During the fiscal Q2 2026 earnings call, Apple CEO Tim Cook stated that the Mac mini and Mac Studio are expected to be in short supply in the coming months, and it will take several months to achieve a balance between supply and demand. Apple underestimated the demand for these two products. As excellent platforms for AI and agent tools, they have been recognized by customers faster than expected. Over the past few months, shipping delays for these two products have intensified, with some models having wait times of up to several months. Apple has stopped selling or accepting orders for some models, and the base model Mac mini has sold out in the U.S. online store.
