UBS noted that the situation has not improved, particularly for high-end models, and iPhone 16 wait times are shorter than last year but the gap at the high-end continues to grow. Morgan Stanley, which has an overweight rating and a price target of $273 on Apple, highlighted that iPhone 16 lead times are tracking lower than the past three iPhone cycles, despite improved supply.
