Apple unveiled its new 14-inch MacBook Pro 2021 and 16-inch MacBook Pro 2021 at the Apple Unleashed event, and they are already in very high demand. Powered by the new M1 Pro and M1 Max processors, the new laptops are Apple's most powerful laptops to date and offer a significant upgrade from the MacBook Pro M1 introduced last year.

Given the power and features of the new MacBook, it's no surprise that consumers have rushed to Apple stores and other retailers to pre-order this laptop. Unfortunately, however, people who are trying to get their hands on a MacBook are reporting delays. While some users will receive their MacBooks next week, others will have to wait longer.

Shipping expectations have improved over the past few days. Users who pre-ordered the new MacBooks are starting to receive emails informing them of new delivery estimates. iJustine and other celebrities have had their estimates changed from December to November. These updated delivery estimates are not ideal, but they are not as bad as before.

Right now, it's tough to get a MacBook Pro 14" fast enough.

The $1,999 14-inch MacBook Pro is expected to ship between November 15 and November 22; the same goes for the $2,499 model. Neither will be available for pickup at the Apple Store. If you want Apple's faster M1 Max chip, the estimated shipping date shifts from December 1 to December 8.

Looking at the 16-inch MacBook Pro, the estimated ship dates for all three models range from November 22 to November 30. November 30 is a little over a month from the October 26 release date, but certainly better than waiting until December, as early estimates suggest. The Apple Store will not be available for pickup.

Given the ongoing global chip shortage and supply chain problems caused by the pandemic, it is no surprise that the new MacBooks will suffer delays. It is good to see that the new predictions are not as bad as the original ones, but keep an eye on this page as we will be updating it frequently.
