JPMorgan's tracker shows Apple basically crushed it with the iPhone 17 lineup during Black Friday week compared to how the iPhone 16 did around the same stretch last year. Wait times jumped to six days versus just four for the previous generation, and the base model keeps sitting in double-digit delivery windows because Apple can't manufacture units fast enough to match what people want.
The regular iPhone 17 drives most of the hype, while the Air and Pro models each added two extra days to their lead times. Counterpoint Research pointed out that iPhones grabbed a quarter of all smartphone sales in China and helped Apple potentially snag the global smartphone crown for the first time in over ten years by pushing their market share up to 19.4 percent.
