Originally launched earlier this month, the high-end desktop computer that is the latest Apple Mac Pro saw its estimated delivery date pushed back from January to February within hours of going on sale. Now, just days later, the computer is facing further delays, with new orders not shipping until March.
Far from the only recent instance of Apple suffering from major stock shortages, the launches of a number of the company’s key products over the past 12 months have been troubled by limited availability.
While the iPhone 5S was in particularly short supply at launch, especially the gold-hued model, the iPad mini 2 was also troubled by limited stocks at launch.
A device in hot demand, the new Mac Pro marks a complete ground-up rebuild over past models, with the pricey machine now playing host to a compact, cylindrical aluminium hewn body that measures just 9.9-inches tall – an eighth of the overall size of its predecessor.
