Apple’s M4 Mac mini slips into shortage ahead of anticipated refresh
Apple’s M4 Mac mini lineup, including the $599 base model, is becoming harder to buy as stock shows “currently unavailable” and most configurations incur weeks-to-months wait times. Analysts credit looming hardware refreshes and rising RAM/storage demand driven by AI workloads, which is keeping desktop stock tight even as higher-end MacBooks stay more readily available. Apple is expected to refresh the line later this year, but exact timing and normalization of supply remain unclear.
