  • 256GB Mini removed from sale

    Entry level for the Mini has now jumped to -u799 (from -u599). I wonder why? Supply issues or trying to stem the AI demand for Apple Silicon?

    Does seem odd to do this ahead of a presumed upgrade to the M5 next month.

    In Switzerland the price stands at CHF 799 (Exchange Rate at CHF 1.05
    for 1 GBP).

    The mass storage went up from 256GB to 512GB in the base version. I
    guess the current demand for the Silicon platform from AI applications
    plays also a certain role for the elevated prices.
