12-inch MacBook Air with Retina Display may be delayed until 2015
The rumoured 12-inch MacBook Air with Retina Display won't arrive until late 2014, at the earliest, according to reports on Friday.
According to Taiwan's Economic Daily,
the higher-resolution option was scheduled to go on sale in Q3 of this
year, but supply chain shortages mean production has been pushed back.
The report says a shortage of Intel's new Broadwell chips is to blame for holding up the process.
The 12-inch MacBook Air,
which has been rumoured for well over a year now, is rumoured to have a
refined design, new trackpad, a new battery layout as well as that
hyped Retina Display.
On schedule
In better news for those seeking to add a MacBook Air
to their gadget arsenal in the somewhat nearer future, the 2014
non-Retina 11-inch and 13-inch models are reportedly still on schedule.
Those devices will arrive in the third quarter, perhaps around the time of the iPhone 6 launch, according to reports.
Are you relying on Retina? Or will an updated standard model do? Let me know your thoughts below.
