The Spring event is expected to host several new Apple products, such as the iPhone SE 5G, a new iPad Air, and the rumored Mac mini refresh. We’re particularly excited about this one because it seems that Apple could be working to make the computer even more powerful by giving it M1 Pro and Max configurations.
Yep, a new design is coming.

This means that if you wanted a powerful desktop computer but want to use your own display instead of an all-in-one like the iMac, then this refresh could be worth looking forward to. Dylandkt also corroborates claims that we heard previously that the Mac mini could actually be refreshed.
The current design of the Mac mini is rather understated and relatively nondescript, which isn’t a bad thing, but at the same time we wouldn’t mind seeing an updated design. Also, the addition of the M1 Pro and Max configurations should make it pretty powerful based on what we’ve seen in reviews of the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros.
