Available Supply of iPhone 11 Pro Models Begins Waning

To address two of your points:
- Market share: Apple doesn't operate on market share as they have other services and products an Apple customer would be interested in. This is borne out in the financials that show the services revenues on an upswing.
- Anecdotal experience with intel radios: My anecdotal experience is I don't have issues, dropped calls, internet connection, except where there is literally no signal. I have a max, spouse has the XR neither have issues. No doubt Qualcomm modems are better, but that doesn't mean these are sub-par.

Not at all. We are all entitled to air our views.
For the 6S and 8, I ordered on launch day (Friday evening) and picked it up the next day (Saturday) at the Apple Store.
And both had sold out on preorders by the time I woke up on preorder day.
No, but it doesn't exempt your criticism from being criticised either, which is what is happening here. You say something, people evaluate whether they agree with it or not, and respond. That's really the whole point of this forums.
I have been reading this article and it offers some food for thought.

The apple car comes to mind. It seems like Apple is learning from other industries and making sure that any Apple Car will be better locked down and less vulnerable to the hacks that the rest of the auto industry has had to contend with.
One of the biggest criticism is that the iphone 11 doesn’t sport 5g, but no one seems to be interested in discussing the merits of the U1 chip and the implications it has.
I understand that this may not come into fruition for another couple of years, but I think it’s worth bearing in mind how at Apple product events, the takeaways often end up being related more to how Apple is setting the stage for the future. Certain announcements and features make much more sense when you have spent a little more time thinking about what Apple will likely unveil in the following years.

The reason why no one talks about UWB yet is because no one understands it properly. For what it’s worth, I think AR glasses will rely on UWBI have been reading this article and it offers some food for thought.

go back and re-read i have no problem facing criticism, criticise away! i don't mind the back and forth critice, in fact i relish in responding to the discussion, but being labeled a whiner, and among other personal attacks in the last 2 day from apple fanboys is neither here nor there.

How did you do that?!? I ordered the same model on the app at 7:13 CST and got an Oct. 4-11 delivery - no pick up option available. I’ve always picked up in store on release day - it kills me that I have to wait.
thought it’s time for a change. I started with a white 4s, then a silver 5s, then space grey 6S+, followed by rose gold 8+. So why not a green 11 pro max? I don’t use cases with my phones anyways.
Ditto. I don’t use cases. I’ve bought a new iphone every year since the original. Black, white, gold, etc. When something new comes out that is not hideous (rose gold, looking at you) I buy that new color, at least for one generation, just to change things up. So this year it’s midnight green.
I think a lot of this depends on the store but after talking to Apple staff yesterday they said there will be a load of walk in stock as well from launch day onwards. I’m going in at first opening time on Friday and will likely buy one there and then.
personally, I busy really like the Midnight Green and therefore, ordered it. As you the gold, for me it was the change in material for the back glass panel. When it was polished, the gold was gorgeous and had a pearlescent that the other colors didn’t have. Now that the back glass is matte, it just looks beige to me.

**had to correct a typo.
What does being a combat veteran or a family man have anything to do with your prior comments. Do you feel you deserve acknowledgement for serving your country or being a supportive parent. Guess what others have similar “achievements” and also love their work, yet don’t post on a forum as you brag and informing others to make better financial choices.
Getting something free is not bragging, it is seeking opportunity where one exists. Informing others to make financial choices because they cannot afford some new tech according to your perception is your poor acknowledgement that others are just waiting on Apple to release new hardware to substantiate their life.
Apple’s “auto-correction”, classy similar to Siri, still cannot get it quite right.

My TPU clear or translucent cases have never experienced these issues for years, plus I get them for $10 or under.
Some “By Innovation Only” pricing for sure even after the case is using less material.

Never understood this, either the parcel arrives a day earlier on the day it is supposed to be delivered. Like a child who cannot wait till Christmas Day.

The over hyped and exaggerated price have something to do with it. If sales are lack lustre, hopefully Tim and Co. lower prices across the entire line next year as people are smartening up to they hustle.
If Apple produced the same number of phones in each colour, then the speed in which they sell out would tell us something about relative popularity. If Apple produced the same number of phones per colour as they sold last year of that colour, it would tell us how demand for different colours changes from year to to year.
But since we have no idea whether any of the above is true (I would say it is basically certain the first assumption is not true), the sell-out dates only tell us whether a certain colour is more popular than Apple predicted.
Not too surprised about this news. The iPhone 11 pro likely appeals to diehard Apple fans who want the latest and greatest, want it on day one, and are willing to pay for it.
The iPhone 11 adoption rate will likely be similar to the Xr. Slower and more gradual over the course of the year, but it will still probably end up being the most popular model.

Not sure what you mean by "maybe". As of now, if you preorder online, you can pickup in store on 9/20 for most models. If you preorder and pay, they hold the stock for you to come get.

I plan on getting the 11, just not next week. Giving my son my Xr, and trading in his 6s for the 11 for me.
Not in my area. Currently, almost none of the iPhone Pro/Max configurations are available at the 6 stores near me.
