M4 Mac mini review roundup: Pint-sized powerhouse that won't break the bank

Apple's overhaul of the Mac mini with M4 has been warmly received by reviewers, with many highlighting how it's one of the best values you can get right now — provided you avoid those pricey upgrades.


M4 Mac mini

Apple's introduction of the New Mac mini on October 29 wasn't its usual spec-bump update. After months of rumors, it finally refreshed the model to make it even more mini.

At 5 inches square, its footprint trims off 2.7 inches each in width and length, but it did grow in height to 2 inches. It's now the smallest Mac Apple has ever sold to consumers.

Two senior presidential campaign officials' iPhones maybe hacked by Chinese group

Evidence suggests that the earlier Chinese Salt Typhoon breach of American telecoms may have led to the potential hacking of two presidential campaign officials' iPhones.


iPhones potentially breached

Whether the hack actually happened, what data might have been obtained, or which officials were breached have not been revealed. The FBI is investigating claims by a security startup called iVerify that tie the events together.

According to a report from Forbes, iVerify flagged anomalous behavior on two iPhones belonging to senior officials for one of the presidential candidates. Settings had been changed on the iPhones in "patterns that are not observed on healthy devices."

iPad mini 7 review: a more mighty micro tablet

There's not much new to talk about regarding the iPad mini 7 beyond the chipset upgrade that provides a much-needed mid-life upgrade.


iPad mini 7 review: a more powerful mini

It's human nature to like something simply because it looks new and different, so the iPad mini 7 may come across as boring to some. However, it is anything but boring as the A17 Pro transforms this little tablet into a portable gaming powerhouse and Apple Intelligence machine.

The iPad mini 6 was a revolution when it was announced in 2021. Apple fully redesigned the little tablet and gave it the no-button, all-screen makeover the rest of the lineup had seen.

New Mac mini has a slotted & removable SSD -- but don't expect upgrades

Apple isn't soldering the SSD to the logic board in the M4 Mac mini, but given the company's history with Apple Silicon, don't expect upgrades.

Older Intel-based Mac minis provided intrepid users with the ability to disassemble the computer and to upgrade a few components. The 2018 model had upgradeable RAM, but easily replaceable internal storage on the Mac mini has been a thing of the past for a decade.

A question posed to the iFixit forums innocently asks if the SSD in the 2024 Mac mini is soldered in place. Soldered storage is practice that Apple has performed throughout the Apple Silicon age, for the most part, making it extremely difficult for anyone to replace.

Apple execs address Mac mini's hidden power button in 2024 redesign

Apple's 2024 Mac mini stashes the power button underneath, a bold move that executives say aligns with user habits, even if it's left some fans scratching their heads.

The company's latest Mac mini is significantly downsized — about half the size of its predecessor. The overhaul makes it more compact and gave Apple's designers challenges in laying out external features.

Apple's Vice Presidents, Greg Joswiak, Apple's Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, and John Ternus, Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, explained to IThome. They emphasized that the compact form factor still makes it easy to access the button by tucking a finger underneath to press it.

iPhone 14 Pro prototype reveals the humble beginnings of Apple's haptic button project

A newly-discovered iPhone 14 Pro prototype features one of the earliest known incarnations of Apple's scrapped haptic button project.


An iPhone 14 Pro featuring Apple's Bongo design was recently discovered.

Back in July of 2024, AppleInsider published exclusive imagery of a prototype iPhone 15 Pro Max equipped with Apple's long-rumored haptic buttons. Developed under the codename Project Bongo, the haptic buttons were supposed to make their debut in 2023 but never ended up on mass-production units.

Power press: Fixes for Apple's oddly-placed Mac mini button

Apple's decision to place the power button of the M4 Mac mini underneath has been questioned by users. In some cases, they've come up with their own "solutions" to the problem.


Mac mini power button

The introduction of the M4 Mac mini was welcomed by critics, with the already small Mac made to be even smaller. Getting to that size meant there had to be a compromise, and that took the form of an awkward power button placement.

Rather than at the rear, the button is instead underneath the corner of the Mac mini's enclosure. It's in a position that you have to lift or tilt the Mac mini to access it, which can be awkward for people with larger digits.
