If you’re hoping to snag an iPhone 15 handset, there’s better news, as the post-launch shipping times are beginning to improve, but aren’t quite at the levels of the iPhone 14 collection.
The third week of J.P. Morgan’s Product Availability Tracker indicates delivery lead times have started to moderate. This is fairly typical to observe, and mirrors lead time trajectories of previous years.
Per the tracker, lead times moderated by four days over the past week, with the bulk of change occurring on the high-end models. Lead times for the non-Pro models remained “largely unchanged.”
For global lead times, the at-home delivery timing for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus was 17 days for both models in week 3, the same as in week 2. The iPhone 15 Pro saw a drop from 36 days to 29 days, while the Pro Max went from 54 days to 46 days.
According to a note released by J.P. Morgan, the elevated lead time for the non-Pro models is “at least partly attributable to supply ramp issues that have since been resolved.” Elevated Pro lead times were “likely impacted by the confluence of early order momentum and slower supply ramp.”
In the United States, the lead times for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus remained unchanged around 15 days apiece, while the Pro and Pro Max saw moderation to 28 days and 35 days respectively, down from 54 days and 61 days.
In China, the lead time for the low-end models remained unchanged at 21 days each. The lead time for the iPhone 15 Pro shifted from 36 days to 29 days, while the lead time for the Pro Max shifted from 50 days to 43 days.
The Europe tracker saw lead times decrease for all models in Germany, with the non-Pro down from 17 days to 15 days. The Pro is down from 37 days to 32 days, and the Pro Max is also down from 48 days to 42 days.
For the UK, the lead times for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus remained static at 15 days each. The Pro moved from 35 days to 28 days, and the Pro Max from 59 days to 44 days.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
