During today’s earnings call for the second fiscal quarter of 2026, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the Mac mini and Mac Studio could be hard to get for months to come.<\/p>\n

“We think, looking forward, that the \u200cMac mini\u200c and \u200cMac Studio\u200c may take several months to reach supply demand balance,” Cook said.<\/p>\n

Apple underestimated demand for the \u200cMac mini\u200c and the \u200cMac Studio\u200c. “Both of these are amazing platforms for AI and agentic tools and the customer recognition of that is happening faster than what we had predicted, and so we saw higher than expected demand,” Cook said.<\/p>\n

Shipping delays for the \u200cMac mini\u200c and the \u200cMac Studio\u200c have been increasing over the last few months, and the waits for some models stretch into months. Apple stopped selling the \u200cMac Studio\u200c with 512GB RAM entirely, and it stopped accepting orders for some models with higher amounts of RAM. As of last week, the base \u200cMac mini\u200c was listed as “Currently Unavailable” from Apple’s online store because it is out of stock.<\/p>\n
