Apple's New Mac Mini: Smaller Design, M4 Chip, Major Updates Ahead
The M4 chip will be featured in upcoming MacBook Pro and iMac models, with new MacBook Airs expected to be released in 2025.
Apple is working on updates for the Mac Pro and Mac Studio, slated for mid-2025.
Apple is anticipated to introduce a significant redesign of the Mac mini later this year, positioning it as the smallest desktop computer the company has ever created.
The new model, which will be significantly smaller and roughly the size of an Apple TV, will feature the M4-series chip, known for its advanced AI capabilities.
The updated Mac mini will have an aluminum shell, be slightly taller than the current version, and include at least three USB Type-C ports, an HDMI port, and a power connector.
This will be the first major update to the Mac mini since 2010.
The M4 chip will be featured in upcoming MacBook Pro and iMac models, with new MacBook Airs expected to be released in the spring of 2025.
Additionally, Apple is working on updates for the Mac Pro and Mac Studio, slated for mid-2025.
This rollout of M4 chips across all Mac devices would mark the first time Apple uses the same generation of chips across its entire Mac lineup.
There are also rumors that the iPhone 16 series may feature a new A18 chip, with the Pro models getting an A18 Pro variant.
