I just opened my new MacBook Air and there was an overwhelming smell of mildew when I opened the box. This is not what I expect from Apple products. Has anyone else had this issue recently? What is the source of the odor?

Perhaps inquire from reseller (if not official Apple retail or online purchase) their
return policy. ~ Apple has a good return policy, while authorized resellers do not
have the same; because 'authorized sellers' are independent business entities.
Ask for exchange/return of this unit, since it may have questionable service life ahead.
Good luck & happy trails!

I successfully returned my.awful smelling MacBook Air to Apple and ordered a new one. It took another month to get my 16Gb, 522Gb MacBook Air
it has no foul odor.
Yes both my MacBook air and my iPhone 12 smelled like mildew upon opening. Now having issues with a burning smell
Yes! Just opened this today, bought from a reputable distributor in germany.
