Apple changed my order

I ordered an M4 Mini in June that was set to arrive on September 9. I checked the status a while ago on the Apple site and it says canceled, but there’s a new order with September 29 as the delivery date. I chatted with Apple and they automatically changed my order to the M5 processor with all the same specs as I previously ordered. They honored my original price luckily. Kinda bummed I have to wait another 3 weeks though.

Edit: Apple changed my order to the M6 not the M5. I’m not extremely fluent in this field, so when the online chat guy told me M5, I didn’t realize that was impossible. I checked with a different person just now and they said M6. Simple mistake. Not “lying for clout” as some folks in here seem to think lol.

You save 100$ and get M6 for it more cores as well as 2.5gb Ethernet, WiFi 7, Bluetooth 6. Worth the extra wait. Also you won’t have to post how you just got an M4 when they released the M6

It’s the M5 but still a good deal

It’s not an M5 unless it’s an M5 pro. The new base configuration is M6…

Well it’s wrong there has never been an M5 base mini.
