The global memory shortage hits the MacBook Air

The global memory chip shortage is significantly impacting the availability of the MacBook Air. Despite a $200 price increase in June, Apple is struggling to maintain stock, with shipments more constrained than ever. In the U.S., delivery estimates range from two to six weeks, particularly for configurations with higher RAM. This supply crisis stems from increased demand for memory chips and SSD storage used in powerful AI servers for data centers, causing prices to skyrocket.
