Checked my local Apple Store early this a.m. and ordered an M1 16gb / 1 TB MBP for courier delivery this afternoon.
So glad I peeked at the stock again.
Hope everyone receives their M1 machines early.
That's a good suggestion. We just have Best Buy here, and earlier today they had 8gb/512gb silver and SG models in stock for pickup today. Rose Gold was delivery only. Now they just have 8gb/256gb MBA models in stock.
There has to be a trickle of inventory hitting shelves. I hope this is Apple doing a last minute push to get as much inventory landed and delivered to customers or store shelves.
I seen an incredible amount of China Air Cargo, Cargo China flights in the air last night. I was guessing/hoping they were hauling consumer electronics. Wouldn't surprise me if Apple's doing a little something this Christmas (in particular), to get these orders from early December to their destinations. I hope the convo went something like this;
"Hi, can I order 84 tons of M1 devices, give me everything you got"
"Hi China Air Cargo/China Cargo, can you deliver 84 tons of consumer electronics to 16 cities across the world?"
"Hi FedEx/UPS Express, can you pickup our packages from the airport and get them to their final destination by Christmas?"
"Yes.."
