How to Find the iPhone 13 in Stock

How to Find the iPhone 13 in Stock is a post by Adam Mills from Gotta Be Mobile.

Many of Apple’s iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro models are still sold out. If you’ve had trouble securing the model you want, you’ll want to keep an eye out for new stock, check out alternative places to order, and look for stock in stores as we push away from the iPhone 13 release date.

Shipping dates have slipped for many iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro models. Shipping times for select storage sizes, colors, and carriers have been pushed into late November and they could get worse as time goes on.

Apple’s encouraging shoppers to buy devices like the iPhone 13 early because supply constraints will almost certainly impact holiday shopping this year.

Nikkei Asia says Apple is currently using iPad components to help offset iPhone shortages. The publication also claims “parts intended for older iPhones” are also being used in iPhone 13 production.

Another report, from Digitimes, states that iPhone 13 supply won’t catchup with demand until February of next year. That said, the publication does say the shortage is “gradually easing”.

If you’re able to find the model you want, and you want your new phone ASAP, it’s a good idea to place an order right now, if you can.

While some iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro models might not ship until late November, you might be able to find them for in-store pickup at Apple or another retailer.

Some retailers might have iPhone 13 stock on hand, but there’s no telling how much inventory each store will have. It’s definitely a gamble.

If you’re having trouble finding your top choice in stock, you’ll want to track iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro stock at Apple, carriers, and retailers to see if you can find one for pickup. If you’re persistent, there’s a good chance you’ll get what you want.

In this guide, we will help you find an iPhone 13 in stock at Apple, your carrier, or your favorite retailer. You can try calling a store to inquire about the inventory on-hand, but you may just want to order online where you can see the device’s estimated delivery date.

How to Find the iPhone 13 in Stock

There are a few ways to quickly check for iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Pro stock from your computer or your phone.

Perhaps the easiest way is to check via Apple’s website or via the company’s Apple Store application. Both the website and the app allow you to check on stock at individual Apple Stores.

Choose the iPhone 13 model you want and enter your local zip code. The site or app will show you what’s available for in-store pickup.

Some models are currently unavailable for in-store pickup. That said, we expect to see new stock emerge in the near future so keep your eyes peeled.

If you are unable to secure the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, or iPhone 13 Pro Max you want at Apple, and you don’t want to wait weeks for delivery, you can check your carrier.

Open up your carrier’s app or click on the links below to get to the new iPhone pages and then you can pick your model, color, and storage to see if you can get a quick delivery.

You should be able to see the iPhone 13 delivery date estimates before you check out. If the estimated ship date is too far out, you can try buying your phone from a retailer.

Retailers like Best Buy and Walmart might show you a much faster delivery date even though Apple’s delivery estimates are far out.

We’ll continue to update this as iPhone 13 stock fluctuates throughout the year.

4 Reasons Not to Install iOS 15.1 & 11 Reasons You Should

Install iOS 15.1 for Better Security

1 / 15

If security is important to you, think about installing Apple's iOS 15.1 update right away.

iOS 15.1 has important security patches on board and they'll help protect your phone. You can read more about them on Apple's website.

If you missed iOS 15.0.2 you'll also get its security patch with your upgrade. You can learn more about it right here.

iOS 15.0 also brought numerous security patches to your iPhone. If you'll be moving up from iOS 14 and you're interested in the exact nature of these improvements, you can read about them over on Apple's security website.

If you skipped iOS 14.8 or any older versions of iOS, you'll get the security patches from those updates with your iOS 15.1 update as well.

In addition to those patches, iOS 15 comes with some security and privacy upgrades including improvements to Siri. Requests made to Siri are now processed on the device itself using Neural Engine. This makes it more secure.

If you're an Apple Card user, you'll now get a security code that changes regularly to use when you make online transactions.

Apple's also included a built-in authenticator that's similar to Google Authenticator. This will let you generate verification codes for enhanced sign-in security under your Passwords.

There's also a Mail feature that hides your IP address. The company will add a new App Privacy report feature in the next version of iOS 15 that will tell you when an app has accessed sensitive information.
