Apple iPhone 18 Pro Delivery Times Extend in Second Week According to JPMorgan
Estimated delivery times for the Apple iPhone 18 Pro models have increased significantly during their second week of availability, according to a report from JPMorgan. The average wait time rose to 23 days for the standard Pro model and 30 days for the Pro Max in several key markets including the US, UK, and Germany—comparable with last year's iPhone 17 series launch period. In China, delivery times also increased but remained shorter than those seen during the previous product cycle. JPMorgan noted that despite initial lower demand expectations due to anticipation for Apple’s upcoming foldable Duo model in October, current demand appears stronger compared to the prior year. The bank emphasized third-week trends as a key indicator of consumer interest and highlighted supply chain updates expected in November as critical signals. The iPhone 18 Pro series was launched alongside the new foldable Duo with higher prices due to rising component costs.
