Why Are the Mac Mini and Mac Studio Gradually Becoming Impossible to Buy?
Apple’s US online store shows all M4 Mac mini variants unavailable, with shipping estimates reaching 10-12 weeks for some configurations.
- The Apple Store marked the base $599 M4 Mac mini as "currently unavailable" this week, preventing customers from ordering the entry-level desktop model at all.
- Over the last few months, the Mac mini and Mac Studio have gradually become harder to buy as supply tightens across Apple's desktop lineup, with wait times now extending from five to 12 weeks.
- M4 Pro models with 24GB of RAM face delays of up to 12 weeks, while M4 Mac minis with 512GB of storage also require five to 12 weeks to arrive, depending on configuration.
- Third-Party retailers are not faring much better; Amazon only has select M4 Pro Mac minis in stock, though most MacBook Pros remain available within two or three weeks of ordering.
- Apple has not commented on the shortage or increased prices, yet CEO Tim Cook will step down in September, with hardware chief John Ternus set to replace him.
