I'm surprised the iPhone 13 pro Max and pro can't really buy them anywhere .................
 
Popular device + covid related chip/component shortages coming together I guess…

I guess depends on location? Because Apple Store near me has been receiving shipments and updating their inventories on a daily basis and I notice it's like every other day that they update for the pro max's stock availability. Like yesterday they received 1 TB of every color for the pro maxes (usually 1 or 2 units for the 1 TB I noticed). But I have not see any Pro's in stock, they must be only receiving pro max's. Once in a while I do see them having Pro's tho.

If you are still looking for one, I recommend using this:

 
Five week wait where I am (LI, NY) for the 13PM config I would want. That, plus what I keep reading about the camera issues for exactly the types of images I take has me choosing to wait for the 14, although I am briefly considering a regular old 13.

What camera issues?!
 
Keep checking the Apple stores inventory on daily basis. I got my pro max when I checked in the afternoon.

A pro max sierra blue 512 gb did show up in stock this morning for pick up. So try your luck. Its possible that they received stock yesterday and some appears to be cancelling orders due to some issues
 
I've been watching S. FL for the last 2 weeks when I decided to swap from Android to IOS. I placed an order on the apple website and it is scheduled to come in Nov 14 to the 20. My wife's 13 mini will be here tomorrow. I haven't seen any 13 Pro Max available at all. I have seen a couple of pro's though. Right now Naples has 2 last I checked but I'm not really interested in the Pro and want the max.
 
Miami area Apple stores hard to snatch a new iPhone right now. All 5 area stores full of international tourist snatching them up. Went to dadeland mall yesterday morning at opening. Passed by new location Apple store and I saw 10 people in line already. I can tell the international tourist from the regulars. Been happening for years here but with chip shortage and pandemic it’s even worst. Glad I pre ordered my 13PM from Apple and picked it up 9/24.
 
I found the key is to check Apple's site early in the morning. A few usually pop up but are gone fast at least for me in the NYC area.
