Apple suppliers are reportedly working to increase their production capacity in preparation for the release of the new MacBooks and AirPods in the second half of this year.
Shin Zu Shing supplies Apple with components for MacBooks, AirPods, and AirPods Max. The manufacturer is currently reportedly working with Apple to supply components for new MacBook and AirPods products. The supplier is reportedly struggling to meet demand and is currently hiring more workers to increase production capacity. While the report doesn't specify which MacBooks and AirPods are expected, it's highly likely they will be redesigned MacBook Pro models with Apple Silicon and third-generation AirPods.
AirPods & MacBooks: Component shortage to blame for delays
The second half of 2021 timeframe coincides with a number of other reports about the redesigned MacBook Pro models. Reliable Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman said that new MacBook Pro models could appear as early as this summer. However, Apple analyst Ming Chi-Kuo, Nikkei Asia and TrendForce have made a broader prediction that new MacBook Pro models will appear in the second half of 2021. Similarly, Bloomberg and DigiTimes have claimed that the third generation of AirPods will debut in the fall, with the focus being on the third quarter. Economic Daily News pointed out that there was a shortage of components, which triggered these delays. (Photo by Dontree / Bigstockphoto)
