I've ordered a new macbook 14" in early March, my delivery date slipped twice already, now it says it's going to be delivered in July. I wonder how much more money would they make if not for supply issues.

[curiouscats]

They mentioned in the conference call they anticipate $4 to $8 billion in supply chain related lost business in this quarter.

At 33% profit margin and using the mid-point of $6 billion that would cost them $2 billion in missed profit this quarter.

Well it’s stopped me from upgrading my maxed out 2015 mbp. I’m very impatient and the 2015 is still going strong so part of me doesn’t even want to spend the money on a new device and then wait months for it to arrive.

You've been waiting 7 years already, what is another couple of months?

Must just be the 14" models? Best buy near me has the 16" models available for pickup and they are on sale for $250 off right now, making them cheaper than the 14".

yeah I got a studio w/studio display+trade in, the studio itself arrive in a week or so I think? with a week available for the return. Then at the end of the delivery window for the display the silently bumped it to Aril 27. Yesterday they silently bumped it to May 27.

Fair depressing experience.

Ditto. At this point it’s easier just to drive to Chicago and pick one up.

Same issue with the Studio Display.

In most countries the backlog is 1-2 months away.

[aosaigh]

Likewise. I cancelled my order as a result.

[herpderperator]

I mean, you paid them already.

Apple doesn’t take the money until they ship it. People waiting on orders have not paid

Long lead times can make people hold off on the purchase. IME it’s pretty rare for someone to see an ETA of ~4+ weeks and still go ahead with a purchase.
