Is there an ETA already? I mean something more detailed other than "Q4"? And info on whether there are any delays or so which might push delivery past December?

All components are already on order, but the IC situation is getting ridiculous. We’ve had parts get delayed for months and have to scramble to buy stock on secondary markets (where we get price gouged 10x).

Things are very fluid and even more so as we increase our production capacity. We were late by about a month for the first two batches so don’t want to put in unrealistic expectations this round. With that being said we *should* be able to start shipping in November.

Even Apple is getting affected by this…the fact that we can produce anything with less than a year leadtime at this point is a miracle (and lots of fucking work).
Damn, mad respect that in this situation you're even considering November shipping a possibility, fine work guys!
I know how bad it is, for virtually any component, as you say even Apple etc.
Very hyped that Apollo is still scheduled for Q4 so far, and looking forward to updates when there's good or bad news Smiley
