Overview
- Amazon has listed small preorder price cuts of roughly $20–$50 on multiple M6 Mac mini and M5 Mac Studio SKUs, with several M6 mini configurations shown below Apple’s listed retail price.
- Examples include M6 Mac mini 16GB/256GB at $880 (regularly $899), 16GB/512GB at $1,070 (regularly $1,099), and an M5 Max Mac Studio 36GB/512GB around $2,450 (regularly $2,499).
- Most M6 mini models are discounted while the 24GB M6 Mac mini SKU is still listed at full price, so savings depend on the exact configuration a buyer chooses.
- Apple has set delivery to begin on Sept. 22 and has warned that some high‑memory Mac Studio configurations will ship later, so buyers must weigh modest savings against delayed delivery and pending independent performance tests.
- The early promotions follow Labor Day retail activity and suggest sellers want to spur preorders now while customers wait for independent benchmarks that will verify Apple’s M6 2nm and M5 multi‑die performance claims.
