Under normal conditions, ordering a new iPhone has been a breeze in recent years, however, due to the erratic behavior of Apple’s checkout system on its Apple Store app and Apple online store, delivery dates are being pushed further back.

When should I expect my iPhone 14 to arrive
The ordering process isn’t just buggy for Apple. There have also been reports that carriers such as T-Mobile (opens in new tab), Verizon (opens in new tab), and AT&T (opens in new tab) have been experiencing similar issues. With that said not everyone is suffering from pre-order glitches, many have easily ordered their new iPhone and stand at the ready to rub our faces in it when it arrives. Unsurprisingly, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max configurations are garnering the most purchases, they’re now on backorder until October. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus appear to be in ample supply, thanks in part to lesser demand, and most folks desire to go big or go home. According to a survey by reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is expecting 85% of iPhone 14’s sold will be of the Pro and Max variety, which could push delivery times further out. Most consumers will opt for the Dynamic Island version of the latest iPhone, with some impatient iPhone devotees settling for readily available entry-level and plus models. H/T 9to5Mac
