The AirPods Max, Apple’s highly sought-after over-ear headphones, are currently facing supply constraints. If you are looking to get your hands on a pair of the company’s flagship noise-cancelling headphones, you might just have to wait. According to the Apple website, all five color variants of the AirPods Max are back-ordered until early to mid-February. Placing an order through the online Apple store as of now will result in an estimated delivery time of mid-February as well. Availability at physical stores is also limited at this time, even in major cities.

It is unclear why the shipping times for the AirPods Max have suddenly been pushed back by as much as three weeks. After a brief period of supply constraints following their initial release, the AirPods Max have been widely available from both Apple and third-party retailers without any hassles.

Some speculate that this supply constraint could be an indication of a new version of the AirPods Max being released in the near future. Although this might be merely a far-fetched speculation, Ming-Chi Kuo, a reputable Apple Analyst, recently reported that a second-generation version of the AirPods Max is in development, but it is not expected to be released until 2024. Another possibility is that Apple is planning to release new color options for the AirPods Max, which might explain the current supply constraint. The company might just unveil some seasonal color variants for the headphones, similar to what Apple did with the Apple Watch bands. 

In the meantime, those looking to purchase the AirPods Max can find them at lower prices and with faster shipping through Amazon. However, it is important to note that this could be a temporary supply chain issue that Apple will resolve soon, so patience might just work out in your favor.
