MacBook Air Shortage Persists After $200 Price Hike Driven by Memory Chip Crunch

TL;DR Summary
Bloomberg reports a major MacBook Air shortage with U.S. delivery estimates of 2–6 weeks, longer for higher-RAM configurations, despite Apple’s $200 price increase to $1,299. The supply constraint is tied to a memory chip shortage fueled by AI server demand, affecting other Macs like the Mac Studio and Mac mini as Apple struggles to meet demand.
