I had the 5s, 7+ and 11 pro max and I got them within the launch week without preorder or hassle but now its been over a month and theres still a 4-8 week delivery window (on the 15 pro max) through Rogers and apple themselves don't even have any until late November. Is this how the last few have been? This is insane

> 5s, 7+ and 11 pro max

These all came out long before supply chain woahs in the last 3 years, Apple has struggled to keep the most popular models stocked since then. Also every year the iPhone becomes more complex - bigger camera sensors, faster and brighter screens, industry first smaller processor nodes, denser batteries, etc. - so initial yields will be lower until they perfect the manufacturing processes for new technologies.
