""If you look forward to June, the majority of our supply constraints will be on several Mac models," Cook said. "We think looking forward that the Mac Mini and the Mac Studio may take several months to reach supply-demand balance.""
"Cook noted that both devices saw "higher-than-expected demand" as well, with many people buying up the device to use with AI agents like OpenClaw."
"The global memory shortage poses challenges for Apple as well, as Cook said that the company expects "significantly higher memory costs" going forward, which could have an "increasing impact" on Apple's business."
"Many device makers are either raising the prices of their products or have stopped selling certain models completely, as seen with Apple's halted sales of its Mac Studio with 512GB of RAM in March."
Apple has discontinued the $599 Mac Mini option, now starting at $799 with 512GB storage. CEO Tim Cook indicated that a chip shortage will affect Mac products, particularly the Mac Mini and Mac Studio, which are experiencing high demand. The global memory shortage is also impacting Apple, leading to higher memory costs. As a result, many device makers are raising prices or halting sales of certain models, including the Mac Studio and new MacBook models.
