I'm just waiting for my November delivery. I made a mistake in my ordering and didn't go on the IUP so had to return the phones and reorder. You would think since a manager told me that happens a lot they would have a system to just return and replace the same phones, but no. So we have to wait. Not a huge deal, but annoying.
 
LOL I already have it ready for pick up so I'll be picking up my 1TB PM Sierra Blue shortly haha
What surprises me is how FAST these phones are going. They're often only available for 30 seconds or less. Makes me wonder what is REALLY going on. I can't fathom a human finding stock and getting through check out that quickly.

Yea it's pretty surprising. Yesterday I happen to check the apple store app on my phone around early afternoon. Apple Store near me had the Graphite PM 512 GB model in-stock, 1 minute later, it's gone out of the shelf. I didn't care because I was going for the 1TB Sierra Blue PM.

I am so mad that I missed the one this morning. Had I been a little faster, it would be in my hand right now. Oh well--back to the search.

Edit: Holy crap. I just snagged one! I'll be picking it up in-store Friday evening. 13 PM 1TB in Graphite. Not my favorite color choice, but it's a damn good one. Now I'm just anxiously awaiting to get the "ready for pickup" email.

Well, I’m not sure where you live but Apple Michigan Avenue, in Chicago, IL does have the Sierra Blue 1 TB Pro max and the Graphite model as well available. It’s still is available for pick up as I type this and has been since this morning.

Not to mention, it is a busy store in Chicago. Still surprised it’s still in stock.

Wow—that’s amazing—they must have gotten a large shipment. I am in Texas. I have yet to see a phone last more than a minute or two here. There was one 13 PM 1TB SB that was available for a few minutes earlier, but it would have made for a seven hour drive (which I have little interest in doing just for a phone).

I am actually surprised mine went through, after my experience this morning. I got the “order processing” email with correct pickup details, so I am crossing my fingers and hoping this isn’t some cruel joke the universe is playing on me.
 
It seems like Apple is focusing more on Sierra Blue first, most places I see that comes available for Sierra blue, some graphites and gold, haven't seen silver in my area.

So were you able to actually place an order for the 13 PM 1TB SB?
 
There's 1TB Pro and Pro Max available in Graphite and Sierra Blue still in the Chicago area.

No smaller sizes.

I let that one go--way too long of a drive--not that I would have gotten it anyway.

I just got the "Ready for Pickup" email, so it looks like I am good. I'll be picking it up Friday afternoon. My order is a 13 PM 1TB in Graphite (Black).

Oh you went with the Graphite. Still good. Nice you were able to secure one.

Tons of phones available to day in southern CA - all over. Looks like they got a pretty good shipment.

I am pretty happy with the color choice (and that I was able to snag one). It's a classic color and goes well with everything--just not the most exciting color out there.

For those looking--keep up the good fight and may luck forever be on your side.
 
That's what I saw and earlier Apple Michigan Avenue did have most storage size in stock for a bit.

Aaaah, I missed that you are in the Chicago area as well? For some reason, I thought you were over East.

I didn't get to look earlier - full morning for me. Took a break looking for MBP news.

None of the 20+ stores I’m checking within 3 hours of me are getting ANY silver PM’s. I want a 1TB one and if I wanted SB, graphite or gold in 1TB I would’ve had multiple chances at this point. Jeez.

In the past few days I have looked, I have yet to see a single silver in any combination show up. Not sure why, because every other color has had availability (albeit short and limited) at one point or another.

Same here… I am also waiting for a 13PM 1TB Silver but nothing shows up…
The one that I preordered was scratched on the glass back and I returned it immediately.

Sierra Blue, Gold, Graphite 13PM 1TB were all available multiple times this week.

One store had the Silver 13PM in 512GB yesterday so I hope the 1TB will follow soon.
 
I have seen random Pro Max supply pop up through the last couple of days here in NYC although no Pros. It doesn’t look like large shipments are coming in, just individual units which tend to go quickly (except 1TB units which last an hour or so).

I was lucky to upgrade from a 12 Pro to 13 Pro with a launch day delivery, but have been thinking about going for the Max this time around (very hard decision when the store went live…I pretty much go back and forth each year).

I stopped by the Upper West Side store today to check them out, see if they had walk in stock not on the online store, and to see if a Pro Max was right for me (I loved it). Now I really want it, but of course they said any stock goes immediately on the website. Have until Friday to return my Pro so running out of time. I could start a mail-in return which gives me another 14 days, but the employee told me they would allow a return beyond 14 days in-store since supplies are so limited. Anyone ever get that sort of leniency at a store before? Not exactly sure I should count on it 100%. I even mentioned I could start a return for more time and he said not to worry about it…
