Apple's support of my software company was terrible and shameful.
I got a dev unit (mac mini). It had beta 2 on it. We started the porting effort and had questions. Forums were the only place they said answers could be had. Never got any answers.
When beta 10 was released, it just wouldn't install. We tried for a week then saw a post on the forums that gave a hint about Mac-to-Mac reset of the firmware and general machine state. We had to upgrade another machine to Catalina to use it (inconvenient, but not a killer).
When 11.0.1 came out it wouldn't install and now the machine is a brick. We ordered a production mini with the M1 and it will be here in late December. While we sit with the brick and can't do any porting.
At every step we hit brick walls and had zero help from Apple. It was beyond frustrating.
- treesknees 6y agoFor what it's worth, you could have walked into an Apple store and bought the M1 Mini the same day. No need to wait 3 weeks.

- smnrchrds 6y agoI am not sure about the OP, but M1 Macs are not available in store anywhere in Canada, or at least not in Alberta and BC. Ordering by mail is the only option here at the moment.
- e40 6y agoWhen you order, they always give a local pickup option if it exists. It did not. And, because I want 16GB that's an automatic wait.
- vetinari 6y ago16 GB ones are BTO, you cannot pick them in the store.
- novok 6y agoNot in the bay area today, none are available for pickup
