First Apple iPhone 14 and / Pro now in the hands of customers in Australia and New Zealand

Due to time zone differences, pre-orderers in Australia and New Zealand have now gotten their hands on the new Apple iPhone 14 series they want (the iPhone 14 Plus will be available on October 7).

Of course, the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE are also available starting today, but those watches will undoubtedly be overshadowed by the new iPhones.

By now, customers who have received the new phones are already sharing their joy and first impressions of getting them on major forums and social media platforms.

Apple doesn't have a store in New Zealand, so Australian customers are the only ones who will be the first to buy the new devices in Apple stores, so the amount of inventory in Australian offline stores will provide some insight into the popularity of the new machines every now and then.

Even if you didn't pre-order, you can still buy it at Apple Stores or other stores on the first day of the sale, which is the only way you'll get the new iPhone on launch day. Apple Stores are expected to have a decent amount of inventory, but the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max in popular colors may be less available.

After New Zealand and Australia, deliveries of the new iPhone 14 series and the new Apple Watch will then begin in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and, finally, the Americas. Apple Stores in most regions will open early around 8:00 a.m. local time to allow customers to pick up previously pre-ordered devices as soon as possible, or to purchase them at home.
