Apple ceased any further productions of iPhone 14 due to low demand.

Apple stock dips on report the company is bailing on plans to boost new iPhone production
Apple has told suppliers not to follow through on plans to increase iPhone 14 production, according to Bloomberg.
Yea, I made that mistake earlier. By the time I checked out it was always gone, people are too quick.
I don't know, I'm sure there's others like me refreshing the page nonstop, lol. But it's possible.
Yea so I work at AWS. Most sites have some sort of load balancer, bot protection, or both just to mention the basics. Although you may score low on a bot detection, you might score very high on load balancing when you constantly refresh the same page. In some occasions, the server may deem you to be a threat, DDoSing the server, when you are actually just trying to place an order. Not to mention depending on how the site is designed, unless you do a hard refresh, you're just served up with old data that's cached on your device.
My recommendation, avoid refreshing every second or things of that sort. Doesn't work. Now, sophisticated bots can refresh every 100ms, because they can change their fingerprinting instantly, so even the most advanced bot protection cannot solve bot issues 100%.
I mean I ordered 3 extremely rarely stocked phones in just a few hours, so it's obviously working for me. 🤷♂️
You ordered 3?Yea, but if I stay on the checkout page and keep refreshing it, it works.
been trying every day for a week. still havent seen a pro max 512mb in silver. gotta happen soon. 🤞
This is what I'm waiting for! I see the purple, but I want 512gb in silver.
My last day to return my current iPhone 14 Pro max is this Friday.
I always feel like 128GBs are the first to go haha
you work at AWS? Amazon does not have any checks for traffic like this. If you reload the page a thousand times, there is absolutely nothing at AWS that would notice, or say anything, let alone auto block any traffic whatsoever. The website itself may, or the owner of the site may route traffic through a third party, like Cloudflare or something but this would have nothing to do with AWS. The tools that AWS does offer that can assist with this are not on by default, and there is no indication or reason to believe any sites anyone here is using would have said protection checks in place.
I got it! Managed to get an iPhone 14 Pro Max 128 Gb Space Black for store pickup (its a bit of a drive though but that's okay). I preferred Gold but Space Black is really nice too; quite professional. For those looking for Pro Maxes in the New England area, the stock is updating now!
Congrats to all! Looks like a lot of us finally got our phones at least bought today. I’m finally typing this out on my new Pro Max. 😁
Good luck to those still searching. Your chances should only be higher now that you’re competing with less of us.

I saw a bunch of purples in SoCal this afternoon! Check again
. A good time to check is anywhere between 12 pm to like 8 pm.Mind if I ask what's the reason for picking up 3 more 14 Pro Maxes?Yea, but if I stay on the checkout page and keep refreshing it, it works.
Well a gold 14 pro Max 128 gb showed up in stock, so cancelled the space black. Either way, I'll have the new phone tomorrow .

Cloudflare goes through our AWS Cloudfront and S3. Anyways, read more about what AWS offers. Or educate yourself on DDoS and many other topics if you'd like. Your comment was... shocking. lol. MacRumor uses some Cloudflare and AWS Cloudfront. Google still relies on AWS even though they are beginning to build their own. AWS was the grandfather of all. As for AWS not on by default... well, I mean, depends on if the user implemented AWS correctly, if they don't turn it on, then it won't be on by default, same goes for Cloudflare or any other CDN or storage or PaaS offerings. Anyways, I'm not on this forums to educate folks on AWS. Just go read about it if you like. By default if a thousand reloads within matter of seconds from the same fingerprint, we have both front end notifications and behind the scenes settings to verify the user through a Turing test like Google's reCaptcha, except ours does not require user input at all. Typically an AWS customer is billed by machine hours, so while a single incident of a thousand reloads would amount to perhaps 10 cents in fees on our basic plans. Imagine a million visitors doing that at the same time. AWS and cloud computing is a very technical topic, and I didn't even talk about regression models. Anyways, I'm tired of explaining how AWS works, let's get back on topic, iPhone. One last point about AWS powering everything. Remember that internet outage a while back? Cloudflare went down, because they basically relied on us, and wordpress went down because they relied on cloudflare, shopify went down due to cloudflare. Parts of Google went down. Well, it turned out to be a network issue here at AWS. Also there's so many people work here at AWS, it's nothing special. We get paid for our problem solving skills and sometimes innovations.
