Last year, iPhone 14 pre-orders began in September but sales officially started in October due to supply issues. Apple faced a similar problem with the iPhone 12 in 2020.

According to The Information, Apple will struggle with supplies for the iPhone 15 due to issues with manufacturing process. The iPhone 15 Pro, in particular, will face a significant shortage on launch.

To combat this, Apple will reportedly sell the phones in limited quantities at first, till the supply chain catches up.
