In a surprising turn of events, retail giant Amazon has inadvertently leaked details about Apple’s upcoming M4 Pro Mac Mini, just ahead of the device’s official announcement. A comparison chart briefly appeared on Amazon’s website, outlining the key specifications and features of the new Mac Mini models, including both the standard M4 and the more powerful M4 Pro variant.
The leaked information reveals that the M4 Pro Mac Mini will pack a serious punch. It will be available with up to 14 CPU cores and 20 GPU cores, a substantial upgrade from the current M2 Mac Mini. Memory options will scale up to 64GB of unified memory, and storage can be configured with up to 8TB of SSD space.

The new Mac Mini is also expected to feature a more compact design compared to previous generations, with dimensions of just 5 inches by 5 inches. Despite its diminutive size, the device will offer extensive connectivity, including five Thunderbolt 5 ports capable of supporting up to 120Gb/s data transfers, as well as HDMI, Ethernet, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
This leak comes as Apple prepares to unveil a series of new products, including the M4 iMac and potentially refreshed MacBook models. Experts suggest that while leaks can be frustrating, they also serve as valuable marketing tools by generating early interest in new products.
