At 8 p.m. this evening, the iPhone 17 series was snapped up almost immediately after pre-orders went live, leaving numerous netizens frustrated by their inability to secure a unit. Presently, Apple's official website indicates that placing an order for the iPhone 17 Pro Max now will result in a delivery date as late as October 11, necessitating a wait of roughly 20 days. This is in stark contrast to the initial sales date for the new device, which was set for September 19.
