Mac Mini M4 It is real and will be released very soon. The version, Apple’s new minicomputer, was confirmed first-hand by the same Cupertino firm in the announcement of the launch of macOS ‘Sequoa’.

Apple this week released the final and stable versions of its new generation of operating systems, with a focus on iOS 18, which is used by the new iPhone 16 phones and can be used to update a number of previous models. Other updated systems were iPadOS 18 for iPad tablets, visionOS 2 for the mixed reality viewer or watchOS for smart watches.

Mac Mini M4, confirmed

Another of the updated operating systems was macOS 15 Sequoia. It is the fourth operating system on the planet by market share, ruling all Mac personal computers. And just as hardware support is being talked about in its launch announcement, Apple has confirmed its mini-PC in the line of code it’s talking about. “Mac mini with Apple silicon and 5 ports”.

The “slip” (surprising, as the Cupertino firm usually keeps new releases highly secretive) reinforces previous reports from Apple-specific analysts who considered the launch of the Mac Mini M4 (Mac Mini 2024) a foregone conclusion.

The new version features are important because they talk about “biggest design change since 2010”. It is the elimination of USB Type-A ports in favor of the more modern and reversible USB Type-C (internal USB4) that is one of the big innovations and components that Apple mentions at the launch of macOS Sequoia.

They would be five USB Type-C ports (three on the back and two on the front like the Mac Studio), along with an Ethernet port, HDMI out and a headphone jack. Update to new wireless standards Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 They will be another of the improvements.

There will also be changes in the interior, especially in SoC M4Apple’s latest and most advanced engine, which will represent a leap in performance, efficiency and capabilities to accelerate artificial intelligence processes on a minicomputer. With macOS 15 Sequoia pre-installed and in two versions, basic and Pro, the Mac Mini M4 It will be available in October.
