Why does Apple not change the design of the "Mac Mini"?

Apple made a big surprise this week and introduced its new products with M2 Pro and M2 Max processors. Although the family that attracts the most attention from the announcements is the MacBook Pro, the Mac mini has also received an important update. Updated with the latest standard M1 processor, Mac mini got its new update after a long time.

Why isn't the Mac mini's design changing?

Apple's new Mac mini models with M2 and M2 Pro processors attract attention with their affordable prices. However, the devices have almost the same design as the Mac mini that Apple introduced in 2010. Mac mini was thought to have a smaller design with the company abandoning Intel processors in 2020, but Apple still uses the same design, despite the small components of the Mac mini. Okay but why?

May be to keep the price low

Famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, known for his sources close to Apple, talked about the design of the Mac mini. According to Kuo, Apple will not change the design of the product anytime soon. In fact, the Mac mini, which will be introduced in 2024, will exhibit the same design approach as now. According to Kuo, the reason for this is to keep the price of the device affordable. Apple's move to a new design approach for the Mac mini will result in high-cost R&D investments, and Apple does not choose this path because it wants to keep the price of the device affordable. The Mac mini with the M2 processor draws attention with its price of 599 dollars, even cheaper than the model with the M1 processor. Let's see if Apple will make a change in the Mac mini family after 2024.
