iPhone6_PF_SpGry_5-Up_iOS8-PRINT-2If you’re having trouble finding an iPhone 6 to buy, you’re not alone – the demand for the new phones still vastly outpaces Apple’s supply of handsets.

“We’re selling everything we make,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said when asked about sales of new iPhones during a conference call with financial analysts today.

Although Apple is in the middle of the fastest manufacturing ramp-up in its history, the company is still selling out of new phones the instant that they get released. That rabid level of demand contributed to Apple’s blockbuster iPhone sales numbers for the most recent quarter, which include the 10 million phones Apple sold during the device’s launch weekend. Overall unit sales of the iPhone rose 16 percent for the quarter to more than 39 million units.

“It’s a good problem to have,” Cook quipped.

But people who are trying to buy one of the new phones may not feel the same way. Right now, people who buy an iPhone 6 will see it shipped in 7-10 days from Apple’s online store, and the 6 Plus won’t ship until 3-4 weeks from now.

It’s not clear when iPhone fans will see any sort of relief, either. Cook was asked if the company’s sales projections for the upcoming quarter assumed that the company’s supply would fulfill demand, and the Apple CEO said they didn’t include any such thing. Instead, he said that those projections relied on first seeing supply and demand met, and that hasn’t happened yet.

So much for “bendgate” hurting the company’s sales.
