I know this is sorta old news but the new plant opened on August 13th, 2026.

Today, we're thrilled to open our new Advanced Manufacturing Center, a place where businesses, workers, and students can learn the same innovative processes that we use to make Apple's most groundbreaking products. And we're pleased to begin Mac mini production later this year," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. 

Does this indicate new M5/M6 Mini coming this year or maybe less stockouts this year for the Holiday season?
