The Mac mini just became infrastructure

Apple says Mac mini and Mac Studio supply will stay tight for months, pointing to strong demand tied to agentic AI use cases.

Perplexity and other agent projects are increasingly recommending Mac mini as a 24/7 host for persistent AI agents.

The shift turns a consumer Mac into infrastructure for developer and enterprise AI workflows.

That could boost Apple hardware demand while shaping how always-on agents are deployed across the ecosystem.
