“As reports of a forthcoming hardware refreshes continue to mount, Apple has braced its certified resellers for unusually long shipping times of two to three weeks for both models of its minute Mac mini desktop systems,” Sam Oliver reports for AppleInsider.
“Both the low-end, 120GB hard drive Mac mini and the top-tier 320GB model now have a wait time of two to three weeks,” Oliver reports. “Typically, the hardware ships in one to three business days for non-custom orders, people familiar with the online Apple Store for Resellers told AppleInsider.”
Oliver reports, “It’s [the] latest piece of anecdotal evidence to suggest that Apple’s rumored Mac hardware refreshes are due sometime this month. This week, Apple told its U.S. retail outlets that orders for many existing desktop Macs would go unhonored, and the models will not be restocked.”
“All four of Apple’s all-in-one aluminum iMac offerings are also expected to be replaced in a forthcoming product update,” Oliver reports. “The iMac lineup currently has a delay of three to five business days for reseller online orders — a wait longer than usual, but not entirely uncommon, one person said.”
