Maybe we could see a new high-end Mac mini launch next month, reports say it might happen. Mark Gurman in his Power On newsletter believes Apple will beef up its current Mac Mini. Apple’s current Mac Mini uses its own proprietary chip, the M1. Moving away from Intel’s own chips, the Mac Mini is blazing fast as Apple has it optimised.
Mac Mini used to be the less favourite child of the Apple Family, pricey and old in design and specs. Basically a desktop in a tiny box that requires buying other peripherals to max its capabilities.
Apple’s Intel-powered Mac Mini has 4 USB-A ports, but its own M1 Mac Mini have only 2. Gurman believes the new high-end Mac Mini will have a newer M1X chip, and 4 USB-A ports.
And Apple would stop selling its Intel Mac Mini, which currently retails for $1,099.
“The Mac Mini is used for more basic tasks like video streaming, but many people use it as a software development machine, as a server or for their video-editing needs.” Gurman said.
“Apple knows that, so it kept the Intel model around. Well, expect that to go away in the next several months with a high-end, M1X Mac Mini. It will have an updated design and more ports than the current model.”

A month ago, reports from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said a new MacBook Air with Mini LED display will be released for 2022.
The analyst said:
“We expect Apple to release a new MacBook Air around the middle of 2022 with a 13.3-inch mini LED display.
“If the component shortage continues to improve in 2022, it will benefit from the new MacBook Air and Apple Silicon upgrades.”
The new MacBook Air is to have two USB 4 ports, reintroduced MagSafe charging. Same as the new Apple processors for its iPhones and iPads, there will be a direct successor to the present M1 processor according to Bloomberg.
Apple Silicon M1 models are cheaper at $699 and $899. A new redesigned MX1 Mac Mini probably will be cheaper or at least have newer specs alongside the entire Apple Family.
