It’s important to note that this only affects the base storage options of 256GB on the Mac mini and 512GB on the MacBook Pro, so those who specified their machines with more storage won’t be affected by this change.
When asked about Apple’s release of the M2 MacBook Air and M2 13-inch MacBook Pro last year, the company said that “while benchmarks with 256GB SSDs may show differences compared to previous generations, the M2’s performance is more geared toward real-world operations. quickly.”
