14in M1 max Delivery Delays?!

So I dont know if my posts here have angered the apple gods but now when I go online to check the status of my order it is gone - the order number cannot be found……………….. after three months of waiting I really hope that it has not self destructed and I do need to start all over again! Maybe something is happening and I am going to get charged and notified it has shipped.. or maybe it is a disaster??

I am in Australia. Sadly it looks like the order number has gone AWOL due to a fail in Apple’s system today and not because it is about to change status to shipped.. At least it still exists and I don’t have to take the apple rep’s advice and reorder my machine.

I can’t still see it but the apple rep assures me that it is still there - they are just having some kind of outage today with their order status apparently - so fingers crossed its all under control (hopefully)

It's May 11. I'm so peeved, it's hard to summon the strength to check the delivery status of a device I long ago needed for work. I'm screwed. What to do? Buy a PC? There's no exit from a bad situation. By the time I receive it, Apple will be marketing the update.

Ok so now after this much time passed I want to see a counter showing how many computers need to be built before mine because this is killing me. Apple has high tech processes and facilities... they must be able to do better than saying its "processing" (order placed 3rd Fed mbp 14 max 24gpu 1tb ssd 64gb ram) until its ready to be shipped. At least if there was a counter showing how many units until mine is built it would be steadily counting down showing some progress.

Also I see in another thread someone's mbp ordered Feb 10 is now shipped with 20 may delivery. Great fortune to them but that really hurts... I get it ..the covid and the riots and human rights and working conditions and lockdowns and shortage. But where is the considered planning and risk management as some here have mentioned and above all, if we find ourselves in unprecedented times- where is the creative and considered response to this situation?

My laptop is for work use so it has been salary sacrificed from my wages. So I have had $750 a ft taken from my wage to be returned to me on the production of a receipt for the computer I have purchased

Computer was ordered 3rd Feb. So I have had nearly $5000 taken out of pay but because Apple won't give me an invoice or charge the credit card untill the computer ships I am just really needing some proof of concept at this point.

Thanks team, hang in there

You can want that, though you're unlikely to get it. You can let Apple know that it's something you'd like to see here:

Product Feedback - Apple

<< I want to see a counter showing how many computers need to be built before mine because this is killing me. >>

The number would about 47,000 a DAY. PROVIDED the factory starts running now at full scale and can ship without delays, and assuming the lead time to the END of the predicted delivery window is eight weeks:

So that counter would read 2,800,000 units to be built before yours.

I do not see how that number helps you feel any better.

Yes I read that, but I didn’t see a news article about it, or have any frame of reference for when it happened, or have the name of the city so I can independently check on it. It’s hearsay, which gives peace of mind for a bit but doesn’t just cure anxiety.

I mean for all I know, that could have happened in December of last year, well before I ordered my mac. And then it wouldn’t be a viable excuse because I would have been quoted an incorrect delivery date from the start.

Even if it was going down at 47 a day it would be slowly ticking down, progressing somewhere. With a Feb 3rd order date I can't be at the very back of the line. The "processing" in the apple buying process is fine for normal transactions but at this stage with these kinds of blow-outs something different needs to be done

Now my biggest worry is that they’ll announce a MBP refresh in June, maybe even with lower prices, right after my return window ends. Ughhh.

How would that be any different than if yours had arrived in February and a new one was announced in June? There would still be a newer, cheaper one than you have.

The bottom line is that there is always going to be something shiner released after you buy a piece of tech. But, if you buy what meets your needs, it will still meet your needs after the new thing has been released.

What a cutie posing with the machine! ❤️

im hoping mine arrives soon too. Since I also ordered on the same date. But considering my luck with gadgets I shouldn’t think about it. Lol. Left my newly bought iPad on the flight 😂

I disagree. Sharing this let’s other people who are also in same situation feel like they are not alone in frustration.

ordered 16” max and it’s been delayed to June. I’m sad about it and don’t care that you don’t care 🤷🏾‍♂️

Would you be happier if we gave you false information? Information we do not have access to but can fabricate so you'll feel better?

That's the only alternative. And frankly, I just don't spread lies and innuendo just because it will makes someone feel better. But as is the usual case, YMMV.

Hey just out of curiosity has anyone who ordered a CTO mb pro M1 actually received their delivery yet? If so how long was the delay for you?

I figure if anyone can tell us how long theirs was delayed for it may provide a guide for others (myself included) on how long we should expect to be waiting in real world terms without feeling the need to be anise with Apple.

I'm in the same boat as you, except they charged my card and pushed the delivery date out to mid- to late-June...

Hypothetical question - how long are the iPhone 14 models gonna be delayed if this is happening on the M1?
