Manufacturers have contractual obligations to fulfill in accordance with a contract and funds have changed hands. While Apple reserves what it believes at the time will be sufficient stock to meet customer demands, consumer demand can run high and shortages can occur. There are still shortages in the supply chain most notably memory which is in huge demand for AI build out. I’m sure Apple could meet demand if consumers didn’t mind paying an extra $500 secure more memory within a shorter time frame.
