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

Upgrade cycles and the addition of USB-C are big contributors. Also didn’t help apple had minor production issues with the displays and especially the 5x camera on the Max facing delays etc. I recall hearing carriers state they haven’t seen demand this high in a while across the board.
