"Apple has discontinued the 256GB configuration of the M4 Mac mini and made the 512GB model, which sells for $799, the new starting point. In effect, the Mac mini is $200 more expensive to buy in its base form than it was a day earlier."
"Tim Cook attributed shortages of both the Mac mini and the more powerful Mac Studio to demand that had outpaced internal forecasts, and tied that demand directly to AI workloads."
"Both machines, he said, are 'amazing platforms for AI and agentic tools, and the customer recognition of that is happening faster than what we had predicted.'"

Tim Cook stated that the demand for both the Mac mini and Mac Studio has exceeded internal forecasts, attributing this to their capabilities for AI workloads. The Mac mini has become a popular choice for developers and tinkerers, and the new pricing reflects the growing recognition of its value in the AI space.
