Apple Mac mini sees an effective price hike from $599 to $799

Apple removed the $599 256GB Mac mini from its site, raising the entry price to $799 for the 512GB model.

In Korea, the lowest listed Mac mini option also moved up, reflecting the same pricing shift.

Apple said demand tied to AI workloads is outpacing supply, tightening availability for the compact desktop.

The change makes it more expensive to buy into Apple’s Mac mini line and signals broader AI-driven pressure on hardware supply.
