Apple has increased the starting price of its Mac mini desktop to US$799 from US$599. The change is due to inventory shortages driven by high demand for artificial intelligence applications. The entry-level configuration, which included an M4 processor and 256 gigabytes of storage, has been discontinued. The Mac mini now starts with the same chip but with 512 gigabytes of storage. Apple CEO Tim Cook stated that the shortages are tied to the availability of advanced processors and higher-than-expected demand for Mac minis and Mac Studios to run AI applications. Cook expects it may take several months to reach supply-demand balance for these products.
