The 2020 models of both products were announced at the same time, and both feature the M1 chip. It's still likely we could see it announced before the end of the year though if Apple does have plans to release an M2 SoC. The last Mac Mini (M1) was released in late 2020, so going off Apple's typical 18 to 24 product release cadence, we expected it to be announced at the March 2022 event, but sadly this wasn't the case. The Apple Mac Mini (2022) hasn't even been announced yet, so there's no official release date that we can confirm. March 09: At its Spring 'Peek Performance' event, Apple unveiled a new M1 Ultra chipset, the iPad Air 2022, the iPhone SE 2022, the fancy Mac Studio, and more! But no Mac Mini, unfortunately. March 13: Bo-ring! Well-respected and (usually very well-informed) Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the upcoming Mac Mini will keep the existing form factor - and will show up in 2023.

What will it cost? Unknown, but likely similar to current pricing (starting at $699 / £699 / AU$1,099)Īpple Mac Mini 2022: Latest News and RumorsĪpril 15: Apple is testing a whole bunch of new Macs that are powered by its next-gen M2 chip - including a new Mac Mini.Īpril 14: A firmware update for Apple’s new Studio Display references a product marked as Macmini10,1, which apparently is a model ID not used for any of the existing Mac product lines.

When is it out? Expected late 2022 or 2023, but an announcement may come at WWDC 2022 on June 6.

What is it? Apple's next-generation mini-PC.We’re hoping it’ll appear at WWDC 2022, but won’t be surprised if it skips the event after all.

However, there’s a slight chance the Mac Mini 2022 won’t be at WWDC at all due to a different rumour from March stating the new Mac Mini will have no form factor redesigns and won’t show up until 2023. This theory is further solidified through the most recent laptop grapevine rumour that Apple is testing a bunch of new Macs powered by the next-gen M2 - the Mac mini among them. The 2022 Mac mini may have been absent from Apple’s “Peek Performance” event in March, but there’s still the possibility of it appearing at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in June.ĭue to its absence from the March event, it would make sense that Apple waited to unveil the Mac mini 2022 (and MacBook Air 2022) at WWDC 2022 because both products are rumoured to utilise the yet-to-be-announced M2 chip. We do know that when the Mac mini is announced, it’ll be powered by an Apple silicon processor - hopefully a brand new M2 chip. Rumours of the newest Mac mini began in July 2021, but we’ve seen no true updates from Apple regarding its existence.
