Apple refreshes Mac mini and Mac Studio with M6 and M5 Ultra chips

Apple has introduced the M6 chip in a new Mac mini and the M5 Ultra chip in a refreshed Mac Studio, updating two of its desktop computers with faster processors and improved AI performance. The announcement matters because it gives Apple’s desktop lineup a major silicon refresh ahead of the next wave of Mac upgrades, while also signaling continued investment in higher-end creative and professional machines. Both models are available to preorder now and are scheduled to ship on September 22.
