High demand for Apple's latest iPhone Pro models has extended delivery times. Those just ordering an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max can expect to wait up to six weeks depending on color and storage tier. Wait times may increase as the holiday season approaches, especially if Apple experiences supply issues.

The company has already asked supplier Han Hai to switch over iPhone 14 production lines to make more iPhone 14 Pro models instead. This will help by increasing fourth quarter iPhone Pro shipments by ten percent, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

Most of the focus lately has been on iOS 16, Apple's latest iPhone operating system. Apple has also provided an important security update to iOS 15. This means that Apple has released two updates side-by-side, iOS 15.7 and iOS 16. iPhone owners can elect to install the iOS 15.7 patch or do a full upgrade to iOS 16.

The Apple Watch may have stolen the show at Apple's keynote event in 2022. In addition to the Apple Watch Series 8, Apple launched an extreme sports version of its wearable called the Apple Watch Ultra. This watch has been engineered and certified to operate in some of the most extreme environments on the planet, while providing the wearer with essential information and connectivity.

Apple revealed the iPhone 14 series with four different models in two screen sizes. The iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max join the iPhone family later this month. The keynote presentation on September 7, 2022 showed off the latest devices, their features, and pricing for different storage tiers.

Apple has extended its ongoing iPhone 12 service program to address no sound issues. A small percentage of iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro models may experience a receiver module failure, leading to sound not working during phone calls. These "no sound" issues have been covered under a special Apple service program since it first launched in summer 2021.
