As you probably know 75% of apple max range have apple silicon chips inside them however
what about the more specked up powerful mac mini will it get the new m1 pro and m1 max
chipset or will it just get the m2 in 2022 well we have a report that may help we also
cover the mac mini m1 pro and m1 max release date and price and other expected features.
Hi it's Matt here, so apple updated the baseline mac mini in 2020 with the m1 chipset inside
however apple still continued to sell the top range mac mini and i'll explain why this is
later on in this video however for design wise we haven't actually seen a true redesign to this mac
since 2010 when we went from the kind of plastic design to the full-on unibody metal design that we
can see here shortly after we had changes like the loss of the cd dvd drive then in 2018 we also got
a space grey version however overall the design has remained the same for about 10 years now
the great news is apple are looking to make a whole new design for the mac mini
based on the renders that you're seeing right here and also apple be pushing in a more powerful apple
silicon chip than the m1 that we currently have right now so going forwards for all the new mac
mini videos like this one i'm going to be first of all talking about specific features and also maybe
talking about some of the latest leaks about those features then afterwards i'll talk about the plan
release date time and then also we'll also discuss the prices and we'll be doing this by doing a
summary of everything we know about the mac mini and also everything else that we've learned in
previous leaks afterwards i'll be revealing my wish list for the next mac mini and also put in
the comments below of what features you'd love to see in the latest mac mini and in my next video
i may feature your comment and also discuss my thoughts around it so let's get started with that
new report of when we could possibly get our hands on that next tier more powerful mac mini with the
m1 pro and m1 max inside so report is coming from russ young who has informed from mac rumors that
the larger imac will be coming out in early 2022. now to stick with me with this one this new larger
imac will have the m1 pro and the m1 max inside it is likely that at the same event where they
will launch this new imac that the new mac mini will be launched at the same time when we think
about this this is very logical because we've just had the apple unleashed event where we got the new
macbooks and these are basically considered the laptops or the notebook events so now it's time
for the pro desktops to get some special treatment in an event last year in 2020 and november time we
got the announcement of the brand new m1 chipset and we got the macbook air and the macbook pro
included but then in 2021 at the spring-loaded event we got the redesigned imac 24-inch model so
if we apply again the same logic it's very logical that we will see the new larger imac and also that
more specked up map mini at the event so a quick note with any of these leaks even up to the new
mac mini release date that all reports and leaks are not 100 proof that they will come true and
that with the new mac mini i can only present you what i've been told and shown however if you are
watching this video then you're as curious as i am in knowing what is going to be said about the next
mac mini anyway with that out of the way here's a quick word from our sponsor for just one minute
then after we're going to be talking about the release date the summary of everything we know
so far and also the price of the mac mini so just quickly guys recently this channel got over
300 000 subscribers what is absolutely amazing so in celebration of this i've decided to do a
giveaway of this it is an iphone 13 pro max and it is in white silver and it's a 256 gigabyte
model option so recently i've given away a sierra blue one when we got over 300 000 subscribers and
i'm going to be giving away this iphone 13 pro max when we get over 350 000 subscribers and all
you need to do to enter into this international giveaway is just write down in the comments below
of what apple gear you're planning to buy in 2022 write it down in the comments below and also at
the same time as well make sure you subscribe to this channel and also hit that notification bell
because i'll be revealing who the winner is when we get over 350 000 subscribers via a video and
you won't want to miss that notification for that video now quickly i just want to mention as well
sadly there are a lot of scammers and spammers out there who use my face for example and also tell
you to whatsapp them this is not me and i'm afraid they're not giving away any giveaways out there
i'm the only one who's doing the giveaway and you can make sure it's me by seeing that there's a
tick next to my actual name and also like i said that any comments or anything will have that tick
but the actual giveaway itself will be on that actual video when we get over 350 000 subscribers
not before well with that out of the way let's return back to the video so release date we've
already spoken about a report from ross young on this channel where we've spoken about the specs
up larger imac and the mac mini will be coming out in early 2022 but when in early 2022 you may ask
well again applying the same rules with the m1 chipset where we got a map of air and also that
13-inch macbook pro in november 2020 and then we got the new imac 24-inch model announced in
april time in 2021 is most likely the same case will happen now so we've just had the
new 14 inch and 16 inch macbook pros in late 2021 with the m1 pro and the m1 max put inside it so
we're expecting the more specked up mac mini to be announced in an event in march or april 2022 and
this is following the trend of the last 12 months so based on this a release date would be very near
after this event time so this could probably be around the end of march time however if there
is still a chip shortage out there and it's not improved really then the event might get delayed
april time and we might not be able to get a hand on the mac mini until may 2022 however the moment
we hear more updates to the release date i'll be updating these videos with everything we know
but moving on let's do a summary of the 2022 mac mini is expected to give us and the prices
so as i've already said a lot of these features and specs are subject to change but one thing we
do know most likely what is going to happen with the new mac mini m1x is we're going to be getting
a brand new design as you've been watching in these renders here it's going to be a slimmer mac
mini and also it's one of the big top features is it's going to have that new magsafe power
connector on the back similar to the 24 inch imac that we have right now we'll just pop straight
out so that is really really cool on top of that as well inside this mac mini we're going to have
the ability to choose from 512 to 8 terabytes of ssd storage so just make that clear that's 512
gigabytes one terabyte two terabytes four terabytes and eight terabytes of storage
then on top of that as well it will have that brand new m1 pro or m1 max chipset inside it and
this will come with two efficiency cores and eight performance cores we're also expecting
this chipset to appear in the likes of the new macbook pros and also that brand new 32 inch
imac or imac pro then also for gpu we're expecting either 16 or a 32 core gpu option depending if you
pick m1 pro or m1 max so for ram next there's going to be a choice between 16 gigabytes to 64
gigabytes of ram it's most likely if you choose the bottom range you'll get that 16 core gpu
but if you pick the higher range you'll probably get that 32 core gpu but this
hasn't been 100 confirmed yet but the second it will be we will update this sheet accordingly
also with that design what i talked about we're going to be getting aluminium body frame around
the edges what's going to look really really cool again just like we have with the current mac mini
and then for ports on the back we're going to be getting four times thunderbolt 4 ports
and we're also going to be getting two times usb 3.2 ports the usual sort of usb a design that we
get right now or the usual usb type of port and then also there will be a 10 gigabyte ethernet
and then there will also be a hdmi port that will support hdmi 2.1 the starting price for this mac
mini m1x will start at 1099 usd and that will give you a 512 gigabyte storage option and also 16 gigs
of ram because you can flick and change the amount of storage and ram and everything else like that i
can't put all the different prices down here just basically the starting price but moving on let's
talk about my wishes for the mac mini and my wish is to do with the price right now the m1 mac mini
starts at 699 us dollars but the intel version the more higher spec one starts at 1099 usd
my fear is apple may raise the price of this mac mini due to the power you get inside the
potential m1x however i'm hoping that apple retain the price or even better drop the mac mini down to
999 us dollars as the m1 mac mini was actually 100 cheaper than its older intel brother than
the last generation however with a new design and everything i do not believe this will happen with
the higher spec mac mini but those are my thoughts and it is also my current wish for this new
mini however let me know your thoughts if you agree with this and also write in the comments
below what your wishes would be for the new machine well guys it's time to wrap up this
