The global memory shortage hits the MacBook Air
The global memory chip shortage is impacting the availability of the MacBook Air, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The shortage, driven by demand from AI companies, has already affected other Apple models and is now causing significant stock issues for the MacBook Air, with some configurations delayed until September. In response, Apple is raising prices and sourcing memory from Chinese suppliers while delaying its back-to-school promotion, which now emphasizes the MacBook Pro instead.
