A Near Sell-Out at Apple: What’s Behind the Shortage?

According to insider and Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, stocks of the iPhone 16e in Apple stores are nearly exhausted. This might signal that the debut of the iPhone 17e is just around the corner. A similar situation occurs with the current iPad Air, which is also due for a replacement.

Employees at Apple retail stores report that iPhone 16e stocks are almost depleted, and the iPad Air is also experiencing shortages. I anticipate the arrival of new versions of both devices (iPhone 17e and iPad Air M4) in the coming weeks.

Apple faces challenges with Siri again. Transforming the assistant into a smarter tool and shifting to Google Gemini will take months. Recently, Gurman revealed that the iPhone 17e would feature MagSafe support, a more powerful platform, yet maintain a starting price of $600.

Regarding the new iPad Air, it is expected to switch to the SoC M4, making it nearly as powerful as Apple’s current entry-level laptops. Moreover, rumors suggest improvements in the display technology, potentially incorporating higher refresh rates for smoother performance and better integration with other Apple devices.
