    One variant of the new mini is powered by Apple’s 2-nanometer M6 chip, which the company said delivers up to four times faster AI performance and double the graphics and storage speeds compared with the previous M4-powered model.

  3. Mac Studio computers with an M5 Max chip start at $2,499 — the same as before — and a Mac Studio with the M5 Ultra starts at $5,499. Apple previously charged at least $5,299 for a Mac Studio with an Ultra chip, and the past model was equipped with an M3 Ultra chip, a generation behind. The new computers go on presale on Tuesday and will ship on Sept. 22.
