Amazon accidentally reveals details about new Mac mini with M4 and M4 Pro chips
By ForGeeks Amazon has apparently inadvertently confirmed rumors of a new version of the Mac mini today, revealing a few key specs for the device ahead of Apple’s official announcement. According to the comparison chart on Amazon’s page for the new iMac, the updated Mac mini will feature variants of the M4 and M4 Pro chips with configurations of up to a 14-core CPU and 20-core GPU.
The new Mac mini will also be able to support up to 64GB of RAM, double the previous maximum of 32GB for combined memory, according to Amazon’s listing. Storage capacities will remain the same, reaching up to 8TB, just like the previous model.
New design and additional USB-C ports on the front
From the tiny image of the new Mac mini in Amazon’s table, we can assume that the device will have two front USB-C ports. These are probably Thunderbolt 4 ports, although the table doesn’t specify this point. An element resembling a headphone jack can be spotted next to them, but due to the low resolution of the image, it’s hard to confirm this.

When comparing the size of the Mac mini and Mac Studio in the image, it’s obvious that the new Mac mini is significantly smaller than the current model. According to insider Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the computer’s size is now closer to the Apple TV.

Fans of Space Black may be disappointed, however: the chart indicates that the new Mac mini, like the current model, will only be available in silver.
