Apple launched its new M6 Mac mini and M5 Ultra Mac Studio on September 22, 2026, featuring significant performance upgrades for local AI workloads but facing criticism over substantial price increases. The M6 Mac mini starts at $899, a $300 jump from the previous generation, while the top-tier Mac Studio costs $12,299.

Apple’s new Mac mini models featuring the M6 and M5 Pro chips have reverted to soldered NAND storage, eliminating the removable SSD option available in the previous M4 generation. This change prevents users from installing aftermarket storage upgrades, a practice that was possible with the M4 model. Additionally, the 256GB configurations now use a single NAND chip rather than a pair, resulting in significantly slower read and write speeds compared to 512GB or larger models. While the Mac Studio retains replaceable SSD modules, the Mac mini’s storage is now permanently fixed at purchase, mirroring the design of earlier M1 and M2 models.
