Apple Inc. overhauled the design of its Mac mini desktop computer for the first time in about 15 years, cutting the device’s size to just 5 inches across and adding speedier M4 chips.
The new models are less than half the size of the previous Mac mini design — introduced in 2010 by then Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs — making them closer to the dimensions of an Apple TV set-top box. Beyond the new chassis, which is 2 inches tall, the computers will run M4 and M4 Pro processors, part of a wave of Mac upgrades that feature that chip generation.
