Apple Faces Extended Mac Mini and Mac Studio Shortages Amid Rising Demand

Apple CEO Tim Cook has indicated that shortages of Mac mini and Mac Studio devices may persist for several months. Some upgraded Mac mini orders are currently showing wait times of 16 to 18 weeks. According to NS3.AI, Mac revenue increased by 6% year over year, reaching $8.4 billion in the quarter. The rapid adoption of OpenClaw for local AI agents has driven developers to opt for high-memory Apple Silicon systems, contributing to the demand.
