WEBVTT

00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:05.439
first we had in-person

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:14.080
Keynotes then we got our plus long infomercials but now a whole week

00:00:11.639 --> 00:00:20.680
devoted to Mac announcements including a complete redesign of the Mac Mini it is

00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:22.600
very cute but that isn't even the most

00:00:20.680 --> 00:00:25.880
exciting thing we get so let's look at what they announced because while the

00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:29.780
Mac Mini might be smaller the rest of the lineup got a whole lot more capable

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:32.680
for the money

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

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

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:48.559
Mini is arguably an even better deal on the Tuesday of Apple's exciting week of

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:54.120
announcements Apple Shrunk the Mac Mini down to a 5 in square 1.5lb package

00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:59.280
seemingly the size of a typical Thunderbolt dock if the power supply is

00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:03.359
built in which it is on the Mac it is proportionally taller than the tired

00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:06.720
previous design part of that height is from the distance off the table which

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:10.080
allows for better air flow it's definitely an impressively densely

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:13.720
packed machine built for Apple silicon from the ground up in contrast to the

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:17.400
previous model which reused a chassis that was designed for Intel chips and

00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:22.360
Optical drives it appears that Apple has finally pulled the plug on usba a as the

00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:27.280
Mac Mini no longer has them now there's Ethernet HDMI three Thunderbolt at the

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

00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:35.960
be honest part of me worries that the Mac Mini is almost too small apple

00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:40.119
showed examples of how people could use all that io on their desk and because

00:01:38.119 --> 00:01:44.079
the computer is so small it could get buried or pulled around by the weight of

00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:47.360
the peripherals as someone who loves a bit of design it's perhaps a bit sad

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

00:01:49.479 --> 00:01:55.920
much speaking of on Monday it got new colors they are a little more saturated

00:01:54.079 --> 00:02:00.479
this time around closer to the candy palette of Skittles I like the previous

00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:04.360
colors and I like these ones too Apple has also pulled the plug on Lightning

00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:09.000
yes its peripheral is now charged with USBC and yes you still have to flip over

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

00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:17.560
as a nanotexture display option both of which are included in the new Macbook

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

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:25.480
Bas M model gets an extra Thunderbolt port and the space black option just

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:29.200
joking the most exciting thing announce applies to all Max which I'll tell you

00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:34.440

00:03:00.440 --> 00:03:11.159
purchase I am pleased to finally report that every Mac sold from Apple from now

00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:11.159
on comes with a standard 16 GB of

00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:17.560
memory you can cheer yes even the ,000

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

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

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

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

00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:39.680
the M3 Pros performance cores and memory bandwidth being compromised this M4

00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:44.319
generation looks a lot more like the original M1 Apple's humor graphs showed

00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:48.400
numbers between two and three times faster while the typical M4 gets two

00:03:46.799 --> 00:03:53.280
more efficiency cores over the previous generation and M4 Max core counts are

00:03:50.959 --> 00:03:57.640
unchanged the M4 Pro gets eight performance cords in the base skew

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

00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:06.280
power deserves making it the value King in my opinion I'm also relieved to see

00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:10.680
that the base M4 chips can now support three displays this means that even the

00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:15.480
entry-level MacBook Pro can support two displays plus its own finally so where

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

00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:25.360
MacBook Pro the M4 Pro is available on the Mac Mini and MacBook Pros in both

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:30.240
sizes while the latter only gets the M4 Max until the Max studio gets updated if

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

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:36.720
to have usba isn't it now prices are

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:41.960
largely the same in the lineup so at $600 the Mac Mini looks to be incredible

00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:47.919
value even with the standard memory increase RAM upgrade prices are still

00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:51.759
the same at $200 per 8 GB storage tiers

00:04:47.919 --> 00:04:54.919
remain the same too with only 256 GB

00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:56.000
standard on the iMac and M4 Mac minis I

00:04:54.919 --> 00:05:01.440
am concerned that this could become another unupdate 8 gig iPhone 5c

00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:05.080
situation but the benefit with desktops is that they don't move so external

00:05:03.320 --> 00:05:08.800
storage is an option every day in these announcements

00:05:07.320 --> 00:05:12.320
app voted a section to Apple intelligence the first phase of which

00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:16.120
was pushed out this week I do intend to cover Apple intelligence by the way but

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

00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:24.160
these more useful features integrate in my life as they roll out historically

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

00:05:27.919 --> 00:05:34.039
with apple intelligence it feels like list of features being rattled off and

00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:38.479
after every announcement I'm left asking what what can it

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:41.919
do this week was an interesting new way to do these announcements each these

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

00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:51.600
there might be a greater advertising strategy to this too this week while

00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:56.080
browsing my own personal YouTube the iMac announcement was served to me as a

00:05:53.720 --> 00:06:00.479
pre-roll ad which of course I skipped already saw it Oh yeah and that reminds

00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:05.160
me what do do you think about that effortless power ad at the end of the

00:06:02.479 --> 00:06:09.319
MacBook announcement I'm not sure thought it was a little cheesy could and

00:06:06.479 --> 00:06:14.199
there it is the pinky promise thanks for taking forever to give this Mac Address

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

00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:22.240
see another video we've done since we're talking about desktops why not watch the

00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:25.240
one where I review a Mac Studio on the beach
