Although some elements of the supply chain may be getting back to normal, it looks like Apple is setting limits as to how many of its 2020 model iPad Pro, MacBook Air, entire range of iPhone models, and 2020 Mac mini can be snagged at once.
Apple has installed purchase limits of five units per customer for the updated MacBook Air and Mac mini, while the 2020 iPad Pro is limited to two 11-inch models and two 12.9-inch units per customer. There is also a limit of two iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11, iPhone XR, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus models per customer on its online storefronts in the United States and Canada, Europe, Asia, and several other regions.
Apple commonly places purchase limits on products in some Asian countries to combat the gray market, such as the AirPods Pro, but these expanded restrictions could be an effort to balance supply and demand amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Finally, while there’s currently no fine print reflecting these limits on Apple’s website outside of Asia, the quantity limits are in place during the checkout process.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
