Apple raises the Mac Mini’s starting price
Apple has increased the starting price of the Mac Mini to $799 after removing the $599 model with 256GB of storage from its online store. The change follows CEO Tim Cook's warning of supply constraints affecting several Mac models due to a global chip and memory shortage. Higher demand for devices like the Mac Mini and Mac Studio, especially for AI-related uses, has further strained supply.
