Possibly, but i also heard that Apple employees were taking longer lunch breaks, leading to longer shipping times.

The Apple Ireland store says 7 Days, but aren't Apple currently at their MacBook-selling-peak? I remember hearing that their actually selling more than they can ship.

That's a more likely story, it's back to School/Uni/College time.

They were "within 24 hours" a day or so ago. Now they're at "4 - 6 days" mind you, it's Saturday, almost Sunday so maybe they're just having a bit a break...

UK Store -

Mac Mini both models - 24 hours

MacBook all 3 models - 7 days

MacBook Pro all 3 models - 24 hours

iMac 17" - 24 hours

iMac 20" - 5 days

Mac Pro standard model - 24 hours



It's the back to School/Uni/College shortage that Apple can't keep up with on the MacBooks.

Yeah, keep forgetting all you guys are going back to Uni now. We're (well, not me, I've finished) about 2 months away from the long summer holidays.

Haven't you noticed us lot stuck without our MacBooks (see the thread Noooo (Macbook shipping delayed)) 🙁 The delay is starting to get ridiculous now, I hope it is worth it 🙂

I was at my local apple reseller this morning, they said that they have none in stock and that apple have told them a 21 day delivery time.
