I've been checking all Apple stores up to 500 miles away, and non are showing inventory for any Pro model iPhone, regardless if it is un-locked or selecting paying in full by selecting a carrier as well, is the Apple site down by any chance? Even selecting other Gigabytes capacities makes no difference either, you are more then welcome to try for yourselves.
 
They are all in china now, you should see more inventory by 2nd week of october
 
Yeah a little surprised that inventory didn't at least have something today. Over weekend my local store had several 13 Pros 512GB but they went pretty quick on Sunday. Last year - our local apple store got a shipment in over the weekend and my wife and I were able to schedule a Sunday in store pickup like the week of or the week after release (I can't remember).

Inventory is for sure much less than usual.

Lately you could walk in and get an iPhone on launch week even with no pre-orders.

Checking apple app would show stock through the city (LA)

This year they did not have anything pass 10AM Friday at any location.

I found plenty on Friday and Saturday in L.A. and Orange County. For some reason today there was absolutely nothing. I don’t think it’s because there’s no inventory. I think the Apple Stores are getting way too much to handle in capacity of people and they’re purposely not allowing in-store pickups to be scheduled. Just a hunch.
 
Inventory is defiantly constrained more this year than the past few years. Honestly, I just think Apple didn't expect that high of a demand as they did, I mean look how fast the phones got pushed back when pre-orders opened, last year I accidentally slept in a few hours got up, and was able to get my launch day iPhone order in. My store got around 42 pre-orders for all the variations of the phones and as the regular 13 models are fine the pros are very limited, and the Pro Maxs are like a needle in a haystack, we only got 4 pro max models in and 23 pre-orders for the pro max and the 4 we got was all ATT devices.

What area Apple Store? I noticed a ton of AT&T variants in both Pro Models. Is there a specific reason behind that? I’m fascinated by it for some reason lol

I work at BB Mobile, ATT is a very popular carrier so they tend to have a higher supply than most other carriers. Tmobile is the exact opposite and one of the worst carriers to get phones for which hopefully will start changing soon.
