It’s been a long slog, complete with a pandemic and global supply chain issues, but Apple is now reported to be catching up to demand for its 2021 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, complete with wait times in lower-end configurations substantially improving over the last month in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
The back log, which had customers facing delays of several weeks before they were estimated to receive either model notebook, has been cleared through, and customers can get their hands on either model in their baseline configurations in two weeks or less.
Estimated deliveries for both with the M1 Pro chip are now just five to seven days or up to at least two weeks at the time of writing. However, the supply improvement stops short with only the M1 Pro chip, as M1 Max configurations of both sizes remain limited, with estimates indicating orders won’t arrive until at least early April.
If you’ve found yourself in a position where you have a substantial wait for your 2021 14-inch or 16-inch MacBook Pro notebook, please let us know about your experience in the comments.

Ordered a top spec M1 Max 4tb on launch day in October… still waiting. Last expected delivery date was 18th Feb and on the 17th they changed it to 25th March… Not happy. It’s almost worth cancelling the order and waiting for the speed bump later in the year!
