"Lack of core" has become a major problem in the global IT and automotive industries, whether it is consumer electronics such as mobile phones and computers, or industries such as automobiles, home appliances, and security, all because chip supply cannot keep up, resulting in delayed shipments or even reduced production. Recent users who have purchased Apple products may have found that the delivery time of booking the new MacBook Pro has been postponed until May 25 to June 9.
Well-known analyst Mingxi Guo said that due to the shortage of parts around the world, the delivery time of Apple's MacBook Pro has been significantly extended. It is reported that the only supplier of macBook Pro is Quanta Computer, and its delivery time is currently delayed by about 3 to 5 weeks.
In addition to the MacBook Pro, Apple's official website shows that the shipment date of the Mac Studio with the M1 Max chip has also been delayed to May, and the M1 Ultra chip will not even be delivered until mid-to-late June. Mac Studio was released in early March and was originally scheduled for release on March 18.
Even the Studio Display display has to be shipped as early as early June, perhaps related to its use of Apple's A13 chip. At the end of this month, Apple will hold a fiscal second quarter 2022 earnings conference call, which is expected to reveal more news about the supply chain.
