Re: Mac mini M6 coverage expired in first day
Wondering where you checked:
ie: If you haven't already:
Try entering your Mac's serial number in Apple's "coverage" webpage:
View Coverage - AppleCare & Warranty
More info: Find information about your warranty or AppleCare plan - Apple Support
If the Mac mini wasn't purchased directly from Apple:
You may need to contact those you purchased it from to check on the warranty.
________
If needed: Call Apple Support at 1-800-APLCARE
(or you may be able to download & use their Apple Support app)
ie: View AppleCare Products - Apple and scroll right down to "Support made simple"
For a new purchase:
You can choose your country or region for info. about Apple's complimentary support:

Yes, the OP should verify that it's actually an M6!
The Mac mini M6 was only released yesterday (Sep 22). If it was a 1-year old used Mini it would be an M4 Pro or earlier.

Was it a 1 year old used mini?
Some folk have been tricked into buying apparently new minis from third party vendors on sites like eBay, FaceBook etc.
