Apple is ready to reveal a new MacBook Air at the annual development conference (WWDC) on Monday, but even if that happens, you might not be able to buy it immediately. According to reports from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Shutdown Covid-19 at the Chinese factory that makes MacBook might mean a limited supply of new devices or further release dates.
China's zero-covid policy has caused the temporary closure of the factory that made Apple products, including Pegatron and Quanta. Although China has begun to loosen up some of the restrictions on the movement which was originally restored in March, some environments in Shanghai are still under locking.
Apple analyst Ming-chi Kuo hopes that Apple will send around six to seven million new macbooks before the third quarter of this year if Quanta's production capacity returns to the pre-lockdown level.
He also believes that there may be more new MacBook Air delivery when compared to MacBook Pro 14 to 16 Inch-Macbook Air new delivery will be sent by Quanta and Foxconn, while MacBook Pro is sent only with Quanta. Apple currently has a new MacBook Pro order that is detained until the end of July due to the closure and lack of parts.
Both Gurman and Ming-Chi Kuo agreed that the upcoming MacBook Air would not come in a variety of colors. It is more likely to display several standard options such as existing space and silver, with the addition of two new colors, including dark blue and "gold like champagne."
Gurman also thinks MacBook Air will come with a 13-inch screen, two USB-C ports, the ability to fill in Magsafe, and Touch ID. It was not expected to come with a touch bar, and maybe even showed a notch like a MacBook Pro.
