TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Apple has pulled the base 16GB/256GB M4 Mac Mini from its online store.
Several higher-memory Mac Mini and Mac Studio configurations are also unavailable or delayed for weeks.
The issue appears tied to tight RAM supply, likely driven by rising AI-related memory demand.
The shortage is pushing up entry prices and could shape Apple’s next desktop refresh, including possible M5 updates.
