Apple's entire Mac mini lineup just vanished worldwide — not backordered, completely gone — and some remaining Mac Studio models won't ship until August with delivery times hitting 18 weeks. The $599 base model that was perfect for running AI disappeared along with every 256GB configuration, while Apple simultaneously discontinued the 512GB RAM Mac Studio entirely and hiked prices 25% before pulling it. The company's given zero explanation, but here's the wild part: the Mac mini became so popular with AI developers that the AI boom causing the memory shortage is the same thing that created unstoppable demand for the machines that now can't be built.
