A: We are not Apple. This is a user forum.

B: It is not "hard to buy" an iPhone 14 Pro Max. What's hard is finding one in stock that's available for purchase.

It's called "supply and demand". Demand for them is outstripping the available supply.


Have a little patience. Things will undoubtedly level out after the holidays.

Then you will have to settle for a different device, unfortunately. The iPhone 14 Pro Max will not arrive before Christmas at this point, and may not even arrive until after the new year.


You can try seeing if your carrier has one available, but between it being a new device, and COVID issues at the factories that produce the devices, plus shipping always takes longer this time of year due to holiday shopping, it's going to be hard to get.

You are welcome.


Supply & Demand and Source:

As mentioned above --it's a matter of Supply & Demand. Just think of all the metal these are made from, and how much of it is not mine frequently. I'd say it's nothing of Apple's end.

Thanks for the answer, I already informed myself about this waiting process, it turns out that my current Iphone broke in an accident and I can't wait that long to buy another one and since I have to buy a new one I prefer the 14 pro max, what I don't understand is how a launch is not available in any of the 10+ apple stores, I can't wait at least 2 weeks to have a new phone.
