Apple shipping delays and why Hoxton Macs aren't affected

If you purchase an upgraded Mac from Apple, there are 2-4 week delays on the majority of items at the moment. For example, if you order an M1 Mac mini now and configure it with 1TB storage you likely won’t receive it for four weeks!

It’s been this way for a fair while, in 2022 Apple attributed the supply issues to ongoing component shortages and manufacturing issues caused by the global pandemic. These delays are expected to continue into 2023 and are rumoured to be impacting Apple’s next set of product releases, for example the next generation M2 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro models which were due in early 2023.
