The increased lead time is also an indicator of robust demand for upgrades, says analyst

The delivery time for Apple’s iPhones after a new launch is watched by analysts as one of the measures to gauge demand for the flagship phone’s newest model. But this year it is also shining a light on supply chain issues plaguing technology companies ahead of the holiday shopping season. In the US, which accounts for over a third of iPhone shipments, the delivery time for the iPhone 13 series was 19-34 days in the second week, compared with between seven and 20 days in the first week, both greater than the lead times for the iPhone 12 Series.
Many users on social media also flagged the delays. “With a delay on the delivery for iPhone 13 pro max I might as well cancel! They talking [about until] October 30th,” one user said on Twitter.
