US shipping dates for all 13-inch MacBook Pro models with the 24GB unified memory upgrade are August 3-August 10. The sources found that the 24GB unified memory version of the 13-inch MacBook Pro on Apple’s official website in China was delayed until July 28 to August 4, and it was also delayed until around August.
Moreover, Apple has encountered supply shortages in delivering Mac products this year, which officials have said can be attributed to ongoing component shortages and manufacturing issues caused by the global pandemic.
On an earnings call in April, Apple CFO Luca Maestri said that continued supply issues are expected to impact product sales in the third fiscal quarter of 2022. Apple encountered supply problems in the fiscal second quarter and expects those problems to worsen later in the fiscal year. Apple has yet to announce a release date for the M2 MacBook Air.
