Apple is bringing a major design update to its smallest computer, the Mac mini, for the first time since 2010. This new Mac mini, approximately the size of an Apple TV, will hit the shelves by the end of 2024. According to exclusive news from Bloomberg, the Mac mini will become even more compact.

The new model, which will be smaller than the current Mac mini models, will come with more connection ports. It will have at least three USB-C ports on the back of the computer, in addition to the power and HDMI connections.

The Base Model will be equipped with an M4 chip used in the iPad Pro. The Premium Model will come with a more powerful processor, the M4 Pro, and will support more memory and graphics power.

Although the production cost of the new Mac mini will be lower, it is not yet clear whether the selling price will decrease. However, it is expected to have a more powerful hardware.

Mac mini is just one of the many new Macs that Apple will introduce this year. It is expected that the iMac and MacBook Pro with M4 chip will also be launched by the end of the year. In addition, it is said that the MacBook Air is being prepared for spring, and the Mac Pro and Mac Studio will arrive in mid-2025.

This major design change that Apple made to the Mac mini seems to excite both current and new users. The new Mac mini, which is smaller, more powerful and has more connection ports, will further strengthen Apple’s position in the desktop computer market.
