Mac Pro units’ delivery estimates slip into March, coronavirus outbreak thought to play role in delays

If you ordered a 2019 Mac Pro, you may have to wait a little while for it to arrive.

It’s been noted that many custom iMac, iMac Pro, and MacBook Pro configurations are facing longer-than-usual delivery times via Apple’s online store in the United States.

While the reason for the delays is as-yet unconfirmed, it’s thought that it could be related to the coronavirus outbreak in the Wuhan region that’s forced several Apple suppliers to close their factories. Although some factories are beginning to resume operations, initial production appears to be limited. 

These delays have apparently extended to the new Mac Pro. In the case of a number of European customers, the base model Mac Pro’s estimated delivery date has slipped to March 10 given that units for this region are assembled in China.

The new Mac Pro also has a February 24-26 delivery estimate in the United States, despite being assembled in Texas, possibly because some components are still sourced from temporarily-closed suppliers in China. 

If you’ve seen your Mac Pro order’s estimated delivery date slip, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
