The very next day, Apple announced the new 24-inch iMac with an M4 chip the company has now seen fit to introduce a new version of the Mac mini. The redesigned Mac mini comes in two chip configurations: the M4 chip, which is the base version, and the M4 Pro chip for power users. In terms of design, the new M4 Mac mini is significantly smaller than its predecessor, and based on the images Apple has shared, it can fit in the palm of your hand.
