There have been a few changes this week between carriers, but the theme generally remains the same: Silver is the main constrained color for the iPhone 17 Pro and there are weekly variances appearing with the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Here is the week-over-week comparison between for iPhone 17 Pro:
T-Mobile and Verizon are quickly coming into an “in stock” condition as we predicted. Our estimate is a fully in stock state for all carriers within two weeks. With nearly two-thirds of the iPhone 17 Pro sales at the 256 GB memory level, we think the Holiday selling season will not be limited by spot shortages.
This is not the situation for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. As we discussed in last week’s assessment, it’s not as easy to see the glidepath for the super-premium lineup.
For those readers who are concerned about Verizon’s “color not available online” condition (Space Orange for the 256 GB, silver for the 1 TB size), this condition lasts for about a week and is common for both AT&T and Verizon with unique size/ color combinations. The wider the array of color/ memory combinations, the greater the probability.
We have mentioned this previously, but to see T-Mobile (24-month installments) keeping even with their peers (30-month installments) is notable. Prospective and current customers appear to be more comfortable with the higher payment.
Bottom line: iPhone 17 Pro settling in for an avabilability landing in two weeks. Too early to make that call for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. More next Sunday. Files are below.
