There might be a good amount of people who are taking a wait and see approach since it's essentially a first gen product. People want to see it and feel it for themselves in stores, wait for word of mouth from more tech-savvy friends and family, etc.
This. I will be picking up my 17 Pro in store but waiting to check out the Air in store.
That may be part of it. So many people prefer to be led about the nose by YouTube.
I think a lot of people saw the orange phone and make the buy
Or they actually had sufficient supply?
Pfft, take your optimism elsewhere, this is the MacRumors Forums
All models mostly still available to be delivered on the 19 besides certain colors and all of the Pro Max.
People want the 5000mah battery and new colors!

I'm glad I'm getting mine on the 19th. Don't care about much else surrounding it. Hope everyone else enjoys theirs and isn't let down. That's about it.
I think a lot of people are wait to see it in person myself included before buying
You're right. Everything is available accept the PM. This has never happened before.
I wasn't planning on getting a new phone this cycle. The Air has me intrigued. I still want to hold it and play with it first before I trade in my 15 Pro. Whether I get it first day, weekend, or month matters little.
Strange how the iPhone X, which also sold for $999, didn't need much word of mouth or consumer hands on time to sell out. If you recall, some had serious doubts about Face ID and were shocked it didn't have Touch ID as backup.
I'm in the same boat. I wasn't planning to get a new phone either, since my 15PM is still running fine (82% battery health, though it doesn't quite last the whole day as I'd like). I ordered the Air for in-store pickup on release day.
I'll probably try out the phone in the store before opening the box, and decide then whether I want to keep it or return it.
Agreed. I believe the Air will have people at hello in hand. Can’t wait to try it.
They have much more supply and have more deals with carriers worldwide. Basically the majority of people will get their phones from Verizon , ATT etc instead of buying directly from Apple.
And most people and businesses do not buy directly from Apple. They get a new iphone from Verizon /ATT/T-Mobile etc. .
