▲Contents of order been altered by Apple.

The Mac mini price tag error had not been fixed from about noon until late at night. However, many users who made the orders found out that Apple had modified their ordering records. The erroneous price tag was changed back to NT$47,710, even the product name been modified to "MAC MINI CTO" without any notice.

Taiwan users were outraged by Apple's action. The whole event is much like in June last year. In both case Taiwan consumer regulators have ordred the company to honor the price typos, Dell ended up apologized and offered discounts.

But in this time, it's been four days and Apple have not made any apology or formal announcement to the public.

Update: In July 27, the consumer regulators and Apple have made a negotiation.  And buyers who can be proved as academic users will be offered the special price NT$19,900 for only one unit of Mac mini Server.
Finally, Apple made an apology to the public, and says they value the academic users as much importance. Hopefully the whole thing has come to an end.

(好吧,因為Apple標錯價事件遲未解決,某位T小編自告奮勇翻成英文報導,還良心掙扎了一下,還好剛剛有網友回報事件已經落幕,Apple協議以19,900每人一部機器出貨,這篇英文就給大家見笑,若要轉載或修正,依然歡迎XD)
