Amazon leaks an image and specs of a very tiny M4 Mac mini
Macworld We’re one announcement into Apple’s exciting week of Mac reveals, and we’ve already hit a problem. Not with the new machines themselves (although we have notes) but with someone else spoiling an upcoming surprise. No less a company than Amazon appears to have (presumably by accident) announced the new M4 version of the Mac mini before Apple could. As MacRumors noticed, Amazon’s U.S. product listing for the M4 iMac initially included a comparison chart to help customers weigh up the specs and features of that product against various alternatives… and these alternatives include the unreleased Mac mini. The imminent launch of the new Mac mini is hardly a secret, even if Apple will be annoyed at having its thunder stolen by an ostensible partner. (The chart has since been taken down, adding to the impression that this was all a mistake.) But the comparison chart, by its nature, contained far more information than the bare fact of the machine’s existence. Take a look: MacRumors The chart reveals, for example, that the mini will be available with the M4 or M4 Pro chip, and that it can have a CPU with up to 14 cores and a GPU with up to 20. It also indicated that the RAM limit has been doubled, with the Mac mini soon to be available with up to 64GB, whereas the top storage capacity remains the same at 8TB. A small image suggested that there will be two forward-facing USB-C ports, and perhaps even a headphone jack on the right side (it’s hard to make out what it is). And, perhaps most disappointingly, the chart pointed to the machine being sold in just one color finish: silver. No sign of the hoped-for Space Black edition of the Mac mini. All very frustrating for Apple, which is expected to announce the new mini either today or tomorrow.

And at the time, Apple's design and attention to detail were commended — for the sound of the mouse.From that day to this, though, the Magic Mouse design has been criticized and mocked for how apparently appalling it is that the charging port is on the bottom. It is seemingly an existential threat to mankind that you have to turn the mouse over for a minute.
