Global iPhone 6 delivery time list: China's version is fastest

According to foreign media reports, Chuck Jones, a contributor to Forbes, has been paying close attention to the global delivery deadlines of Apple's iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, mainly focusing on Apple's websites in various countries and regions around the world, as well as carrier websites such as Verizon, AT&T and Sprint, and Vodafone's websites in some countries and regions. These websites will publish the delivery time of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus since Apple and its partners began accepting pre-orders on September 12.

Jones believes that by observing the length and changes of the delivery deadline, we can see how Apple and its partners meet market demand. At the same time, the different delivery deadlines of mobile phones of different sizes and storage volumes can also reflect which mobile phone has greater market demand and the average selling price of this iPhone.
