Apple Just Killed the Best Computer It Ever Made

Apple’s new M6 Mac mini finally doubles the performance of the legendary M1, but a $300 price hike destroys the product’s core value proposition. Apple isn’t just upgrading specs; it’s intentionally abandoning the budget computing tier to force users into high-margin ecosystems.
