BillionToOne wins bullish backing, but Jefferies and Wells Fargo urge caution
Investing.com - Apple iPhone 17 series lead times increased by one day in Week 12 of JPMorgan’s Product Availability Tracker, aligning with seasonal patterns typically seen during Black Friday shopping periods.
The average lead time across the iPhone 17 lineup now stands at approximately six days, outpacing the four-day average recorded during the same week last year, suggesting stronger year-over-year demand trends for Apple’s latest smartphone series.
The base iPhone 17 model continues to show double-digit lead times, indicating that production capacity has not yet caught up with consumer demand, making it the primary driver of higher demand for the iPhone 17 series compared to its iPhone 16 predecessor.
In the weekly comparison, lead times remained stable for the base iPhone 17 model, while increasing by two days for both the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro models, and by one day for the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Last year during the same period, Apple saw a uniform increase of two days across all iPhone models, highlighting a slightly different demand distribution pattern in the current product cycle.
