Apple removes “high-memory configurations” from some Macs amid global memory shortages; Mac Studio limited to a maximum of 96GB

Apple has trimmed high-memory configuration options for Mac Studio and Mac mini in some markets, including Japan.

The change lowers maximum supported memory tiers and removes certain top-end choices as a global RAM shortage tightens supply.

The move highlights how surging demand for RAM, especially from AI servers, is reaching consumer devices and limiting premium Mac customization.

It may also point to further cost and availability pressure for Apple hardware if the memory crunch continues.
