Several Mac mini and Mac Studio configurations are “currently unavailable” from Apple. No delivery estimate. No order option.
The affected models include the Mac mini with 32GB or 64GB of RAM and the Mac Studio with 128GB or 256GB. Apple had already removed the 512GB M3 Ultra Mac Studio a few weeks prior.
Two things are probably driving this. Mark Gurman has Apple’s 2026 Mac roadmap including M5 and M5 Pro Mac mini models and M5 Max and M5 Ultra Mac Studio refreshes. I expected those to get released at WWDC in June, but that seems a ways off for them to stop selling it in April.
There’s also the global DRAM shortage, driven by AI demand. Both explanations are credible, and they’re not mutually exclusive.
My money was on the M5 refresh being the bigger factor. Maybe that was partially wish-casting because I’m thinking I’m about due to update my M2 Mac Studio. But Mark Gurman’s recent reporting says the Mac Studio may be pushed to October. The longer we wait, the more likely I expect Apple to raise its memory prices.
