Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Monday, April 6th, 2026. I'm your host, Chance Miller. We are sponsored this week by Backblaze.

Leading off today, Apple typically doesn't sell you a product four to five months before it can deliver that product, but there's nothing typical about the ongoing global

memory shortage. AI servers need a lot of RAM, and that's now seriously affecting Apple's

top-end Mac inventory. If you head to Apple's website and configure a Mac Studio with the

M4 Max chip, you can see just how dramatically this RAM

shortage is affecting Apple. The base model configuration with 36 gigabytes of RAM will be delivered

within two to three weeks. That's longer than Apple would certainly like a delivery to take,

but it's not completely unreasonable.

If you choose the 48 gigabyte configuration, you're looking at delivery within 10 to 12 weeks,

so sometime in July.

Finally, the 128-gabyte option with the M4 Max chip is currently quoting delivery times

of 4 to 5 months, so that's sometime in August to early September.

Meanwhile, if you choose the even higher-end M3 Ultra option,

the 96-gabyte configuration is quoting the end of April,

while the 256-gabyte option is also quoting in September.

And you might remember that Apple also at one point offered a 512-gabyte RAM configuration for the M3 Ultramac Studio, but it removed that

configuration option a couple of weeks ago, presumably due to this ongoing RAM shortage, as well

as increasing RAM cost.

Next up today, the information reports that Apple has pulled the popular Vibe coding app anything from the App Store.

The company is citing its self-containment rules from the App Store guidelines.

We talked last month about Apple blocking updates to vibe coding apps such as Replite and

vibe code, claiming that they violated longstanding App Store rules that say an app can't run code
