Apple's M6 Mac mini pre-orders launch with $500+ trade-in savings
Apple has opened pre-orders for the new M6 Mac mini, alongside an updated M5 Pro Mac mini and refreshed Mac Studio, with retailers offering over $500 off when trading in a mid-range M4 Mac mini. Separately, the AirTag 2 has hit a new all-time low of $20 each when bought in a 4-pack, and a 48GB M5 Pro MacBook Pro is discounted $400.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
These trade-in and launch-day discounts show Apple's retail partners moving quickly to clear out older M4 inventory as new silicon arrives, giving budget-conscious buyers a rare window to upgrade cheaply. The record-low AirTag 2 pricing also signals Apple accessories are being used as loss-leaders to drive holiday-season traffic.
