Apple leaks new info about the rumored redesign of the upcoming Mac Mini M4

by Ohio Digital News


Apple‘s big September iPhone event has come and gone and we now know all about the new iPhone 16, a new line of AirPods, and the Apple Watch 10. However, there’s still not an M4 Mac or MacBook.

That will be changing very soon, it seems.

Apple appears to have leaked news of a brand new Mac Mini. The leak brings hints of what to expect with the latest desktop Mac and seems to have confirmed rumors about a major redesign.

The new Mac Mini M4 coming soon

The latest Mac operating system, macOS Sequoia, launched on Monday. And, it seems like that launch has brought about a hidden confirmation from Apple about the upcoming Mac Mini M4.

MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris noticed an interesting tidbit in a new line of code from Apple. The line refers to “Apple silicon Mac mini (5 Port).”

This bolsters evidence for a previous report from Bloomberg’s Apple insider Mark Gurman. According to Gurman, Apple is planning to launch a new Mac Mini that’s not only powered by the latest and most powerful M4 chipset, but also one that’s completely redesigned. The new Mac Mini M4 is supposedly no larger than the Apple TV set-top box. This would be the first change in design for the Mac Mini since 2010.

In order to make the Mac Mini even smaller, reports suggested that Apple was going to remove USB-A ports completely from the tiny desktop. Apple will instead include 5 USB-C ports, which is likely what the “5 Port” mentioned in that code is referencing.

In addition, this is the closest we have to an “official” confirmation so far that a new Mac Mini is on the way. With one last Apple event of the year in either October or possibly November being heavily rumored, a new Mac Mini seems overwhelmingly likely to be part of the new crop of M4 Macs expected in 2024.
