Apple is expected to release a redesigned Mac mini featuring the company's upcoming M4 chip, a more powerful version of the M3 with higher GPU speeds, additional cores, and enhanced AI capabilities, including a 16-core neural engine capable of 38 trillion operations per second.
The new Mac mini is described as "an iPad Pro in a small box" and may be closer in size to an Apple TV decoder, with a width of around 3.7 inches, less than half the size of the current model, but slightly taller when laid flat.
It is expected to feature an aluminum casing and at least three USB-C ports, a power cord, and an HDMI port. A more powerful M4 Pro version is also anticipated, potentially removing USB-A ports.
The new Mac mini is rumored to be available for purchase later this year, with a lower price than the current model.
