FAQ
Will Apple launch Mac mini at WWDC June?
Not confirmed. Macworld lists June 2026 as possible while warning H2 volume if DRAM persists.
Why is 10–12 weeks showing on 32GB BTO?
Trackers tie it to global DRAM shortage plus AI demand for Mac mini as a compact server.
What happened to the $599 Mac mini?
Apple removed the 256GB SKU; effective entry is $799 for 512GB M4—signal for M5 floor pricing.
Buy M4 now or wait for M5?
Buy/rent now if work is blocked; wait past WWDC only if queues are acceptable.
Does cloud Mac rental replace ownership?
It replaces calendar weeks while BTO slips—not every offline workflow.
