- Apple is reportedly preparing to launch new Mac Mini computers powered by the base M4 and yet-to-be-announced M4 Pro chips.
- The upcoming computer will likely feature a significantly smaller design resembling an aluminum Apple TV of sorts.
- Rumors suggest that the refreshed Mac Mini will launch this fall and offer one HDMI and three USB-C ports.

Earlier this year, the company revealed its thinnest tablet ever, the iPad Pro (2024), and rumors indicate that a slim iPhone 17 variant is in the works. In the Mac department, the iMac and MacBook have already received the facelift, and the Mini model could be the next to follow suit.

According to Bloomberg, the Mac Mini M4 will feature a redesigned build that is significantly smaller than the present one. The compact computer will reportedly retain the aluminum design and feature one HDMI and three USB-C ports. The end result could be an Apple TV-like device powered by the current iPad Pro’s brain.
