I ordered a MacBook Pro on February 14th and it was due at the latest on the 20th tonight I received a update now saying the 9th JUNE :-(
Might be time to set up a second plant in India as well for the computers
if China plants are having issues, India plants would folded even worse
This is just the beginning. Apple is too reliant on China for the supply of the majority (if not all) of its products. The stupid policies in China will result in mass lockdowns for a prolonged period of time in many cities. This will never end.
Wow! Mine barely made it. I wanted to order a LG OLED42C2 but it's on backorder for about 14 to 16 weeks.
Yikes. I almost placed an order for a 16" M1 Max a few weeks ago, and it had a pretty long lead time (mid-May, iirc). On a whim, I checked B&H Photo... and literally had the configuration I wanted in my hands the next day. Talk about lucking out.
My Ultra arrived in Hong Kong on April 2, moved to Taiwan on April 9, and arrived at my home on April 11 (5 days past original UPS delivery date). Things are pretty backlogged, but once it leaves HK, it should get to you quickly.
Got my studio 3 weeks ago, but my 2 displays with the height adjust were showing delivery April 15-22.. no update yet but thinking that's looking unlikely..
I feel for apple. You can bet that they would move supply chains elsewhere if it was possible. It isn't. There just isn't anywhere that can do what is needed on the scale and speed that china can do it. Changing that game will take 20-30 years, and has already begun.

Glad I have my MBP 16" m1Pro and my Mac Studio M1Max in hand. It's only going to get worse...
Shoot, ordered mine two days ago, when it said delivery May 9-16. Hope that is still the case, but sounds like I may be among the unlucky ones...
Canceled my order and bought a refurb 16" Max/64GB/4TB, it will be here on Monday. I originally ordered a 16" Pro/32GB/4TB for slightly less coin, hadn't been charged for it yet.
Probably a good deal since refurbs will probably be bought up depending on how bad delays get. And it sounds like the price wasn’t too different even with double the RAM.
ordered my MacBook Pro max 1TB mid December via our company supplier, was told I would not get it before mid May, hopefully not being delayed more
High-end MacBook Pro models are experiencing extended delivery times due to component shortages and ongoing lockdowns in China caused by the global pandemic, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
In the online Apple Store, M1 Max and custom M1 Pro versions of the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro deliveries are delayed until late May or early June, and in-store pickups are unavailable until June.
We have also heard from several MacRumors readers who were waiting on MacBook Pro models ordered in March and April and who have now had their shipments significantly delayed because of Apple's supply issues.
MacRumors reader Eric, for example, ordered in March and was supposed to receive his machine by April 22, but now his order has been delayed until mid-May. MacRumors reader Vera was supposed to get an M1 Max MacBook Pro on April 13, but now the estimated delivery date is May 9 to May 16.
We've received several reports from frustrated Apple customers who have been patiently waiting for their MacBook Pro models to arrive in April, and many of them are now being forced to wait until at least May as Apple tries to solve its supply issues.
Apple might provide more color on its supply chain problems during Q2 2022 earnings call which is set to take place on Thursday, April 28. In addition to MacBook Pro shipping delays, Apple is also seeing delays for the Mac Studio with M1 Ultra chips, and some Intel-based Mac Pro models.
The MacBook Air, Mac mini, and iMac appear to be readily available, as do Apple's iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches.

I ordered a 16" M1 Max chip with 64GB memory and 2TB storage on January 4th and the status changed to preparing to ship this week. They originally told me 6-10 weeks.
