The 96W USB Type C power adapter that is designed for the 16 inch Apple MacBook Pro is suffering from long delivery times, with shipping estimates showing a sizeable 2 to 3 months of time.
The long shipping estimate was spotted by MacRumors on the Cupterino based giant’s official online store in the US. Notably, the 2 to 3 month long shipping period was also reflected on the brand’s various other online stores in multiple countries. As of right now, the adapter is also listed as unavailable for in store pickup at most of the Apple retail stores across the globe. Initially, the 2 to 3 month long shipping delay first appeared in certain regions like Japan.
But now, the issue has extended to include more countries as well. The news also arrives as the brand is rumored to be gearing up for the launch of the redesigned 14 inch and 16 inch MacBook Pro models later this year. In other words, the true reason for the shipping delay for the 96W MacBook Pro charger is unknown at the moment. The 96W charger was usually sold with the 16 inch MacBook Pro since the notebook initially launched back in 2019. Although, it is also available separately as well.
Notably, the company’s smaller 20W, 30W, and 61W power adapters are not facing a similar issue currently in the US. But a source from one of the Apple Authorized Reseller has informer MacRumors that the distributor has no stock of the 96W charger and are facing significant supply issues across multiple channels.
