Manufacturing issues aside, it's been four months since they were released and Apple still can't produce enough supply to meet demand.

U.S. states realign in legal battle over Trump's travel ban Posted: 22 Apr 2017 05:00 AM PDT By Dan Levine and Mica Rosenberg SAN FRANCISCO/NEW YORK (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's travel ban on citizens of six Muslim-majority nations faces its second challenge at a U.S. appeals court next month, and this time more Republican states are backing the measure, while one Democratic state attorney general dropped out of the legal fight this week. Some legal experts say the states' realignment could signal that the changes made last month to Trump's original executive order have strengthened the government's case. Sixteen Democratic state attorneys general and the District of Colombia on Thursday filed a "friend of the court" brief backing Hawaii in its bid to block the March 6 executive order, which two federal judges put on hold before it could be implemented.
