Apple is upgrading some Mac Mini customers who recently ordered a Mac mini with an M4 chip to a newer model equipped with an M6 chip, free of charge. The company informs customers via email: "Thank you for your recent Mac order. We know you're looking forward to receiving your purchase. As you may know, Apple recently announced the new Mac mini.
Since your order has yet to ship, we automatically upgraded you to the new Mac mini at no additional cost." The shift from the previous Mac mini starting at $799 to the new model's $899 price point in the U.S. effectively provides a $100 discount for those receiving the upgrade. Customer reactions vary: one social media user expressed delight at receiving the new Mac mini at no extra cost and a later delivery date, while a student complained that their delivery estimate was delayed due to the free upgrade, essential for their studies.
Apple unveiled the new Mac mini with M6 and M5 Pro chip options, alongside a Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chip options, during this week's launch event. Pre-orders for the new Macs are now open, with the launch set for Tuesday, September 22. The previous-generation Mac mini was released in November 2024.
