They say that rectifying is wise, and that is what Apple just did today with the issue of the return of the dtk mac mini. The truth is that it was not fair what the company originally intended to do with the theme of the Apple Silicon Development Kit that it sent to some developers last year.

Apple this week requested a return of the Mac mini Apple Silicon kits that it shipped last summer, and was paying $ 200 for it in return. The affected developers have complained and with good reason, since they paid 500 dollars in their day, and have only been able to use the prototypes for 6 months. Apple has rectified, and will pay in full of what was paid. Issue resolved.

A couple of days ago reported of the decision that Apple had taken and that surprised everyone, especially those affected. The developers involved have complained, and the company has rectified its decision.

Months before the official launch of the Mac M1s, Apple offered some developers a $ 500 Developer Transition Kit (DTK) that included a Mac mini equipped with a chip. A12Z Bionic used for the first time in the iPad Pro, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, and an HDMI 2.0 port. to go testing with a Mac with an ARM processor.

These prototypes were transferred by the company temporarily for one yearAnd earlier this week, Apple surprised everyone by asking developers to return the Mac minis already in exchange for a $ 200 discount on the purchase of a new Apple Silicon Mac, now official.

Since the developers who acquired the DTK in their day spent U.S. dollar 500, many were unhappy with the amount of the compost, which had an expiration date at the end of May. They complain about the insufficient figure for a prototype that did not work well and that they have only had 6 months.

Apple has noticed, and has rectified the first decision. Credit has increased, and will now provide developers with the $ 500 they spent to spend on a Mac M1 or any other Apple product. Where I said I say, I say Diego.
