Stock of MacBook Air in various stores is dwindling not because of high demand, but due to a global memory chip crisis. This crisis is caused by the increasing need for memory chips from artificial intelligence companies. As a result, the delivery time for MacBook Air has become longer, even until August 2026 for some configurations. Apple has taken steps such as finding new memory chip suppliers and raising product prices to address this crisis. Apple CEO Tim Cook called this memory chip crisis a rare event that he has never experienced in his more than 40 years of career.
