If you ’re thinking aboutorderingone of the young MacBook Pros , it ’s worth bearing in mind that it may take a while to arrive . In fact , we can inform you that it may take well over a calendar month before you receive your laptop , and you could be waiting until next year .
look at theUK Apple storeat time of writing , all four starting constellation of the 14 in MacBook Pro ( both colours , and with 8- and 10 - core processor ) offer delivery appraisal of 2 - 9 December , a wait of between 22 years and 29 days . All six contour of the 16 in Pro give the same estimate .
( For comparison , all six version of theMacBook Airare render us estimated appointment of 12 - 16 November , a wait of just 2 - 6 days . )
But for once UK consumers are obtain off lightly compared to their transatlantic friend . At the US Apple Store , livery fourth dimension are even longer , with client monish not to carry delivery until early January .
Leaving aside the high demand on almost any Modern Apple product ( which is predictable ) , one likely reason for the foresightful delivery time is the globular microchip shortage , which is chivvy much of the electronics diligence at the consequence . So it is not necessarily the eccentric that the new models are in great need than their predecessor .
On a related note , there are recollective lead clock time for other Apple production at the moment , including theiPhone 13 , iPad and Apple Watch .
