Have anyone be able to get hold of the iphone 14 pro models.

I guess apple started having a little bit of inventory at the local store. I live at michigan and i could see some available under my neighborhood, can we expect more iphone in stock during the christmas ?

Thanks
 
I ordered one weeks ago that is supposed to deliver on 12/27. I've been stalking the Apple Store app and was able to snag one at my local store. They pop up occasionally at completely random times throughout the day. It's not the color I wanted (black vs. purple), but it'll go in a case anyway, and now I'll have it in time for Christmas for my wife. I'll just cancel my current order, and keep an eye on the app to see if I can exchange it for the purple color. I'lm just glad I was able to snag one in my preferred configuration.
 
I thought it will be hard to get any 14 pro until the end of christmas due to chip shortage.

Likely due to lockdown in China and also the protest but i believe there is more than just one location that makes the iphone. Apple stores in Chicagoland for last few days has showed in stock for pick ups
 
Just checked indeed in Germany some are available too.

You can order online and get it by the end of the month.

Otherwise, you have to stalk the website and see what pops up. It’s a matter of being fast to purchase and being happy with whatever is available. Stock only lasts a few minutes at most, it seems.

I picked up another 1TB 14PM yesterday (in my preferred color) after spending more than two weeks on the hunt. Damn near might as well have ordered one.

Store employee said they are getting very few in stock and that I was lucky. My experience confirmed what he said to be true.
 
This shortage has prevented me from making an impulse purchase. 😂

If I really still want one by January, I may get a purple, or wait until March for a new mid-life colour!!!
It saved me money. I eventually traded in for my Z Flip 4, and it was an even swap for the 13PM, so my installments are fully credited now.
 
3 local Apple stores in the Minneapolis area had them available today for pickup.

Nevermind. I just bought one. 😅

Took me 3 visits to Apple.com in a single day to find a store nearby with stock. The stock situation changes multiple times a day. I lucked out.

Bought a purple 14 PM with 256GB of storage! It’s exactly what I wanted.
