Apple quietly axes 128GB Mac Studio amid supply constraints and local AI frenzy — highest memory capacity reduced to 96GB, two months after discontinuation of 512GB model

Apple has quietly removed the option for a 128GB memory capacity in the Mac Studio due to supply constraints and increased demand for AI applications. The highest memory capacity now stands at 96GB, down from the initial 512GB offering. This reduction comes after the discontinuation of the 512GB model two months ago. The global chip shortage has also impacted the availability of Mac Mini models, with the maximum memory capacity now capped at 48GB. Despite increased prices and reduced memory options, delivery times for these devices remain lengthy, with some configurations taking up to 10 weeks to ship.
