iPhone 17 Pro Max restock in stores?

Hi does anyone know when the new iPhone 17 pro max will finally be restocked in stores. There are about 10 Apple stores near me and all are out of stock. I would expect this when it first came out but it’s about to be march. I know I can ship it but I’d rather buy it at the store. I’ve been trying for the last 3 weeks now and it’s always out of stock.

The people on these boards are mostly other customers and won't know about Apple's inventory system. Ask the store staff.

If you know what color and storage capacity that you want.....and you don't want to wait and continue to take your chances......you do have the option to buy from Apple online and specify that you want to pick up the phone at the Apple Store of your choice.


You will be notified when the Apple Store receives your phone and it is ready for pick up. A person at the store will help you with the setup if you wish.

Out of curiosity, where abouts are you that you have 10 corporate owned Apple Stores within a reasonable distance?


There are various such places, and the only one here that gets to define “reasonable” is stxphnie2898:


As for the original question, I’d order what I wanted, either for pickup — use the check nearby stores mechanism for what is in store stock — or for delivery. And an appropriate configuration was in store stock, I’d order it for pickup so it doesn’t sell beforehand.
