Apple introduced its new 24-inch iMac on Monday, just a few days after refreshing the iPad mini with its seventh-generation version. While the iPad mini 7 is powered by last year’s A17 Pro chip, the new 24-inch iMac is the first Mac to feature the Apple M4 chipset (curr. $1,299 on Amazon). It seems Apple still has more Mac products to unveil in the near future.
More Devices on the Horizon
In conjunction with the announcement yesterday, Apple suggested that additional devices will be revealed later this week. Current predictions indicate that these products will include updated versions of the MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16, as well as a revamped Mac mini. Interestingly, MacRumors has found hints of the upcoming Mac mini in a comparison table on Amazon, which we have included below.
Exciting Upgrades for the Mac Mini
If the information is correct, the forthcoming Mac mini is set to not only include M4 and M4 Pro chipsets, but will also feature a complete redesign resembling a smaller Mac Studio. Additionally, Apple has trimmed down the front-facing ports to just a 3.5 mm jack and two USB Type-C ports. Moreover, the same comparison table seems to verify details about the yet-to-be-released M4 Pro chipset, which is said to have 14 CPU cores, 20 GPU cores, and support for up to 64 GB of unified memory. As it stands, Apple is anticipated to officially announce both the Mac mini and the M4 Pro chipset later today.
