Availability Of iPhone 6 And iPhone 6 Plus Improves
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are now available through the online store of Apple, and customers can look forward to have their new purchase shipped out immediately upon ordering. The SIM-free model of the latest smartphone offering of Apple will have a slight delay of one business day.
In the past, the release of the iPhone has been associated with supply issues as manufacturers work on meeting the demand for the device. However, the company was unable to anticipate the demand for the latest demand where only 56 percent of the models were available by the middle of December.
However, the latest iPhone offering of Apple offers a number of upgrades compared to its predecessors. The most notable feature is the bigger screen, which is among the features of the Galaxy S series of Samsung. Sales of the devices reached 10 million units during the first weekend the devices entered the market. Sales continued to rise until the end of the year.
Apple worked on increasing the inventory of the new devices as waiting time for the delivery of the devices gradually went down. At the start of December, the 16GB and 64GB variants of the two iPhone models had a wait time of three to five business days while the 128GB variant had a wait time of seven to ten business days.
Currently, the supply for the two iPhone models have equaled the demand in a number of countries, including Italy, France, Spain, Germany and the UK. However, waiting time for Australian and Canadian clients is set at one business day. The wait time for Chinese customers is between three to five business days.
US customers can check on the availability of the two iPhone models through the online product page of Apple. They can clink on the check availability link before putting in the zip code and clicking on the Search button. The website will show a list of the stores where the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus is available.
