Interestingly, the iPhone 12 series pre-sale in China is massive. Yesterday evening, Apple iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro began pre-orders. These two models will be officially launched on October 23. However, the pre-orders of the two models are very hot. Also, the delivery time of some models has been postponed to November.
Taking the silver/128GB version of the iPhone 12 Pro as an example, Apple’s official website says it will ship within 3-4 weeks. Furthermore, Jingdong’s iPhone 12 Pro is out of stock. In addition, taking the iPhone 12 white/64GB version as an example, Apple’s official website estimates that the estimated delivery date is 5-7 working days. In addition, very few iPhone 12 models on JD.com are still available for pre-order.
