Apple May Not Immediately Ship MacBook Air 2022: Report
Jun. 6, 2022MacBook Air Shipments May Face a Delay
According to Mark Gurman’s Power Onnewsletter,Apple could face supply shortages for the new MacBook Air. That’s because the Chinese factories of Apple’s suppliers that make MacBook Air such as Pegatron and Quanta have halted production in China due to COVID-19-related lockdowns. As a result, if Apple announces the MacBook Air at the event, the report suggests that we may not get an immediate shipping date.
Speaking of the new MacBook Air, renowned Apple analystMing-Chi Kuo predicts that Apple may ship almost six to seven million MacBook Air units in the second half of the year, provided Quanta’s Shanghai production facility scales up to pre-lockdown levels before the third quarter. While Quanta is solely responsible for manufacturing the14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros, Foxconn will manufacture the MacBook Air alongside Quanta.
