Low inventory at Apple stores hints at a slew of upcoming new devices, iPhone 17e included

A new report from Mark Gurman claims that Apple’s inventory of some devices is running low. More specifically, people looking to buy certain custom MacBook Pro configurations, Apple TV, iPad Air and iPhone 16e are facing delays or trouble finding units at Apple’s physical stores.

This, in turn, could mean one thing in Apple’s world – an upgrade is coming. This corroborates Mark Gurman’s earlier reports that the company is gearing up to announce a new iPhone 17e and upgrade the iPad Air.

Of course, low inventory doesn’t always mean that, but the iPhone 16e was launched exactly a year ago, and it’s due for an upgrade. The same goes for the iPad Air.

Perhaps the MacBook Pro shortage of some configurations and the limited availability of Apple TV hardware mean something else, like the RAM shortage that all markets are currently experiencing.
