Apple is nearing the announcement of its M4-powered Mac Mini, which is rumored to be the company’s smallest computer ever.
When the Mac Mini was first introduced in early 2005, it was pitched as a compact, “stripped down” desktop — and the most affordable Mac in Apple’s lineup. Steve Jobs referred to it as a “BYODKM” system: you’d bring your own display, keyboard, and mouse, and the Mini would provide a dependable computing experience with all the benefits of macOS. The Mac Mini has carried on ever since. There have been periods where the Mini has been sidelined and ignored by Apple for long stretches of time.
It’ll still have an HDMI port for those of you who’ve integrated Apple’s smallest Mac into their home theater setup. USB-A is said to be a goner, but... it’s time. Within the Mac family, the Mini still holds an important spot. The iMac is the visual stunner; the MacBook Pro delivers tremendous power on the go; and the Mac Pro and Mac Studio are both geared at professionals and creatives.
