It is very likely that we will not see an updated Mac mini this year, as it seems that Apple will finally launch it with the M4 and M4 Pro chips in 2025, although it could be brought forward and arrive at the end of this year. His last update It dates back to January 2023, with the M2 and M2 Pro chips, in addition to a series of new features such as more Thunderbolt 4 ports, Wi-Fi 6E, HDMI 2.1 for the Pro model and Bluetooth improvements. It is not yet known whether the next Mac mini will also introduce hardware improvements.
This expected M4 chip would bring with it great improvements in Artificial Intelligence and in your processor. These innovations could be presented at WWDC that will take place in June.
Since the introduction of the M1, Apple has been releasing staggered updates for some models. For example, the iMac was updated with M3 chips in late 2023, bypassing the M2 entirely. Other models still waiting to be updated are the Mac Studio and the Mac Pro, which, like the Mac mini, currently have the M2 chip.
What will happen to the current M2?
When these Mac minis with the M4 chip hit the market, it is likely that the models with the M2 chip will suffer a considerable decrease in production and even Apple could remove them from your store of products.
This would be in line with the Cupertino company's removal of previous generation products from the store under the premise of considering them obsolete in terms of technology, in addition to obviously wanting to direct all purchases towards the new version of the product.
However, Mac Minis with the M2 chip may still be a viable option for users who do not require maximum performance or are looking for a cheaper option. In any case, availability and individual consumer preferences will influence the fate of previous models.
