At £30K, I was thinking of maybe getting 23x M6 Mac minis 32GB instead. 😂

One 512GB Mac Studio, or twenty-three 32GB M6 Mac minis? Oh, the dilemma. lol.

£30,000+ for the Mac Studio. I‘m not sure what I’m most gobsmacked by - that Apple expect people to pay that kind of money, or that some people will pay that kind of money. Still, it’ll be good for another round of blocking YouTube influencers who are more intent on inflating their egos than creating engaging content. Every cloud …

Two days later, and it’s pushed back by another day. I’m not going to receive this am I? Any other company would realise this and send a replacement, given they’re going to miss the delivery date by about a week, or forever. Not @AmazonUK, oh no. All they want is to trap you in a “contact us and we’ll do nothing” loop. The most laughable thing is that their website said “spend another £10 for free same day delivery”, so I added some non-essentials on there. The non-essentials arrived same day, but not the item I actually wanted. You couldn’t make it up if you were writing a comedy sketch show.

So I order something from @AmazonUK which says it’ll be delivered today (15th), so I check the app. Now it says this: come back in 5 days. If you couldn’t deliver on the same day, you shouldn’t say you can. No wonder people are starting to go off Amazon. Fortunately for me this is definitely not an important item. I don’t buy anything worth anything from Amazon these days. But if they offer same day, then they should deliver same day. Otherwise it’s just yet another scam to get your money and stop you going elsewhere.

Still not understanding why @Apple wants me to pay more to add my new device to my existing AppleCare One than to just have separate AppleCare. What’s the point of AppleCare One if it costs more to add additional devices to it?

On my M6 Mac mini, I see this. I don't see that on my M4 Max Mac Studio. Is it an M6 thing?

Why on Earth does it cost more to add a device to my Apple Care One plan than to keep it separate? @Apple is barmy.

Loving the way @gmktecdotcom list a £5,299 machine as the top of their “best sellers”. Given how few they’ve probably sold at that price, to make it a “best seller” they must have sold even less, or none at all, of their more affordable products. Is the phrase “best seller” no more than a marketing clickbait phrase in 2026?

So I can add it to AppleCare One for £4.99, or keep it off AppleCare One for £3.99. So the incentive for AppleCare One is what, @Apple? To pay more?
