Orders for the iPhone 13 are pouring in. The new iPhones have been on sale since late September, and eager iOS users are flocking to Apple Stores and other retailers to get their hands on Apple's flagship model.

The latest iPhone takes full advantage of Apple's A15 Bionic chipset, has a larger battery for longer runtimes, and a better camera array with an attractive cinematic video mode. All of this has naturally led to great demand for this device, and there are plenty of iPhone 13 deals to be had.

The iPhone 13 went on sale on September 24, and since then the wait for Apple's newest device has varied widely, especially for the Pro model. Right now, for example, the iPhone 13 Pro is showing a delivery date that is dangerously close to the holiday season. If you want a new smartphone for a gift, you'll need to order now and opt for express delivery.

Bloomberg reports that Apple has been forced to cut iPhone 13 production by 11% due to a worldwide chip shortage. This means that Apple will have fewer devices on the market this holiday season than originally planned. Subsequent reports have claimed that demand for the iPhone 13 may also be weakening, but it is not clear how much stock to put in that idea.

In any case, information from the supply chain suggests that iPhone 13 supply is unlikely to meet demand until February 2022. This means that delivery dates are likely to be delayed. That is already the case with the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max models, which, as mentioned above, are facing severe shortages.

Therefore, if you want an iPhone 13 before 2022, we recommend ordering as soon as possible. Below are the current wait times for each iPhone 13 model.

Before jumping into the wait times for each model in the iPhone 13 lineup, it is important to emphasize that your mileage may vary. Wait times are determined by a variety of factors, including your location and chosen configuration, so we cannot guarantee that your wait time will not be longer than those listed below. (For example, we are unable to pick up the iPhone 13 Pro at a store near us in New York City, but our West Coast colleagues report immediate availability at an Apple Store in the San Francisco Bay Area.)

The standard iPhone 13 128GB is not currently facing significant shipping delays. In the New York area, it is currently available for pickup at brick-and-mortar Apple Stores. If you want your new smartphone even sooner, you can take advantage of express shipping for $9 and potentially receive your new phone the same day you place your order.

The iPhone 13 mini is also coming back into stock. At one point there were delivery delays of two weeks or more, but now they are available in a couple of days. This abundant availability has been confirmed in-store, and the iPhone 13 mini is now available for pickup at Apple's physical stores in the New York area.

Delivery delays are still being felt for the iPhone 13 Pro model. The standard iPhone 13 Pro 128GB will not be available for delivery until December 22 at the earliest, and could stretch to a very last-minute December 24 if needed for the holiday season. This situation is similar for the iPhone 13 Pro Max model, with delivery delays potentially extending beyond the festive season.

If you want to secure an iPhone 13 for yourself or as a holiday gift for someone else, you will need to place your order now before delivery dates start to slip beyond the festive season and past the New Year.
