Apple launched a new Mac mini yesterday with M6 and M5 Pro chips, and reports online show that recent, backordered M4 purchases are being upgraded for free to the new model.
As a result, users who purchased an M4 model but were still awaiting delivery might have been disappointed by the announcement of a new model. Had a Mac mini on backorder from Apple with an October 26 delivery date. And based on the new pricing, they’re essentially saving $300 that the equivalent M5 Pro model would have cost.

As spotted by MacRumors , Apple has started contacting some customers who recently ordered an M4 Mac mini before the M6 and M5 models were announced. The Mac mini has been backordered in several configurations for a while. But Apple has good news: it’s upgrading those M4 orders to M6 or M5 Pro models instead. So I’m getting the newer Mac mini early, at a discount. I’ll take it. 🎉 They had placed the order a week and a half ago, but it hadn’t shipped. Clearly Apple is having an easier time making M6 and M5 Pro versions of the Mac mini than it is M4 models. Have you been contacted by Apple about a Mac mini upgrade?
Opened my email today to find they upgraded my order to the new model, moved delivery up to September, and honored my original price.
