I'm not saying that Apple won't sell the new models but any market share loss will cost them more then it would cost other manufacturers because they have more to prove.
The first batch from the UK Apple store has already sold out, and you now can't order for a March 16th delivery.
Of course we don't know if that is because demand is very high, or supply was low.
The US store still has all models stocked for a March 16th delivery. The French and German stores are saying 19th March.
