The truth is that we knew that the new iMac and are going to be delayed in terms of shipments but we did not imagine that much. In this case, the new Apple all-in-one devices in their basic model have delivery dates for this same month of May, specifically for the last week between June 25 and 1, but when we launch for the next model from eight cores we already skipped another week, from June 9 to 16 for delivery.
Clearly demand and reserve for these new equipment may have been high but we do not believe that enough to increase the delivery times of these new equipment so significantly. Apple was aware of this at the time they launched the new iMac since chip shortages, the global pandemic, and other external factors undoubtedly slow deliveries.
It is possible that these delivery times will decrease as demand decreases. but we do not believe that this will be the case for some time since it is common to see delays in shipments as the days go by.
Surely in Apple they are the first interested to make deliveries as soon as possible better so they are forcing the machinery to the maximum to reduce these delivery times. Sometimes the delivery times will be much longer than they really are and by this we mean on many occasions the products arrive before the expected final deadline. In the event that you want a more personalized team, you have to consider that the delivery times they extend even a little more reaching dates from June 15 to 22.
I ordered the new 24 ″ M1 imac on April 30, I guess I was one of the first. I asked for it with 2 TB and 16 GB of memory, and yes, the term they gave me was 5 to 6 weeks, that is, I expected it for mid-June. Well, as you can imagine, I have not received it yet, and what is more desperate, nobody gives me an approximate date, but still, I do not see any complaints from any user, not even Apple showing its face. I hope that this comment encourages someone to take their case.
