Apple’s new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro notebooks have apparently started to ship, and should be arriving on some doorsteps fairly soon.
The updated notebooks, as mentioned before, offer a significant redesign, with Apple reintroducing posts as the HDMI and SD card slot, as well as the MagSafe port. The new MacBook Pros are also powered by the M1 Pro or M1 Max chips, the first Apple silicon chips designed for professional machines.
While the new MacBook Pros are now starting to ship to customers ahead of a Tuesday launch, those who have yet to place their orders or perhaps did so a little after pre-orders went live should prepare to face a long wait.
Apple opened pre-orders for the MacBook Pros following its “Unleashed” event last week. Within minutes of pre-orders going live, delivery dates were already slipping by weeks and in some cases by over a month. The 14-inch model, at the time of writing, displays at least 3-4 weeks for delivery, with all 16-inch models showing 4-5 weeks. Exact delivery date estimates will vary depending on location, configuration, and more.
This also comes at a time when the holiday shopping season has somewhat officially begun, as a number of Apple’s products, including the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and Apple Watch Series 7, face long delivery dates.
If your 14-inch or 16-inch 2021 MacBook Pro is en route, please let us know in the comments.
