iPhone 13: the first deliveries are delayed

The iPhone 13 are behind schedule! According to testimonies from many buyers, some of the first shipments of Apple’s smartphones have been postponed for several days. Obviously, carriers like DHL and UPS have accumulated last minute delays …

After a week of pre-ordering, the iPhone 13s are arriving in stores this Friday, September 24, 2021. At the same time, Apple is shipping smartphones to people who pre-ordered first. If you’ve pre-ordered your precious within minutes of opening pre-orders at the Apple Store, you should receive your new iPhone this Friday.

At least in theory. This year, Apple visibly meets last minute delivery difficulties. Some carriers, such as UPS or DHL, announce a delivery postponed to Monday, September 27, 2021. Until now, the carrier yet planned to deliver the pre-ordered iPhone 13 during the day of this Friday during office hours.

iPhone 13 vs iPhone 13 Pro – performance, price, photo, which one to choose?

IPhone 13s are a few days late

As several testimonies report, Apple sometimes continues topost a delivery for Friday 24 while the carrier posted a delivery for Monday 27th. We imagine that these delays are entirely due to the organization of firms such as DHL or UPS.

Indeed, it is rather rare that Apple encounters similar difficulties. Note also that pre-ordered iPhones that are late have been shipped on time by the brand. It is therefore probablya difficulty related to the delivery service. For our part, the iPhone pre-ordered last Friday arrived safely in the course of the morning with DHL.

These last minute delivery delays add to the issues that crippled pre-orders. When it opened, Apple’s website crashed among many Internet users. In addition, many models, including the iPhone 13 Pro Max 1TB, quickly ran out of stock.

As a reminder, some of the people who have delayed pre-ordering their new iPhone will not receive it until October. Under these conditions, the launch of the new iPhones seems a bit chaotic. Apple nevertheless makes up for it with a solid starting stock in Apple Stores. Since this morning, many buyers have managed to get their hands on an iPhone 13 by going to the store.
