According to sources, the delivery time for almost all MacBook Air configurations in Apple’s online store is 2-3 weeks, while the 32 GB RAM configuration is 4-5 weeks. For example, the 13-inch MacBook Air with 32GB RAM won’t ship until next month, and won’t be available for in-store pickup until the last week of September.
The increase in delivery times comes shortly after Apple recently raised prices for Macs and iPads. In particular, the price of the MacBook Air M5 increased by US$200 in early June, but even after the price increase, device shortages still exist.
Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman pointed out that Apple is actively pushing customers to buy MacBook Pro due to supply issues. Apple retail store employees say MacBook Air supply is “more limited than ever.”
During its latest quarterly earnings call, Apple Chief Financial Officer Kevan Parekh warned that iPhone, iPad and Mac supply problems will only get worse this quarter. New rumors suggest that Apple will increase the price of the iPhone 17. There is also news that the company may delay the launch of the iPhone 18 until next year due to shortages of processors and memory chips.
