After Apple announced its two new M1 computers, the iMac and iPad Pro, it has been interesting to follow the delivery time.
Apple expects to lose at least NOK 33 billion due to production challenges
Because it’s the only way to keep up with the popularity of Apple’s products, especially since they do not long disclose the number of sales in quarterly reports.
For those of you who really want an iPad Pro M1, the order is probably long overdue, and for the others of you who may be waiting, it does not seem to be a crisis.
The iMac M1 can be delivered from relatively 3 to 4 weeks for the most affordable, to 5 to 6 weeks for the two more expensive basic models.
Sold out, but no crisis
Now Bloomberg reports that Apple has problems producing enough miniLED panels for the largest model, which is the only one with Liquid Retina XDR. The newspaper reported even before the announcement, or rather in April, that it would be challenging for Apple to produce enough, and they got it right.
The surprising thing is that it still does not take more than 4 to 6 weeks to deliver iPad Pr 12.9 in Norway, and only days before the first trays land in the mailbox of the first customers.
Apple has been more sold out with other products
There has often been a much longer waiting time for other products, but it is clear: if you want one right away, up to 6 weeks can be long enough.
Apple’s production partners are simply struggling to produce enough panels because they are more advanced, a problem that will be solved, but which will hardly be solved this year.
Apple’s smallest iPad Pro, 11 inches, has a delivery time of 2 to 3 weeks.
