We’re approaching two months since the reveal of the iPhone 17, but Apple’s supply is still catching up with the demand in some regions.
The standard iPhone 17 — the surprise hit of this year’s iPhone series — has been sold out online since launch weekend. The base iPhone 17 didn’t sell out as quickly as the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which saw shipping delays on Apple’s online store within minutes of the start of preorders, but it went out of stock in the following days. Apple has struggled to meet demand since then. By late October, Apple managed to improve iPhone 17 supply in certain markets, but three models were still sold out in some regions. The first week of November brought additional stock improvements, but the base iPhone 17 remains sold out in the U.S., right alongside the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
BGR has been following iPhone 17 stock updates since preorders began, reporting shipping estimates every Friday. Our checks on November 7 show that the iPhone 17 models are largely available in all the markets we’ve been following since September 12. As a reminder, we’ve performed the same inventory checks that Apple’s local websites support.
