New Mac Mini and Mac Studio Now Available for Same-Day Pickup at Apple Stores

Apple has released its latest Mac mini and Mac Studio models across 30 countries and regions, including the United States, allowing customers to pick up their orders on the same day at select Apple Store locations. To utilize this service, shoppers can add their desired product to their cart on Apple.com, continue through the checkout process, choose the "I'll pick it up" option, provide their ZIP code, select an available Apple Store location, and enter a pickup date.

The payment process is completed online, and customers may need to present a valid government-issued photo ID and the order number when picking up their device. However, it's important to note that same-day pickup isn't available for custom Mac configurations with upgraded specifications ordered through Apple's online store.

The new Mac mini starting at $899 (education customers can get it for $799) and Mac Studio beginning at $2,499 (with education customers receiving a discount to $2,299) have been introduced. The Mac mini with the M5 Pro chip launches at $1,699 (education customers can get it for $1,599), and the Mac Studio with the M5 Max chip starts at $2,499 (education customers can get it for $2,299).

The Mac Studio with the M5 Ultra chip is priced at $5,499 (education customers can get it for $5,099). Apple also offers an Upgrade program, allowing eligible U.S. customers to lease a new Mac with monthly payments and upgrade at the end of their lease term. For more details, visit the Apple website.
