Low inventories of AirPorts Express – and iMacs – may indicate that new generations are coming

Apple took advantage of WWDC 2013 and updated the AirPorts Extreme and Time Capsule stations, incorporating the new IEEE 802.11ac standard. However, the AirPort Express in this story.

O AppleInsider he noted today that in the United States, some Apple Retail Stores and Best Buy stores have very low accessory stocks. It is true that this does not mean much about Apple's online stores, both Brazilian and American, with normal delivery times for the product.

Problems happen, such as supplying some parts for the assembly of the device, loading not delivered for some reason, among many other things.

It is a fact that the Apple desktop will receive an update, as well as the Mac mini and MacBook Pro all need to receive the new processors from Intel and the standard IEEE 802.11ac, already present in MacBooks Air. It remains to be seen exactly when this happens, since Apple left * all * the news for the second half of the year.
