Expect fewer iPhones in your Christmas stockings: Apple just warned of fewer iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max shipments due to supply disruptions in China
Customers who ordered the iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max should expect"longer wait times" for their new phones,The tech giant said it's anticipating lower shipments for the newest iPhone models than previously expected, due to COVID restrictions at a primary assembly plant in Zhengzhou, China.
