Apple Mac Shipments Delayed by DRAM Shortage; Joins Project Glasswing
Mac shipments are facing delays due to an intensifying industry-wide DRAM shortage, threatening Apple’s hardware delivery timelines. Apple has partnered in Anthropic’s Project Glasswing cybersecurity initiative alongside Amazon and Cisco to bolster its operating system security.
1. Mac Shipping Delays Due to DRAM Shortage
Apple has extended estimated delivery times for new Mac orders as DRAM supply constraints intensify across the industry, leading to longer lead times for MacBook Pro and iMac models. The shortage reflects elevated demand for memory components and tight allocations by suppliers, which could weigh on Apple’s hardware revenue in the near term.
2. Apple Partners in Anthropic’s Project Glasswing
Apple has joined Anthropic, Amazon, and Cisco in Project Glasswing to secure critical operating systems and browsers using advanced AI-driven vulnerability detection. The initiative focuses on identifying high-severity flaws exposed by Anthropic’s Mythos model and establishing guardrails to enhance system resilience.
