Apple’s WWDC 2020 keynote hosted a boatload of announcements, but we believe that one of the most important ones was the transition from Intel to its A-series silicon. To help developers get started, an A12Z Bionic-powered Mac mini being sold for $500 would serve their purpose when it comes to testing apps, but this purchase should also remind them that they should be extra careful with the machine and here’s why.

An internal memo obtained by MacRumors states that the Mac mini fueled by the A12Z Bionic is not eligible for repair at any Apple Genius Bar or authorized service provider. Should something happen to it, developers will need to contact Apple support and request for a replacement, meaning they’ll have to pay an additional $500 to get one of these ‘developer transition kits’.
