You do realize you're implying Apple discriminates based on location, which is utterly preposterous. Apple doesn't care what neighborhood you live in.
Did your friend order the exact same color, model and storage level you did? That has a significant influence over availability. There's 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max. There is Silver, Black Blue and Burgundy. And there are multiple storage options one can choose as well. It's likely you chose a combination, which is in higher demand than your friend did and when something is in higher demand, it can take longer to get than something in not as high demand.

Some colors are more popular than others and result in the supply of that color being constrained. Remember, you’re not just ordering your iPhone vs. your friend. You’re ordering your iPhone vs hundreds of thousands of users across the country.

it was different color could this of been s factor
Of course it could.
The amount of storage space that you ordered could possibly be another factor.
You can always brag that your iPhone will be "newer" than your friend's.
