    Apple also refreshed its Mac Studio desktop lineup, introducing versions powered by its M5 Max and new M5 Ultra chips.

  2. 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.

    The new mini, unveiled alongside a beefed-up Mac Studio, starts at $899 and comes with either Apple’s new M6 chip or the M5 Pro. It is $100 more expensive than its predecessor.

  3. The Mac Mini can now be configured with two new chips, the M6 and M5 Pro. It's the first Apple computer with an M6-generation chip, which is manufactured on a 2-nanometer process from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.
