The video kicks off with John Ternus, Apple’s senior vice president of engineering, taking the wraps off the new desktop device (literally). He says the device is “even more mini,” as it measures just five inches long and wide.
The video then transitions to Mac Mini product manager Shloka Kini, who similarly says the M4 device comes with a “big boost in performance in an incredibly small design.” Kini claims the Mac Mini is up to six times faster than the top-selling PC in its price range — but at 1/20th the size.
The smaller — and more powerful — Mac Mini offers 16GB of RAM and has a starting price of $599 with the standard M4 chip, but that price goes up to $1,399 for the M4 Pro model. Tim Millet, Apple’s vice president of platform architecture says the M4 Pro comes with up to 14 CPU cores and 20 GPU cores, making it 1.6 times faster than the M2 Pro. We also get a glimpse at some of the Apple Intelligence updates coming across Mac devices, such as redesigned Siri and AI-powered writing tools.
This likely won’t be the last Mac-related announcement we see from Apple this week. The company is also rumored to release an M4-powered MacBook Pro.
