Apple Stops Selling Mac Mini With 256GB of Storage, Starting Price Rises to $799

Apple has discontinued the 256GB Mac mini configuration worldwide.

The M4 Mac mini now starts at 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage in the U.S. for $799.

The higher entry price reflects supply constraints from a broader memory chip shortage and strong AI hardware demand.

The shift shows how the RAM shortage is affecting availability and pricing across Apple’s Mac lineup.
