Apple iPhone 14 Series Shipment Delayed Until October

Last week, Apple launched the iPhone 14 series along with other new products, including new Apple Watch models and AirPods Pro 2. The company has started accepting pre-orders for the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. While the sale of these devices was slated to debut on September 16 but it looks like buyers of the Pro models might have to wait until October to get these devices.

Allegedly, the iPhone 14 pre-orders have hit a stumbling block at a time when Apple fans are trying to get hold of the latest offerings. A flurry of tweets has surfaced that fans are facing trouble getting their orders for the likes of the iPhone 14 series processed via the Apple Store. After 45 minutes of trying, Errors are reported to have affected everything from pre-orders to trade-in options. The online Apple Store is serving redirects with "Page Not Found" messages.

Earlier, it was only the iPhone 14 Plus that was delayed until October but now the buyers of almost every version of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max have to wait until October. It looks like the standard iPhone 14 will not have any delays and the shipments could debut on September 16 as expected.

Notably, Apple has not confirmed anything regarding the delay in the iPhone 14 series shipments.
