I checked a moment ago, and M1 MacBook Air delivery timelines for non-English keyboards haven't changed from where they were last week. I ordered one to see if it gets delayed. I think those would be the first to get impacted. It'd be good to get some clarity from Apple before taking this delay as an established fact. Nikkei overhyped (IMO) the impact to Apple's supply chain in its coverage of iPhone inventory last year, at the very beginning of the pandemic.

Did you order one just to see if it gets delayed?

  Yes.

    Now, could you please check real quick, whether Ferrari SF90 is affected by the chip shortage.

      Depends, does Ferrari have a 14 day return policy?

from the article: “Overall, the component shortage remains a supply chain issue for Apple and has not yet had an impact on product availability for consumers, Nikkei has learned.”

  Last time around, Apple started limiting the number of iPhones that a customer could add to cart, and also centralized its logistics by closing stores. They're unlikely to acknowledge delays proactively and will probably try to avoid making them visible.

1. Nikkei never had any good track record regarding general supply source, especially with TSMC. ( apart from those coming from Japan ). 2. The so called delay currently running in rumour mill were about "new" MacBook and iPad. aka those running on new 5nm M1 variant silicon. The delay is mostly due to the fact iPhone is selling better and all Apple's 5nm capacity is prioritising to iPhone. Mac and iPad can wait. 3. Somehow those same rumours got passed around enough to become current MacBook and iPad got production delayed.
