Apple on Tuesday launched all-new Mac mini models with the M2 and M2 Pro chips. Although there are no design changes on the new model, it is still the same as it was years ago. And, there’s word that the design of the Mac mini models may not be changing anytime soon.
Apart from this, there is also news about the upcoming chipsets from Apple, the M3 Pro and M2 Max. The 3nm chip-powered MacBook Pro(s) is tipped to go into mass production in the first half of 2024.

My new prediction for the next new Mac mini is the same one I made about ten months ago. I think the new Mac mini in 2024 will probably stick to the same form factor design. https://t.co/na1Z0DDUpA– éƒæ˜ŽéŒ¤ (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) January 17, 2023

I expect the next new MacBook Pro models, which will adopt M3 Pro/M3 Max processors made by 3nm (likely TSMC’s N3P or N3S), to go into mass production in 1H24. https://t.co/8JR4LOHFVs– éƒæ˜ŽéŒ¤ (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) January 17, 2023

Both the rumored chipsets will be based on 3nm fabrication and built by TSMC’s N3P and N3S architectures.
If you are someone who is looking forward to buy a Mac mini now, then you should not worry much as at least the design is not getting refreshed. But for others, it’s not the good news but what we were all hoping for, it’s Apple after all.
Coming to things aside, Apple’s Mac mini that was released on Tuesday comes at a starting price of Rs 59,900. There are many configurations to choose from. You can customize the Mac mini M2 with up to 24GB of RAM and 2TB SSD, while the Mac mini M2 Pro can be bought with up to 32GB of RAM and 8TB of SSD storage.
The new Mac mini models could power a 6K resolution display at 60Hz. The Mac mini M2 Pro may also let you connect a 4K resolution display with 240Hz refresh rate.
The post-successors of the Apple Mac mini M2 may not have a new design, the 3nm M3 Pro/Max-powered MacBook Pro launch tipped for 2024 appeared first on BGR India.
