“Apple’s hottest products are facing significant demand in China, with the 11-inch MacBook Air, certain versions of the iPad, and the iPhone 4 all facing shortages,” Neil Hughes reports for AppleInsider.

“Analyst Brian White with Ticonderoga Securities is continuing his tour of the Far East, and on Monday provided investors an update on his second day in China,” Hughes reports. “Though he noted the iPad and 11-inch MacBook Air, in particular he found the iPhone 4 to be Apple’s most difficult product to purchase.”

Hughes reports, “He said wait times [for iPhone 4] are around two months and carrier China Unicom is unable to fulfill about a third of pre-orders.”
