And it does not seem that this has a recovery point at some point and shipments for the new Apple headphones are adding shipping dates never seen before in an Apple product. Not even iPhones in those delayed years were that far from reaching their customers, the AirPods Max add more delays every day.
If you buy now they will send you in March
We are talking about shipping times ranging from 8 to 10 weeks and therefore until the month of March of this new year we would not have the headphones sent in the case of buying a unit right now. The truth is that this is crazy and few users will go shopping at Apple with this long delivery time.
Sometimes the Apple website has news in the stores that they have scattered around the world but this is not the case this week and the previous one that are totally out of stock. Sure Apple replenishes some units at specific times but there is no better way to find out about it if we are not constantly refreshing the web. Some time ago there was the iStocknow website that was really useful to find the stock but with AirPods Max it doesn't work.
So if you are one of those who are thinking of buying AirPods Max be patient or look for alternatives to the Apple website since delivery times are exaggeratedly long.
