On its quarterly earnings call today, Apple CEO Tim Cook addressed the ongoing supply shortages for Apple’s pro desktop Macs. Many configurations of Mac mini and Mac Studio are completely out of stock at Apple Stores online.
Cook said customer interest in agentic AI use cases (like OpenClaw) is driving Mac mini and Mac Studio demand beyond what Apple predicted. Due to the ongoing industry constraints for advanced nodes and memory components, the company expects the supply shortages for these Macs to continue for the next several months.
