The upcoming Mac mini will be substantially smaller, similar in size to an Apple TV box, although it may be slightly taller than its predecessor. It will be powered by Apple’s M4 and M4 Pro chips, representing a significant performance boost. The redesign may result in the removal of USB-A ports, aligning with Apple’s trend towards USB-C connectivity.

The seventh-generation iPad mini is powered by the A17 Pro chip, which provides a 30% boost in CPU performance and enhanced power efficiency. It features a brilliant 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display and is available in four finishes: blue, purple, starlight, and space gray. The iPad mini starts at $499 for the Wi-Fi model with 128GB of storage, double the storage of the previous generation.
