Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max Release: Insider Reveals Surprising Detail

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max Release: Insider Reveals Surprising Details - Before the phone is officially released in stores on Friday, September 22, pre-orders for the iPhone 15 series are well under way. of ensure you don't miss anything, here is a complete countdown of everything that occurs between now and then. Reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has now offered his perspective on the current situation and its implications for iPhone users.

Although there was a cunning method to get to the front of the queue, pre-orders started last Friday and appear to be continuing well. In a recent Medium post, Ming-Chi Kuo of TFI Securities stated that there is a high demand for specific models. In particular, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is described as "robust, as previously expected, outpacing the iPhone 14 Pro Max from last year." For this reason, several versions' delivery deadlines have already slipped into November. Still, it appears that there's more at play. "Wait times are significantly longer for the iPhone 15 Pro Max than for other models, but this is more than just due to high demand," Kuo states. 

Due to a delayed mass production timeline and more significant production issues than prior models, the current iPhone 15 Pro Max is shipping at a lesser rate.

There are more specifics. Demand for the two regular iPhone 15 models is about the same as it was the previous year, according to Kuo.

The statement, "Demand for the iPhone 15 Pro is weaker than last year, with one possible reason being a shift of more premium users to the iPhone 15 Pro Max this year," caught me off guard. At least for me. Although Kuo's reasoning makes perfect sense, there is still some element of surprise. One of the most underreported details of the new iPhone is that the 15 Pro costs $1,237 (£999) in the UK, which is $123 (£100) cheaper than the price of the iPhone 14 Pro.

Kuo downplays the significance of the iPhone ban imposed by the Chinese government. Though such news might easily mislead readers, Kuo argues, "I wouldn't say the media reports about the Chinese government banning the iPhone are wrong." At the moment, the iPhone's main target market does not include members of the Chinese Communist Party, government personnel, or employees of state-owned businesses. Furthermore, the removal of iPhones from these reports has little effect on iPhone sales in China because it is a singular choice made by some government agencies or state-owned businesses.

Pre-orders for iPhones don't reflect the impact of Huawei's return to China, according to the report, because "those who pre-order iPhones are core users or Apple fans, not the target customers for the current Huawei phones."

In conclusion, Kuo maintains the accuracy of the earlier projection that “roughly 80 million units of the iPhone 15 will ship this year.”

If there's one thing to take away from all of this, it's probably that the demand for Pro Max will increase before it decreases. For this reason, it might be best to order sooner rather than relying on a carrier to have stock starting on Friday.
