It is often said that clues about what Apple will launch at an upcoming event can be found if you visit Apple’s online store to see the expected shipping dates for certain products. So in general, the long wait for Apple products before WWDC will be a sure sign that something new is coming, but in this day and age of global material shortages, there are many reasons why buying a Mac is not as easy as before. Stay.
Still, the timing is not great. As Apple prepares to release a new macOS beta, many developers are looking for new machines in June to test their apps, and they may have to wait a long time. Shipping of most MacBook Pros models is delayed for a few months, and stock of new Mac Studios, especially the M1 Ultra model, is similarly limited.
In fact, the only Macs that don’t seem to be in short supply in the United States are the older M1 Macs: the MacBook Air, the 13-inch MacBook Pro, the Mac Mini, and the 24-inch iMac, all of which are mostly available. For immediate shipping.
Although Apple shipping delays are rarely a new phenomenon, especially with new products, just last month, many of these products are being shipped in 2-3 weeks. The M1 Max MacBook Pros comes with a backlog of six weeks. So it’s getting worse there. When you order from the Apple Store today, when can you expect to get your Mac:
