It’s often easiest and safest to secure launch day delivery by buying from Apple rather than a third party like Amazon. You can also build custom configurations that Amazon doesn’t sell. Amazon also isn’t selling the Mac Studio at all. Another perk is that Apple offers more ways to pay, including leasing with Apple Upgrade and financing with Apple Card. Apple also makes it super easy to trade in your current Mac or any Apple product and get credit towards your new purchase. As Justin over at 9to5Toys https://9to5toys.com/2026/08/25/new-m6-mac-mini-preorder-deals/ highlighted this morning, that’s a great way to save $500+ on a new M6 Mac mini.
