From CNET: Supply is starting to catch up with demand for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, but not as quickly as anticipated, according to analyst Gene Munster.
In an investor's report released on Monday, the analyst shared that Apple stores indicated 56 percent of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models were available as of December 12 -- a big jump from almost no supply in mid-November, but still not the 100 percent availability that was expected at this point.
It seems to play out like this every time a new iPhone is released. Supply is initially limited, so consumers have to wait weeks to get the new model. Around the holidays, this issue can become critical, as some consumers may choose to bypass putting the latest iPhone on their shopping lists if there's concern they won't get the phone in time for the holiday.
Last year, supply of the iPhone 5S matched the demand in early December, according to Munster. But this year, it's taking longer to catch up, according to Munster.
Said Munster: "We now expect it to be closer to 80 percent by the end of the quarter."
