While Apple had recently unveiled its latest generation of MacBook Pro and AirPods, it had planned on launching the new products in India today (26th October 2021). However, it seems that the company faced certain issues that caused it to delay the arrival of the new gadgets.
The new products include the 14 inch and 16 inch versions of the 2021 MacBook Pro that feature the latest M1 Max and M1 Pro chipsets. Alongside the laptops, the Cupertino based giant had also announced its third generation of AirPods TWS earbuds earlier this month. Now, the two products were set to launch on October 26, but the company has shifted availability to a new date of October 29.
The new launch date was spotted on an updated listing on Apple’s official Indian website. Unfortunately, the iPhone maker has yet to reveal the reason for the delay, so we can assume that it was some unforeseen issue prior to the launch. On the other hand, the new MacBook Pro and AirPods 3 are still on schedule to launch on 26th October 2021 in the US market.
For those unaware, the 2021 MacBook Pro 14 inch variant starts in India for a price of 1,94,900 INR (roughly 2,600 US Dollars) while the 16 inch model costs a 2,39,900 INR (roughly 3,200 US Dollars). In comparison, the 14 inch model in the US costs just 1,999 US Dollars. Similarly, the third generation of AirPods is available in India for 18,500 INR (roughly 250 US Dollars) while its US pricing is 179 US Dollars.
