Apple's upcoming leap event could see the launch of a new high-stop Mac mini, alongside the rumored iPhone SE 3 and iPad Air 5.

This would correspond with contempo reports coming from ii reputable Apple tipsters Mark Gurman and Ross Young, who accept hinted that the new high-end Mac mini could arrive sometime this spring. Both tipsters didn't explicitly mention the device, nonetheless, if cross-referenced, their reports seemingly suggest the aforementioned launch window.

In his latest Power-On newsletter, Gurman stated that although the upcoming bound event is expected to focus on smartphone and tablet announcements, he also expects "at least one new Mac." Gurman hinted that it could be either the new Mac mini or the 27-inch iMac Pro.

Meanwhile, Young recently said that the iMac Pro isn't expected to make it until summer, despite his earlier claims about the bound launch. So if Gurman believes that in that location will be at to the lowest degree one Mac announcement at the Apple Spring Result and Immature crosses out the arrival of the iMac Pro, it'due south looking likely that the device in question could exist the new high-end Mac mini.

If the rumors pan out to be truthful, we'd expect Cupertino to equip the new high-end Mac mini with one of the Apple Silicon chips (likely the M1 Pro and M1 Max seen in the latest MacBook Pro models). And seeing every bit the company ditched Intel chips for the M1 fleck in entry-level Mac mini in 2020, it would brand sense for Apple tree to practise the same for the higher finish model too. This would potentially be the biggest redesign of the premium-tier Mac mini since 2018.

Back in May 2021, we reported on a leak coming from a regular source Jon Prosser, claiming that the adjacent high-finish Mac mini could also be thinner and sport more ports besides equally a magnetic MagSafe power connection.

Nosotros're simply simply stepping into February, which means nosotros may well spot other predictions ahead of Apple tree's planned launches, and then stay tuned.
