Apple is reportedly planning to release a new Mac mini with two different versions, according to a report shared by AppleInsider. This comes as whispers suggest a delay in the launch of the next MacBook Pro 14 and 16 models, which might not arrive until early 2026.
The two new Mac mini versions are expected to replace the current models that use M4 and M4 Pro chips, which were updated last year. These new ones might feature M5 and M5 Pro chips, offering a bit more power.
The current Mac mini, redesigned in October 2024, starts at $599 and comes with front and back ports, making it a popular small computer. Some sources suggest Apple might show these new versions soon, possibly before the usual fall launch time, though it’s not clear yet.
The delay in the MacBook Pro release has led to guesses that Apple might focus on the Mac mini instead this year. Apple hasn’t confirmed anything yet, but the idea of two new options has fans eager to see what’s next.
