A few days ago we saw the news about the limitation of purchases on Apple products. Specifically, the rule written by Apple during those first days of the launch of the new MacBook Air, Mac mini and the new iPad Pro was limited to a maximum of 5 Mac units per person, 10 iPhone units and similar in the case of the new ones. iPad Pro. It seems that these measures are being lowered little by little and in the Apple online store you can already buy all these devices without limitations, except for some models MacBook and iPad the restriction is maintained.
The news published by Reuters last Monday indicated certain restrictions on product sales due to lack of units. This lack of units can clearly be an indication that in China they had no production power during those months in which the coronavirus kept production completely closed along with the celebration of the Chinese New Year. Now it seems that everything is returning to normal and the increase in stock makes restrictions on purchases be more flexible.
Apple keeps its physical stores closed in most of the world, China is right now the only country in which the stores are still open and that is where the virus is retracting considerably and only cases are detected (at least that is the information that reaches us) that come from outside the country and everything seems to be under control.
We hope that everything returns to normal as the days go by but right now Apple does not have plans to open physical stores again and online purchases are still the only purchase option outside of China.
