Good news for those pondering the purchase of a MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Apple’s shipping times have decreased again. This time the shipping times have gone down to 2-4 days instead of the previous 5-7 days.

Even if you pick out a custom MacBook Pro with Retina Display with 16GB of RAM, the shipping times still says 2-4 days. It looks like supply has finally caught up with the arduous demand.

As you can see, his tweet originates from the “Tweetbot for Mac” client, and he take a jab at all of the speculation with his “going to the beach” announcement. I’m happy, because I’m a diehard Tweetbot user, and this means I can finally sync my tweets across all devices that I use day in and day out.
