Overview
- Apple’s U.S. online store, which on Saturday labeled several desktop builds as “Currently Unavailable,” stopped taking orders for select Mac mini and Mac Studio configurations.
- The unavailable options include Mac mini models upgraded to 32GB or 64GB of unified memory and Mac Studio models with 128GB or 256GB, which are the highest RAM tiers for these lines.
- Other configurations remain on sale yet show long waits, with many delivery estimates stretching from about one month to as much as three months depending on the build.
- Reporters link the squeeze to a global DRAM shortage tied to AI server demand, while some outlets frame the stock pullback as possible positioning for M5 desktop announcements, which remains speculative.
- Buyers who need these systems now may still find units at Apple retail stores or independent sellers, and investors will watch Apple’s April 30 earnings call and June’s WWDC for clarity on supply and any desktop roadmap updates.
