If anyone needs an iPhone quickly and the normal ordering is waay too far, like in November, you can try one of the following two methods:

1. Amazon, just refresh a lot every few mins, I snagged a 15 Pro Max 256GB on Blue and it should arrive in a week. They usually sell out in like 30mins.

2.Apple pickup. Prepare an online order, and choose pickup, It'll probably say the same date as normal delivery, however, you can choose to see alternatives that ship quickly and some of these can be in-stock phones that are in the store right now (This is how i got the 13 and 14 at launch)
