Release Date

Apple looks to be working on 2 distinct Mac Mini versions at the moment: a new high-end version to replace the existing Intel-based Mac Mini and a revamped entry-level Mac Mini with Apple‘s future M2 CPU. As per the reports, this might signify two different release dates.

We anticipate the high-end model will arrive first, owing to Apple’s self-imposed transition plan to move its Macs away from Intel processors and toward its own in-house chips. Despite the fact that Apple has given itself two years from 2020 to make the transition, a high-end Intel-based Mac Mini is still listed and counted on its website. That suggests a powerful new Mac Mini is very likely to arrive in 2022.

Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, that has a good track record when it comes to Apple rumours, predicted that Apple would reveal the new Mac Mini “in the next several months” in August 2021. The clock is ticking on this, so if Gurman’s prognosis is true, a spring 2022 launch date appears likely.

The lower-end Mac Mini could be refreshed in the fall of 2022. That means it’ll be two years since the original Apple Silicon Mac Mini was announced in Nov 2020, which is about the timeframe we’d predict for this product.

Price

Now let’s talk about the cost. The latest M1 Mac Mini costs ₹64900.00, with an ₹84900.00* model available. However, the Intel version starts at (around) 86900.00 and goes up from there. That pricing scheme makes it logical, so we don’t think Apple will change it for the new models.

The one caveat is that there are reports that the upcoming high-end Mac Mini’s chassis will be altered. Whenever Apple has done this in the past, it has often been accompanied by a price hike — see the 2021 16-inch MacBook Pro for an example — and Mac Mini could face a similar predicament.

Designs And Specifications

As previously said, speculations abound that Apple is working on two new Mac Minis. While it’s possible that we’ll see two quite distinct designs from them, nothing is confirmed at this point.

Prosser’s claim of a slimmed-down design makes logical. Apple has been able to design its computers around the M1 chip’s higher efficiency when compared to Intel CPUs by reducing their weight. The completely revamped 24-inch iMac, which was lowered to a microscopic 11.5mm in thickness, has already shown the effects, and Mac Mini could be next.

Based on what we know thus far about the upcoming Mac Mini’s internals, we can expect revamped internals with more ports and either an M1 Pro, M1 Max, or M2 chip.

In the latest MacBook Pro computers, M1 Pro and M1 Max CPUs have already pleased us. Meanwhile, the M2 chip is a follow-up to M1 and is expected to debut in MacBook Air 2022, with a focus on efficiency rather than raw performance.

In terms of design, the most reliable claims came from well-known leaker Jon Prosser, who said in May that the upcoming Mac Mini would be smaller and have more ports. He claims it will have the same magnetic charging connector as the forthcoming 24-inch iMac 2021, as well as four Thunderbolt connectors, among other things.

Conclusion

Apple appears to be adopting a 2-year strategy in the “tock-tock” style. A new CPU architecture for entry-level Macs (2020: M1) will be released first, followed by professional variants the following year. As a result, 2022 will undoubtedly be the year of the M2 architecture. The future promises to be amazing!

People may ask

Q- Will A New Mac Mini Be Released In 2021?

A- There will be no Mac Mini 2021, but here’s what will (most likely) happen next. When Mac mini with M1 arrived in 2020, we were blown away, but despite all the rumours that followed its introduction, it doesn’t appear that we’ll get the Mac mini 2021 upgrade this year after all.
