He said both of these Macs are &#8220;amazing platforms for AI and agentic tools,&#8221; resulting in higher-than-expected demand.<\/p>\n<p>On the supply side, there continues to be a global memory chip shortage driven by companies building out AI server facilities. Cook said Apple is expecting &#8220;significantly higher memory costs&#8221; in the current quarter, and tight RAM availability is likely contributing to the removal of various Mac mini and Mac Studio configurations.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading--1cooZo6n heading--h3--23mHEuMI inline--Nnb-B96C\">Popular Stories<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"heading--1cooZo6n heading--h4--3n5gZUlc title--3FvxcRdi\">iOS 27 Will Add These New Features to Your iPhone<\/h3>\n<p>Apple is expected to unveil iOS 27 during its WWDC 2026 keynote on June 8, and there are already many rumored features and changes for iPhones.<br \/>\nThe first developer beta of iOS 27 will likely be available immediately following the keynote, and a public beta typically follows in July.
