Apparently the new tip hovers in mid air too.

It is an illusion caused by the glass on the table top. You can tell from the reflections that there is glass over the woodgrain.

Delay in supply can be caused by 3 factors:  higher demand than anticipated, a shortage of components and production problems.  Or it could be a combination of the 3.  Because the first 2 points can be addressed in a few weeks time, at least a part of the delay must be due to production problems. 

If they miss the forecast for demand, I don't think they can recover in a few weeks. If they could, they would have been able to recover in a few weeks at every launch. It takes time for the component suppliers to start cranking out more parts and the assemblers to put more together. Bringing new manufacturing lines online takes time. Didn't the 6 and 6Plus take almost a whole quarter to come into balance? They probably thought this would do better than the 5C, but were surprised by just how much better it did.

Why ding Cook on Logistics and Operations when what he really lacked was a Crystal Ball to know exactly how successful the SE would be? Now that they are getting to know more of what they need, I'm sure that logistics and operations knowledge is helping them close the gap faster than most people would. But what are you going to do when you get the mother of all 4in backlogs.

Sounds more like Cook should be praised for pursuing the SE in general.

The article incorrectly states '2009 or later' iMacs and MacBooks. It's actually 'Late 2009 or newer' iMacs and MacBooks that are required.

i have an 'Early 2009' white MacBook and a 'Mid 2009' 20" aluminium iMac and neither of these make the grade - El Cap is the end of the road for these two.... 

2009 and later means the same thing as 2009 and newer. Later doesn't mean older, it means they were released later in time.

Bummer.  My 2007 iMac is getting left out in the cold.  I guess I'll just have to switch to Windoze.

So the first thing that crosses your mind when your computer has been supported for 9 years and will no longer be supported is to move to Windows? Thanks for the laugh. Please stop by in another 9 years and let us know how that went.
