None of this should really be a surprise, but the most interesting machine in Gurman’s article, to me at least, is the Mac mini, which he says is in testing:
A Mac mini with an M2 chip, codenamed J473. This machine will have the same specifications as the MacBook Air. There’s also an “M2 Pro” variation, codenamed J474, in testing.
Apple is also testing a Mac mini with an M1 Pro chip, the same processor used in the entry-level 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros today. That machine is codenamed J374. The company has tested an M1 Max version of the Mac mini as well, but the new Mac Studio may make these machines redundant.
So far, the M1 Pro is the only design that isn’t in a desktop Mac. It seems to me like an obvious candidate to round out the Mac mini line.
