Apple is expected to announce the updated Mac mini later this week. Ahead of the formal reveal, Amazon has seemingly leaked the device and some of its specifications. A comparison chart on the e-commerce website reportedly showed the unreleased Mac mini with M4 and M4 Pro chip options. It appears to have 64GB of RAM and up to 8TB of storage. The new Mac mini also appears to be smaller than its predecessors.

Amazon Leaks New Mac Mini With M4 and M4 Pro Chips

A comparison chart on the Amazon US website spotted by MacRumors has leaked the key specifications of the new Mac mini. While Amazon has now removed the chart, a screenshot of the listing shared by the publication suggests that the machine will come with M4 and M4 Pro chip options, with a maximum 14-core CPU and up to 20-core GPU.

The new Mac mini appears to be smaller than the current model in the comparison chart. The chart includes Mac Studio, the two-port M4 iMac, and the four-port M4 iMac. The listing indicates that the device can be configured with up to 64GB of RAM. For comparison, the current M2 Pro Mac mini has a 32GB RAM limit.

Like the existing Mac mini model, the new Mac mini will be offered in a silver colour option and carry up to 8TB of storage. The tiny image of the device in the listing suggests two front-facing USB Type-C ports. The report notes that these could also be Thunderbolt 4 ports and there is possibly a 3.5mm headphone jack as well.

Apple is expected to announce the M4 Mac mini and MacBook Pro models sometime this week. The Cupertino-based company launched the 24-inch iMac on Monday with an M4 chip and a 4.5K Retina display with a starting price tag of Rs. 1,34,900.

MacBook Air With M4 Chip to Debut in Early 2025, M4 Mac Studio Delayed to Second Quarter: Report

Apple is working on an updated MacBook Air with the company’s current generation M4 chip that is expected to arrive in “early 2025”, according to a report. The Cupertino company is also developing a new Mac Studio model that is also equipped with an M4 chip, but it has reportedly been delayed by a few months. Meanwhile, Apple is expected to launch new M4-powered Mac models next week, including a new iMac, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini, in what is likely to be the company’s last hardware launch of the year.

Apple Could Launch M4 MacBook Air Model in Early 2025

A Bloomberg report citing people aware of the matter states that Apple could soon begin production of new M4 MacBook Air models that could be launched by the company in early 2025, alongside new iPhone SE, iPad, and iPad Air models. The current generation MacBook Air with an M3 chip was introduced in March, and a refreshed model with a more powerful processor could arrive around the same time next year.

Apple’s upcoming MacBook Air models will be available in 13-inch (codenamed J713) and 15-inch (J715) display sizes and will feature the same design as the current generation MacBook Air models, according to the report. These variants are likely to be introduced after a software update that is expected to arrive in December.

Meanwhile, an updated Mac Studio model with an M4 chip (codenamed J575) won’t be announced in the first quarter, according to Bloomberg. It will reportedly be launched between March and June, and there’s no word on when Apple will refresh the Mac Pro with an M4 chip. This claim was first made by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman earlier this year.

Apple Expected to Refresh Mac Models With M4 Chip

Earlier this month, Gurman stated that Apple would launch a 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M4 chip (codenamed J604), and high-end 14-inch (J614) and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M4 chips (J616). Similarly, a Mac mini with M4 or M4 Pro chips (J773) along with a refreshed iMac with an M4 chip (J623) could also be launched by the company.

Apple launched a refreshed iPad Mini with an A17 Pro chip — the processor that powered the iPhone 15 Pro — on October 15, while the company has yet to unveil the new Mac models listed above. Previous reports suggest that the upcoming M4 Mac Mini will feature a much smaller body that resembles the Apple TV box. it is currently unclear whether Apple will hold a launch event for these products, or announce their arrival via its website, like the new iPad Mini (2024).

Apple Might Hold October Launch Event for Updated iPad Mini, M4-Powered Mac Models: Gurman

Ashish Singh — Mon, 09 Sep 2024 06:01:15 +0000

Apple’s ‘It’s Glowtime’ launch event is scheduled to take place later today, as the Cupertino company is expected to launch up to four handsets in the iPhone 16 series that will offer Apple Intelligence features, as well as new AirPods and Apple Watch models. This isn’t likely to be the company’s final launch event of the year, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who says that Apple could unveil new iPad models and well as a new version of its smallest computer — the Mac Mini — next month.

In the latest version of his Power On newsletter, Gurman states that Apple could launch new iPad models at an event in October. One of these will be the successor to the iPad Mini (2021) that was launched three years ago, with an A15 Bionic chip. The Bloomberg journalist has not specified which processor will power the upcoming iPad Mini model.

Apple has already updated the iPad Air and iPad Pro earlier this year, powered by its M2 and M4 chips, respectively. This suggests that the company could launch new versions of the iPad Mini and the standard iPad at the purported launch event in October.

Gurman has also reiterated his previous claim that Apple will launch new Mac models at a launch event next month. One of these new models will reportedly be a Mac Mini powered by Apple’s M4 chipset, housed in a much smaller body than the existing M2-powered Mac Mini model.

Apple didn’t launch an M3 powered Mac Mini model to succeed the one powered by its M2 chip, which means that the purported successor could offer a considerable increase in performance over its predecessor.

The company will also announce updated versions of the MacBook Pro and the iMac in October, alongside the purported M4 Mac Mini, according to the journalist. These are also expected to be powered by the company’s M4 chip, which is its most powerful Apple Silicon processor to date.
