Apple Opens Preorders for Refreshed Mac Mini and Mac Studio
Apple has opened preorders for its latest desktop lineup, introducing the M6 and M5 Ultra chips to the Mac Mini and Mac Studio. With shipping slated to begin September 22, 2026, the refresh marks a significant performance shift for the compact Mac Mini, which now starts at $899.
The updated Mac Mini sees a $300 price increase over its M4-equipped predecessor. Beyond the new M6 processor, the entry-level model now integrates 2.5Gb Ethernet, Bluetooth 6, and Wi-Fi 7. Those seeking more power can opt for an M5 Pro configuration, which starts at $1,699.
Meanwhile, the Mac Studio maintains its $2,499 entry price for the M5 Max variant, which includes 36GB of unified memory and 512GB of storage. At the high end, the M5 Ultra model—equipped with 96GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD—starts at $5,499. While base configurations ship in late September, Apple notes that specialized versions featuring 512GB of RAM will not reach customers until late October.
