Want to buy the iPhone 14? You might have to wait a while due to Apple facing production shortages. (Apple)

The world is still recovering from the semiconductor shortages which occurred due to the halting of production globally during the pandemic. As a result, chips have either seen their prices skyrocket or have a long waiting list. It seems even tech-giants like Apple have suffered due to production shortages. Not just due to chips, the production of iPhone 14 is taking a hit due to shortage of display panels, with Apple's suppliers struggling to meet the demand, according to 9to5Mac.

Apple announced its latest flagship, the iPhone 14 series at its “Far out” event on September 7. Apple announced that the pre-orders of the iPhone would start on September 9 with store availability starting September 16. However, it seems like Apple has hit a stumbling block as pre-order dates slipped from September to late October for many buyers.
