Plenty of Airs in Chicago area but no stock for either Pro. Even the 2TB PM disappeared last week.
I heard there are plenty of airs at the Apple stores you should go get that again 😆😂🤣
I am also reading that those that were shipped recently are coming from the warehouse here in US. So maybe next week days apple store should be receiving some shipments and updating their inventory.
Thankfully i wont need to hunt because i was able to snag the iphone 17 pro max 512gb DB last week. I just happen to open the apple store app and there it was. It was the last one. Likely a cancelled order that went back on the shelf is my guess.

If you want true rarity, finding a Blue TechWoven case here in the UK is impossible. Black is quite easy to find, and other colours come up occasionally with some retailers, but blue for some reason is non-existent.
Here in Norway it looks like stock of the pro max is also slim to none. Plenty of stock of the Air and som for the base but not for the pro max
You add it to your bag and then proceed to check out where delivery options show up. If it’s not available for pickup, you just don’t complete the checkout. It stays in your bag so you can repeat the process until one becomes available for pickup.
I just checked availability in Cardiff and there is 'one' blue Pro Max available but to get any delivered it is 3-4 weeks. They seem to have sold well.
All Air models are fully available for delivery next day and for in-store pickup. The Pro Max seems to be by far the most in demand.

I’m hoping this is a safe space since this is on the topic of the Pro phones. 
Don’t want to make anyone butthurt. But I think Apple misjudged the popularity of models this year. I think they thought the Air would be the phones everyone was buying this year and produced accordingly. And Surprise to even most of us people prefer the “Brick” 
over the “tile”.

Honestly, I don't know Apple would think that the pro max wouldn't be their most popular model. The 3 apple stores in Singapore got new stock on Saturday and the orange colour was the first to go in an hour. By Monday, everything was sold out. 😝I’m hoping this is a safe space since this is on the topic of the Pro phones.
That was my opinion launch day. You are spot on.I’m hoping this is a safe space since this is on the topic of the Pro phones.
They did Misjudge. People have been returning the Air mainly because of the battery 🪫 depleting real fast. It has a small 3,149 mAh battery 🪫 compared to even the 16e which has a very good 3,961 mAh battery 🔋I’m hoping this is a safe space since this is on the topic of the Pro phones.
Apple was planning on using silicon carbon batteries 🔋 in the Air which has a much higher capacity in a small package but they decided to stay with the trusted lithium ion battery 🔋
I’m guessing the Air 2 will address the battery issues.
Nobody has any idea how many of each model Apple made nor shipped nor to what locations.
There is nothing to be gleaned about popularity of models here.

Looks like one of the Apple Store in Chicago has just restocked some few pro max's.
True.
Though the pro max has been the most popular model for the past several years and there is no reason to think that would’ve changed. But without knowing production numbers (or how much the delayed Air release in China affects stock levels for the rest of us), there’s no way to reliably reason about how well any model is selling from a unit count perspective.
One could argue that you can reason about how each model is selling relative to Apple’s expectation, based on how much they apparently either over- or under- produced, as reflected by stock levels. But there are still some unknown variables there.
This part I agree with, for sure.
Between the Air stock being "healthy" and the very mixed reaction to Liquid Glass, I'm a little concerned about Apple's ability to read the room anymore.
Well trusted outlets as Forbes and others have put out articles stating as such but I chose not to post them here because people seem to hate any negative Air post.
Don't let that deter you!
I think many of us would enjoy such data to discuss!

Believe me I had the last IPad Mini that had the slanted scrolling.
I rode that train until I took the detour.
