The demand for iPhones has increased over iPad in many regions since the COVD-19 pandemic started. Apple feels that the demand for iPhone 13 phones may increase in the coming months, following the holiday season. However, that doesn’t mean iPads are not selling. Demand for the iPad has increased due to the rise of remote work and online classes during the pandemic.

This is not the first time Apple has prioritized iPhones over iPads. Last year, the company also reallocated some iPad parts to the production of the iPhone 12 lineup. However, this time, iPad buyers also have to wait for a long time to get their hands on the device. As per the latest report, American or European consumers who ordered an iPad with 256 GB storage at the end of October will have to wait until Dec 15 to get the iPad delivered. This is not an estimate, but Apple’s website indicates that. In China, consumers have to wait for six weeks to get the new iPad delivered to them.
