Mac mini: what you need to know
Apple last updated the Mac mini with the M2 and M2 Pro chips in January 2023. Other new features included two additional Thunderbolt 4 ports and an HDMI 2.1 port for M2 Pro configurations, Wi-Fi 6E support with a compatible router, and Bluetooth 5.3.
Apple plans to launch new Mac mini models with M4 and M4 Pro chips “between late 2024 and early 2025,” according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Depending on this time frame, a new Mac mini could take between six and twelve months.
With the M4 series of chips, the Mac mini should get a significant jump in CPU performance compared to existing models with the M2 series. The M4 chips are also rumored to have a faster neural engine for AI tasks.
No other major updates or design changes have been rumored for the next Mac mini yet, but we have heard rumors about a slimmer design.
