Apple is upgrading some backordered M4 Mac mini purchases to the newly announced M6 and M5 Pro models at no extra cost, according to 9to5Mac.

As spotted by MacRumors, Apple has contacted some customers who ordered an M4 Mac mini before the new models were announced. The M4 Mac mini had been backordered in several configurations for a while, leaving some buyers waiting while newer hardware was introduced.

One Reddit user reported that Apple upgraded their M4 Pro order to an M5 Pro. The order had been placed about a week and a half earlier but had not shipped. Based on current pricing, the user said they are essentially saving $300 compared with the cost of the equivalent M5 Pro model.

The upgrade policy appears to reflect production availability: Apple is reportedly having an easier time making the M6 and M5 Pro versions of the Mac mini than the M4 models. 9to5Mac asked readers who have been contacted by Apple about a Mac mini upgrade to share their experience.
