It’s not easy to get your hands on a brand-new\u00a0iPhone 14 Pro<\/span> model right now.<\/p>\n

The reason? A combination of strict COVID-19 restrictions and subsequent protests in China has affected the Zhengzhou assembly factory for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. According to Apple<\/a>, that facility “is currently operating at a significantly reduced capacity,” and as a result, many reports suggest that the production shortage could hit 6 million units.<\/p>\n

That’s an incredibly significant number, and we’ve already begun to see its impact. If you go to the Apple website right now and want to purchase an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max, the fastest expected delivery date isn’t until after Christmas, and if you want to pick it up in-store, well, that’s pretty much impossible.<\/p>\n

If you’re thinking about buying an iPhone 14 Pro as a gift for a loved one, you’ll have to wait a while — maybe even until next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are several options you have to get it sooner (i.e., before the holidays). Here’s what you need to do.<\/p>\n

1. Check your local Apple store<\/h2>\n

You have a great chance at securing an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max before the holidays by constantly checking inventory online at your local Apple store.<\/p>\n

On the Apple website, go to the Buy iPhone 14 Pro page<\/a><\/span> and choose your model, color, storage, payment option and carrier. Once you’ve selected all these options, you should see the final price of your phone at the bottom of the page, as well as the estimated date of delivery and the option to pick up in person at your nearest Apple store (if available).<\/p>\n

You can get the iPhone 14 Pro for as low as $999 and the iPhone 14 Pro Max for $1,099 from Apple, but you’ll need to play around with the various colors and storage options to find availability before the holidays.<\/p>\n

If the delivery date shows as after Christmas and there’s no availability to pick up in person, try these two things:<\/p>\n
