Additionally, the reported listing page for the Mac mini provided a first look at the device, which is said to feature a design similar to the Mac Studio but in a more compact chassis. The page also listed the new Mac mini in a single Silver colour option.

 While the report does not specify the connectivity options for the new Mac mini, it is likely that the model will eliminate USB-A ports in favour of additional USB-C ports.

The new Mac mini is expected to include up to five USB-C ports, with three located at the back and two at the front.

Furthermore, it is anticipated to feature an HDMI port, a headphone/microphone jack, and Ethernet connectivity.

The device is also expected to include an internal power supply unit, despite its compact design.
