In terms of design, Apple’s first carbon-neutral Mac Mini includes 100% recycled materials, such as aluminum in its chassis, recycled gold plating on circuit boards, and rare earth elements in its magnets. Connectivity options remain strong, with both models featuring Thunderbolt ports (Thunderbolt 4 for M4, Thunderbolt 5 for M4 Pro), a 3.5mm headphone jack, Gigabit Ethernet, and HDMI.

Apple Intelligence is here

A day before announcing the launch of Mac Mini, Apple had released the iOS 18.1 update with Apple Intelligence. The update brings an array of AI-powered features to the latest iPhones. Along with numerous writing and photo editing features, Apple Intelligence also introduced a revamped Siri, now more intuitive and visually engaging. Siri has undergone significant updates to better understand natural language, allowing it to pick up on pauses, shifts in conversation, and contextual cues. This makes interacting with Siri more fluid and conversational, which could be especially helpful for users who rely on the assistant for multitasking.

The new Siri interface also features a vibrant, dynamic light indicator that wraps around the screen during interactions, creating a more engaging visual experience. Siri now allows users to activate “Type to Siri” with a double-tap, and it’s smarter at helping users navigate their devices by providing more specific guidance on performing actions. Siri’s improved voice is another addition, making it sound more natural and expressive, ultimately enhancing the user experience across devices.

Apple is expected to make more announcements in the coming days. Keep watching this space for more such content.
