Well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated today that shipments of MacBook Air and MacBook Pro equipped with M1 processors have been reduced, with a specific decline of around 15%.
According to Ming-Chi Kuo, there are three reasons for Apple‘s sharp cut in orders. The first is the shortage of parts, the second is the decline in user purchase demand (due to inflation), and the third is to make way for the next new products.
Apple may release new MacBook models with M1X processors in the third quarter of next year, so they’ll need to adjust their inventory accordingly.
In addition to the reason for making way for new products, Ming-Chi Kuo also pointed out that other PC manufacturers will face the same predicament as Apple, having to cut orders due to not only a shortage of components but also a decline in consumer purchasing demand (due to inflation).
According to the previous statement, Apple will launch 14-inch and 16-inch versions of the MacBook Pro, which will also be the first devices in the series to feature the M1X chip. The MacBook Pro is consistent with the M1 and will be manufactured using TSMC’s 5nm process, but the specifications have been upgraded to support more lightning channels, CPU cores, GPU cores, etc.
