M1X Mac mini — Could This Be the One?
The rumours are intensifying…
Back in May, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that Apple was working on a brand-new Mac mini. We were told that it would “sit above the current entry-level M1 Mac mini” and feature four USB-C ports (as opposed to the latter’s two).
However, Gurman also informed us that “Apple could delay or cancel the new mini’s launch”. This didn’t fill me with confidence for the successor to what remains the most impressive desktop computer I’ve ever owned.
However, there does appear to be something going on. In May, renders from Jon Prosser and co. revealed what looks like a smart redesign of the Mac mini, complete with four USB-C ports and an iMac-like magnetic power connection. Those renders have been picked up again recently by the tech press in response to an intensifying number of rumours about the next Mac mini.
This all sounds quite exciting, doesn’t it? But what’s going on, exactly?
