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.
"As we have done throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, we are prioritizing the health and safety of the workers in our supply chain," Apple said. "We continue to see strong demand for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models.

"However, we now expect lower iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max shipments than we previously anticipated and customers will experience longer wait times to receive their new products. We are working closely with our supplier to return to normal production levels while ensuring the health and safety of every worker."
The news comes amid supply chain issues for the tech giant, which is responsible not only for iPhone models, but also iPads and Apple Watches, reports Birmingham Live. Apple items have become a key part of western Christmases in recent years, due to their dominant market share and surge in popularity.
