Apple Device Shortages Threaten Record-Setting Holiday Blitz

Updated on
  • Store employees say supply situation is the bleakest in years
  • Latest iPhones, iPads, Macs and watches all see long delays

Shoppers looking for Apple Inc. devices this holiday season are facing a chilly reality: Most everything they might want to buy will take weeks to arrive.

Orders for the company’s newest products -- the iPhone 13, iPad mini, ninth-generation iPad, Apple Watch Series 7 and MacBook Pro -- won’t be fulfilled until November or December. Even some older devices, including the iMac announced in April, the Mac Pro and some pricier configurations of the MacBook Air, are seeing delays.
