Apple says it's too late to get iPhone 14 Pro online before Christmas

 

Apple has shared "Order By" dates for online purchases to ensure arrival before 
Christmas for many of its products — and some key deadlines have already passed.

These are the latest dates to order holiday gifts with free shipping. In most cities, shoppers 
can get in-stock items from their local Apple Store as late as December 24 when choosing
 Apple Pickup or two-hour delivery.

Order By Date

If the "Order By" date has passed, shop online for in-stock items with Apple Pickup 
or two-hour delivery from a local Apple Store.

The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are in high demand, and the ideal order
 date for these models was on November 15. Dates for iPhone 14, iPhone 13, 
iPhone SE, and iPhone 12 are all December 21.

All new models of the Apple Watch, including the Apple Watch Ultra, Apple Watch SE, 
and Apple Watch Series 8, list December 21 for the order by date.

Customers who want their iPads engraved should order them by December 19, 
otherwise the ideal order date is December 21. December 21 is also the Order By date
 for MacBook Pros, MacBook Air M1 and M2, iMac 24-inch, Mac Studio, and Mac mini.

Shoppers who want an engraved set of AirPods Max should order by December 13, 
or December 21 for no engraving. For AirPods Pro 2, AirPods 2, and AirPods 3,
 the order date for engraving is December 19, or December 21 with no engraving.

Shoppers should order a set of AirPods 3 with a MagSafe charging case by November 30 
for engraved and non-engraved models. The new Apple TV 4Kand HomePod mini should be 
ordered by December 21.

Customers should order a single or a four-pack of engraved AirTags by December 9, 
or December 14 if they don't want an engraving.

Finally, customers should order Apple gift cards sent through the mail by December 9.
For orders received during the holidays, users must start a return by January 8, 2023. 
Items purchased by consumer financing are not eligible for extended returns and 
are subject to the Standard Return Policy.
