Mac Studio M3 Ultra — 3+ Month Wait With No ETA
Specs: Apple Mac Studio M3 Ultra, 28-core CPU, 96 GB RAM, 2 TB storage.
I’m based in the EU and ordered a Mac Studio from my local authorised Apple retailer on May 9th. There’s no official Apple Store in my country, so I ordered through the retailer.
When I placed the order, I was told the expected delivery time would be around 3–4 weeks. After that period passed, I was told the delay was due to RAM shortages and that Apple apparently “does not provide an ETA.”
It has now been more than 3 months, and I still haven’t received any meaningful update from either the retailer or Apple. I don’t even have an estimated delivery date at this point.
I understand that supply shortages can happen, especially with custom configurations, but waiting more than three months with zero ETA or clear information is getting pretty frustrating. At this point, I’m starting to wonder whether I’m being given the runaround.
Has anyone else in the EU ordered a similar Mac Studio configuration around May and experienced the same thing? If so, how long did you end up waiting, and did you eventually get any kind of ETA?
