Apple has sent out a warning to anyone wishing to buy a new iPhone model or device ahead of Christmas.

Supply issues for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models have hit the tech giant, meaning customers may struggle to get their hands on one. The Apple website gives a UK estimated delivery time of between December 7 and 14 - and this could change.
