iPhone 15 Pro Lack of stock in stores - Surprising

As above keep checking. Stores near me did receive some pro maxes in stock but they are out of stock.
I'm in Canada. Finding a Pro Max in the near Toronto area is... well, I've not seen one on the iphone inventory checker site, just a few pros now and then which don't stay long. But I keep looking in hope of getting one before my online order arrives somewhere in Nov.
There are only a few units popping up every other day, between 11 and 2 pm. But very-vey few. There was stock today in Markham and in Newmarket, and one unit at Eaton Centre. But they are gone right away.
White is the hardest to get honestly. Took me a few days for one to show up and have to buy quickly.
I had ordered one on Friday night with a delivery of October 24-31, but I configured one today on Apple's site and one popped up in Naperville, IL at the Apple store. Ordered immediately and cancelled the online order. Black 1TB ProMax. Really lucked out.
I was standing outside a local Apple Store and checked online and it showed 0 stock available on 15 PMs. Went in and asked and they had 1 which I bought. He said that when in store stock gets under 3 it won’t show any online. Helps avoid issues of store stock being bought out before someone fully completes their online ordering process.
I’m starting to see some stock in my ”area” for the phone Im looking for. They are a little too far for me to travel though. That’s why I say my “area”. I have one on order for early November but I’m tempted to buy one if one becomes available at my local Apple Store.
By the way, the "Inventory checker" website people keep throwing around doesn't seem to work reliably. It's showing no stock at all in my area, despite the Apple website showing some stock in the same stores. Sadly it's not the model I want, but... Just good to know that if you want to be absolutely sure of availability you need to use Apple's website.
This makes sense. Then, despite zero stock in store site, people who are interested on buying the phone should have courage to visit store frequently until getting the phone to check phone availability with risk of disappointment when targeted phone is not available.
Are you in the US?
My area (Seattle) has 5 Apple stores, and each location has stock available today in most colors of the regular 15.

I went to our local Apple store yesterday and it was confirmed that there was literally only one 256 Max Pro in Nat Titanium all week, that was picked up in seconds. The other units were pre-orders from launch day walk-ins. The stock is VERY low in GTA this year.
Regular iPhone is not an issue at all, except for Pink. There are 0 Pro Maxes, especially in 256, White or Nat Tit. Every day 1-2 appear very sporadically in 10 stores in the area and gone in under a minute.
My 4-year-old XS got destroyed so I needed a new phone immediately, unlocked or through Spectrum Mobile. I would have preferred a 15 Pro, 128 GB, but none were available, so I got a 15 at the Raleigh, NC Apple store. If I can find a 15 Pro in the next 13 days I can return the 15 for a refund, so the hunt is on!
i can’t find anything for natural titanium pro max. Some 15 plus showed up and was tempted to go for that but that opportunity has passed.
The non-pros, except Pink are pretty available. The Pro is 10 days or so. My wife ordered a white Pro and had it in 10 days. The Pro Maxs, that's the tough one.
That's my experience and I'm in the Boston area. I was able to get and try the Plus (which I returned) but I can't get my hands on a Pro Max...
I’m kind of surprised as by this time last year I was able to find the 14 pro max I wanted in store. Checked again a little while ago and there’s not one 15 pro of any size, color, or storage available pretty much anywhere.
