Apple to launch new Mac mini before September event

Apple is preparing to release a new Mac mini within the coming days, ahead of its scheduled September iPhone event, according to a report from Bloomberg. The move would mark one of the final product launches under CEO Tim Cook, who is set to hand over the chief executive role to John Ternus on September 1. The timing places the Mac mini refresh in a busy second half of 2026 for Apple, which is also expected to unveil new AirPods, an OLED iPad mini, and other hardware updates before the year ends.
