I hope 80% of all high-end manufacturing of China goes to countries like India and the Philippines
Hi guys, letting you all know that my MacBook Air has been shipped! Would be receiving it tomorrow!
I've already decided on the model, just waiting for it to arrive. although i'm still confused about the color choice. mind says space gray, heart says go for gold. never been so confused in recent times lol.
I just hope they don't come with any inferior build compared to the rest.
great! there was one store who told me there is a slight chance it might arrive on 27th (and they accept pre order from 27th only). hope that's the case
I would prefer import. Apple Care Plus now is absurdly expensive. 25% cost. The previous Apple Care was better as I do not want compulsory accidental coverage.
We need better consumer laws like Europe. Indians get shafted everywhere. Americans and Europeans also get free accidental coverage when they purchase with credit card. In India you need to pray to god that MacBook doesn’t run into issues after coverage expires.
You were right, It is being shipped from Mumbai.Mine as well
My Mac mini has shipped, would be arriving on December 4th.
When you track it it says Mumbai. Maybe they are imported there in bulk. Or assembled.
No idea man, when I track I get the message of information available for the particular tracking number.
I am confused if Apple has actually shipped the Mac or is it in queue; as the delivery date is shown as Dec 4th.
Yes this is exactly what I said a page ago. So in India, our order remains on Processing a lot longer than usual. There is no assembling or manufacturing happening here of these products currently.
What is the status now?
Mine got delivered an hour ago. The speakers on MBA are very impressive. You can easily watch movies on it. Earlier I had a 20 watt Anker Soundcore bluetooth speaker.
Is this an Apple problem, or your government?
I ask because I have family in the Philippines, and the government there taxes things in such a way that it is more economical for us to send the same product purchased in the USA to them even after air express shipping, than it is to send them money to buy the same things locally at dealers there.
My 2020 iMac says it was assembled in Ireland. Made me proud as I have Irish heritage. If assembled in India, it will state it. The components still come from China.
