New design for the new Mac mini
One of the first novelties they have revealed is The design change that the new Mac mini will have. According to Mark Gurman himself, this will be the biggest redesign the company has seen so far, thanks to the possibilities offered by Apple Silicon.
Although many are concerned about whether could lose power, nothing to do with it, we have already seen what Apple can do with the redesign of the iPad Pro M4. The perfect example between having enough power and a slim design. This will be Apple's flagship launch this year keynote, and according to Gurman himself, it would be the size of the Apple TV.

The two models are:
-
Mac mini with M4 Chip.

Mac mini with M4 Pro Chip.
New MacBook Pro line… Cheaper?
When we talk about the selling price of MacBooks Pro, we cannot say that any of them are cheap, and The new MacBook Pro won't be either. Although cheap is not the word, the new design of this MacBook does It will be more economical compared to its predecessors.afternoon.
This is because The company has not implemented the M2 design to this device, and will keep its previous version which is cheaper.. As well, We will find that this MacBook Pro will have the most basic chip in the series, according to GurmanOf course, depending on each user's customization, the MacBook Pro can greatly increase its value, we are talking about a basic price here.
On the other hand, Gurman has confirmed to us that The new MacBook Pro line will be a real statement, being the most powerful in historyAnd as we are already accustomed to, it will be composed of three different models.
-
14″ MacBook Pro with M4 chip.
-
14″ MacBook Pro with M4 Pro and M4 Max.
-
16″ MacBook Pro with M4 Pro and M4 Max.
The strategy with this line is the same as that adopted in the previous year, including the "low-end" model that allows us to save a few euros to those who prefer it that way. We will have the MacBook Pro mini-LED display and 120Hz united to the power of the powerful M4 chip, without necessarily having to pay the extra price of the M4 Pro.
Apparently, this strategy worked wonders with the MacBook Pro M3, and the company has decided to stick with it.
The iMac features the M4 chip

Until last year, when the update of this device arrived, and it was changed to the M3 chip. However, this year Mark Gurman has confirmed to us that It will come with professional performance, since its update will feature the M4.
And while we can say that the optimization and efficiency of the M4 chip will fulfill the dreams of many users, the implementation of the M4 Pro chip could still be announced.

USB Type-C will dominate Mac accessories
It's not just about the new technological times, but also, the European Union itself is putting pressure so that, little by little, Every new electronic device comes equipped with this type of portsSince iPhones themselves already made the jump to USB-C last year, it was surprising that accessories didn't follow suit.
