Hi everyone! Those form India, we aren't getting macs from China and is being shipped from India plant and those who pre ordered should expect it to be shipped in 2-3 days time as it going through final testing phase.

Wow that's really slow :(
Why is Apple so slow in delivery in india 😕

What's your expected delivery date by the way?
They don’t treat the Indian market with priority. Sad thing is in premium laptops category everything is grossly overpriced here. Surface and XPS are overpriced by 100% in some cases. At least with MacBooks you only have to pay 25-30% extra and they hold value comparatively well while reselling compared to others.

True...what's your delivery date according to Apple by the way?
 
Yes I've ordered 16 Gb Mac mini m1 on 18th nov...now worried how late it will be given your 11th nov oder is still not shipped 😕😕
 
Usually nearly everything is made in China. Having an M1 that will be stamped 'made in India' will be a collectors piece.

Who are you talking to here? I ordered on 11th, still says processing.
I was talking to Apple chat support. I also pre-ordered on 11th. It’s still in processing and I asked why it’s still in processing when my deliver date is estimated from Nov 26-Dec 2. They were like it’s being tested, packed and will make sure the best machine with no defects are only packed and sent. Since it’s being shipped from India plant, don’t worry it’ll change in the next couple of days it seems and they confirmed there’s no delay for us.

Lol sounds like something a snake oil salesman would say.
HDFC offer is there.

I just talked to Apple support and they said my customised mac mini order is NOT coming from India plant but it’s coming from overseas plant. 😕
 
Isn't that though partially due to Indian tariffs on imports? With different facilities opening in India I would think some items should come down in price if for no other reason than tariffs would no longer apply.
If you take the market seriously you can get around these. Samsung’s premium phones are competitively priced (same price as US in most cases). OnePlus is cheaper here. Xiaomi is coming out with laptops which are very good value for money.

XPS 9300 i5, 8GB, 512GB is $1950 right now on Amazon India.

XPS 9300 i7, 8GB, 512GB is $979 on Dell USA.

Not all of this is tariffs. They are simply not serious. They even refuse to discount the older models. In US dell heavily discounts them.

samsung, oneplus, xiaomi all have factories in India
 
A members post said their M1 mini is comming from an overseas plant therefore I have to ask, is there any evidence that the Apple plant in India is actually making M1 machines?

I guess it depends on models. I posted what Apple told me for MBA 8GB 512GB

When you get yours you will have to see if it says 'made in India' because that would be so cool if it is OR it will say 'Assembled in India'. Depends on the law i suppose because I know in Europe, a product has to be correctly identified as either being 'made' in a country or 'assembled' in a country, because there is a difference.
 
I placed my order on the 12th of November and my delivery date reads "Nov 27 - Dec 3". Haven't received any shipping information, yet.
