Yes, but one week to wait for your app is nothing to complain about.
let's say you have a bug that makes your app unusable. If you can't get an update our for a week - people are going to just stop using your app.
Sometime there are 0 days etc.. So, maybe you should have broader view on things instead of simple assumption.
You should want higher speed and quality of service from your vendors. In this case, apple is paid wonderfully for it.
