Why do i have to wait 3-4 weeks for my iphone?

So the other day i went to get my iphone and i thought you can just walk in and pay and get but we payed for it and picked out the plan then they told us that it was going to take 3-4 weeks to get to the store. So we agreed and as we where leaving this lady goes in to buy a cover and them they asked her if she had if but she said no and that she wanted to buy one and they sold it to her and i just wanted to know why?

Since they are still on back order, thats why

They might be out of stalk and have to order one

High demand probably

They are most likely out of stock. And they use the cheapest shipping possible.

Where have you been for the last three weeks? The number 1 story from Apple has been that they didn't have nearly enough iPhone 5's to meet current demand. Wake up. Pay attention.

  • Why is my phone freezing and restarting if I only got it 3 weeks ago? I got an IPhone XR for my birthday 3 weeks ago, and about 2 weeks ago it started acting up. It would freeze and restart the whole phone and black out at random times. It's been happening a lot more recently, about 2 times a week my phone will act up. I don't know if the phone is just defective or what.
  • Should I buy the iPhone 5 or wait 2 weeks until the new one comes out? I recently lost my phone and the plan I'm on is ending. So I need too get on a new phone service. I was going too try too suck it up and wait for the new iphone too come out in September but I'm going crazy without my phone! I can't keep in contact with anyone i need too and Its driving me insane. All the prices for the iphone 5 are high and when the new one comes out the price is dropping BY DOUBLE for the iphone 5. I don't know what to do someone help me please!
  • Just cracked my iPhone 5 (just got 2 weeks ago)? Like in the title just cracked the screen and wondering what my next step is? Some say its a free replacement since I just got it. Replacement at the apple store, but I know th warranty doesn't cover this since it is an accidental damage. Very confused and so pissed if I have to pay for a brand new one this is just a few weeks brand new.
  • IPhone 5c had for 3 weeks and it's cracked? I've had it since Christmas and I guess in my sleep I dropped it and it's cracked, will apple repair it for free or what?
