The Mac Mini appears to be on the brink of a major upgrade. Here are five things Apple needs to get right when it launches the next small-scale Mac this fall.
Rumors are swirling that Apple is about to release a brand-new Mac Mini. With the company’s October event apparently no longer happening, that means we could see a new Mac Mini launched with a press release any day now.
It’s been two years since Apple launched the M1 Mac Mini, yet there’s still no replacement for the Intel model. We know how much better Apple silicon chips are than the 8th-generation Intel Core i5 in the high-end Mac Mini — the M1 Pro would utterly destroy it, both in terms of power and efficiency — so why hasn’t Apple switched it out yet?
Right now, the Mac Mini only takes up a small footprint on your desk. Yet it feels taller than it needs to be, despite most models coming with an efficient M1 chip. If the chassis was slimmed down, it would make the Mac Mini far more portable and travel-friendly, and much prettier sat on a desk. But before we get too carried away, I don’t think we should expect anything like the range of colors you see in the 24-inch iMac. Apple likes to frame the Mac Mini as a more professional device, which usually limits its color palette somewhat.
Apple needs to fix that by restoring the port parity. In an age where Apple is bringing back things like the HDMI slot and MagSafe connector to the MacBook Pro, it wouldn’t surprise me if the next Mac Mini expands its port array as well.
