Low inventory at Apple stores hints at a slew of upcoming new devices, iPhone 17e included
"More specifically, people looking to buy certain custom MacBook Pro configurations, Apple TV, iPad Air and iPhone 16e are facing delays or trouble finding units at Apple's physical stores. This, in turn, could mean one thing in Apple's world - an upgrade is coming. This corroborates Mark Gurman's earlier reports that the company is gearing up to announce a new iPhone 17e and upgrade the iPad Air."
"Of course, low inventory doesn't always mean that, but the iPhone 16e was launched exactly a year ago, and it's due for an upgrade. The same goes for the iPad Air. Perhaps the MacBook Pro shortage of some configurations and the limited availability of Apple TV hardware mean something else, like the RAM shortage that all markets are currently experiencing."
Apple's inventory of several devices is running low, with customers encountering delays or difficulty finding units of some custom MacBook Pro configurations, Apple TV, iPad Air and iPhone 16e in physical stores. Low on-hand stock often precedes product refreshes, suggesting forthcoming upgrades for the iPhone 16e and iPad Air. The iPhone 16e reached retail a year ago and is due for an update. Alternative explanations include supply constraints such as global RAM shortages affecting specific MacBook Pro configurations and Apple TV availability. Limited store inventory could reflect either imminent product launches or broader component shortages.
