Apple It will ship some six to seven million units of the new MacBook Air devices to its official retailers in the second half of 2022, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has estimated, including a new color option.
Kuo has advanced through your twitter profile what the company’s next steps will be in relation to its plans to ship laptops and has indicated that these forecasts will be fulfilled as long as the capacity of component manufacturer Quanta “may return to the pre-shutdown level before the third quarter of 2022.”
