TL;DR · WeSearch summary

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has acquired a significant number of Apple's M3 Ultra Mac Studios, which are currently unavailable for regular consumers due to RAM shortages. This acquisition allows AWS to offer a cloud configuration with 256GB of unified memory, a feature not available on Apple's consumer website. The demand for these devices has surged, particularly among AI developers, further constraining supply for everyday buyers.

Key facts

▪AWS has secured a large number of Apple's Mac Studio computers, which are not available for regular consumers.
▪Apple customers face a wait of over two months for the Mac Studio due to high demand and RAM shortages.
▪AWS's cloud offering includes a unique M3 Ultra configuration with 256GB of memory, not available to the general public.
