1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,439
first we had in-person

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:14,080
Keynotes then we got our plus long infomercials but now a whole week

3
00:00:11,639 --> 00:00:20,680
devoted to Mac announcements including a complete redesign of the Mac Mini it is

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:22,600
very cute but that isn't even the most

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,880
exciting thing we get so let's look at what they announced because while the

6
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:29,780
Mac Mini might be smaller the rest of the lineup got a whole lot more capable

7
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,680
for the money

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:39,320
almost 2 years ago we did a whole video about the value of the Mac Mini saying

9
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:44,440
that it's very hard to get a computer that capable for the money this new Mac

10
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:48,559
Mini is arguably an even better deal on the Tuesday of Apple's exciting week of

11
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:54,120
announcements Apple Shrunk the Mac Mini down to a 5 in square 1.5lb package

12
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:59,280
seemingly the size of a typical Thunderbolt dock if the power supply is

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:03,359
built in which it is on the Mac it is proportionally taller than the tired

14
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:06,720
previous design part of that height is from the distance off the table which

15
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,080
allows for better air flow it's definitely an impressively densely

16
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,720
packed machine built for Apple silicon from the ground up in contrast to the

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,400
previous model which reused a chassis that was designed for Intel chips and

18
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:22,360
Optical drives it appears that Apple has finally pulled the plug on usba a as the

19
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:27,280
Mac Mini no longer has them now there's Ethernet HDMI three Thunderbolt at the

20
00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:31,720
back and at the front a handy pair of USB ports beside a headphone jack I'll

21
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:35,960
be honest part of me worries that the Mac Mini is almost too small apple

22
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:40,119
showed examples of how people could use all that io on their desk and because

23
00:01:38,119 --> 00:01:44,079
the computer is so small it could get buried or pulled around by the weight of

24
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,360
the peripherals as someone who loves a bit of design it's perhaps a bit sad

25
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:52,159
that the Mac Mini is losing its presence on the desk it's why I love the iMac so

26
00:01:49,479 --> 00:01:55,920
much speaking of on Monday it got new colors they are a little more saturated

27
00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:00,479
this time around closer to the candy palette of Skittles I like the previous

28
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:04,360
colors and I like these ones too Apple has also pulled the plug on Lightning

29
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:09,000
yes its peripheral is now charged with USBC and yes you still have to flip over

30
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:13,640
the magic mouse to do so it also gets a new 12 map Center Stage camera as well

31
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:17,560
as a nanotexture display option both of which are included in the new Macbook

32
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:20,640
Pro there's not much more on the MacBook Pro side other than the fact that the

33
00:02:18,959 --> 00:02:25,480
Bas M model gets an extra Thunderbolt port and the space black option just

34
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:29,200
joking the most exciting thing announce applies to all Max which I'll tell you

35
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:34,440
about after a word from this video sponsor Squarespace the internet is made of

43
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:11,159
purchase I am pleased to finally report that every Mac sold from Apple from now

44
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:11,159
on comes with a standard 16 GB of

45
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:17,560
memory you can cheer yes even the ,000

46
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:21,400
M2 MacBook Air this is a big deal because as I've noted for the past few

47
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:26,080
years 8 GB severely limits what you can do with your Mac it won't even run some

48
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:30,959
benchmarks and it would be weird if you could buy a Mac that has less RAM than

49
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:35,080
an iPhone 16 I thought the higher-end M3 chips last year to be a bit lame with

50
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:39,680
the M3 Pros performance cores and memory bandwidth being compromised this M4

51
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:44,319
generation looks a lot more like the original M1 Apple's humor graphs showed

52
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:48,400
numbers between two and three times faster while the typical M4 gets two

53
00:03:46,799 --> 00:03:53,280
more efficiency cores over the previous generation and M4 Max core counts are

54
00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:57,640
unchanged the M4 Pro gets eight performance cords in the base skew

55
00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:02,239
instead of five last year I'm very excited to see the M4 Pro get the CPU

56
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:06,280
power deserves making it the value King in my opinion I'm also relieved to see

57
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:10,680
that the base M4 chips can now support three displays this means that even the

58
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:15,480
entry-level MacBook Pro can support two displays plus its own finally so where

59
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:20,479
can you get all these chips bm4 is available on the iMac Mac Mini and 14-in

60
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:25,360
MacBook Pro the M4 Pro is available on the Mac Mini and MacBook Pros in both

61
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:30,240
sizes while the latter only gets the M4 Max until the Max studio gets updated if

62
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:35,000
it gets updated it better get updated oh yeah I guess that's also the last device

63
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,720
to have usba isn't it now prices are

64
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,960
largely the same in the lineup so at $600 the Mac Mini looks to be incredible

65
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:47,919
value even with the standard memory increase RAM upgrade prices are still

66
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:51,759
the same at $200 per 8 GB storage tiers

67
00:04:47,919 --> 00:04:54,919
remain the same too with only 256 GB

68
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:56,000
standard on the iMac and M4 Mac minis I

69
00:04:54,919 --> 00:05:01,440
am concerned that this could become another unupdate 8 gig iPhone 5c

70
00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:05,080
situation but the benefit with desktops is that they don't move so external

71
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:08,800
storage is an option every day in these announcements

72
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:12,320
app voted a section to Apple intelligence the first phase of which

73
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:16,120
was pushed out this week I do intend to cover Apple intelligence by the way but

74
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:19,840
this roll out is quite gradual and so I'd like some time to see how some of

75
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:24,160
these more useful features integrate in my life as they roll out historically

76
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:29,800
Apple was very good at producing narratives to demonstrate their products in a holistic and integrated way but

77
00:05:27,919 --> 00:05:34,039
with apple intelligence it feels like list of features being rattled off and

78
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:38,479
after every announcement I'm left asking what what can it

79
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:41,919
do this week was an interesting new way to do these announcements each these

80
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:47,400
videos was about 10 minutes long so lumping it all together in one announcement would be too short but

81
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:51,600
there might be a greater advertising strategy to this too this week while

82
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:56,080
browsing my own personal YouTube the iMac announcement was served to me as a

83
00:05:53,720 --> 00:06:00,479
pre-roll ad which of course I skipped already saw it Oh yeah and that reminds

84
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:05,160
me what do do you think about that effortless power ad at the end of the

85
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:09,319
MacBook announcement I'm not sure thought it was a little cheesy could and

86
00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:14,199
there it is the pinky promise thanks for taking forever to give this Mac Address

87
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:17,919
enough memory uh yeah comment below what you think of that ad and if you want to

88
00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:22,240
see another video we've done since we're talking about desktops why not watch the

89
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,240
one where I review a Mac Studio on the beach
