Base Mac Mini Sold Out From Apple Online Store
MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple’s base Mac mini with M4 chip, 256GB storage, and 16GB RAM is currently sold out and listed as “Currently Unavailable” on the Apple Online Store.
- Models with upgraded storage, M4 Pro chips, and configurations with 24GB RAM remain available, though some 32GB RAM or higher variants are out of stock.
- The shortage may be driven by high demand for running AI models locally rather than an imminent product refresh, as the Mac mini continues to be popular for AI use.
- Apple is facing global RAM supply shortages and increased memory prices, which have also affected availability of higher-tier Mac mini and Mac Studio models.
- M5 and M5 Pro Mac mini versions are planned for 2026, but their release might be delayed due to ongoing RAM supply challenges.
