down to just 6 days. And if you’re in the UK, you can snag your phone in‑store—no waiting for the “courier drama”.
Why Everyone’s Giggling at the Higher‑End Models
According to Chatterjee, the higher‑tier iPhone 13 variants are getting the love and the front‑row seats at the price table. It seems the more features you want, the harder the head buy vibe—at least you’re still the cool kid in the crowd.
