Amazon leaks smaller Mac Mini with M4 and M4 Pro chips, two USB-C ports on the front, up to 64GB of RAM and more

On October 30, 2024By Littum

Amazon has apparently leaked the rumored next-generation Mac mini ahead of Apple’s announcement this week, revealing more details.

Our concept with a smaller Mac mini

According to a comparison chart regarding Amazon’s product listing for the new iMacthe new Mac mini will be available with M4 and M4 Pro chip options with up to a 14-core CPU and up to a 20-core GPU. Additionally, the diagram shows that the new Mac mini can be configured with up to 64GB of RAM, which is double the current 32GB limit for unified memory. Storage capacity for the Mac mini will apparently continue to max out at 8TB, just like the previous model.

The diagram contains a very small image of the new Mac mini, seemingly confirming that the computer will have two front-facing USB-C ports, as previously rumored. It’s possible these could be Thunderbolt 4 ports, but the diagram doesn’t indicate. And is that a headphone jack on the front right? The picture is a bit too small and blurry to tell for sure.

When shown side-by-side with the Mac Studio in the comparison chart, the new Mac mini also appears to be much smaller than the current model, as previously rumored. BloombergMark Gurman said the computer would be closer to an Apple TV in size.

M4 Mac Mini Amazon Leak
Here’s the full comparison chart:

Amazon Mac Mini M4 Leak
Unfortunately for Space Black fans, the chart shows that the next Mac mini will apparently only be available in silver, just like the current model.

It’s likely that the comparison chart shown in Amazon’s listing was provided by Apple, so the specs are likely accurate.

Apple is likely to announce the new Mac mini on Wednesday.

Update: Predictably, the comparison chart was removed from the Amazon listing minutes after we posted, but it was probably authentic.
