Wifi is working « fine » on my mac mini m1. A little bit less than my imac but it works 😉
The other 'issue' I read more about at launch was the fan staying switched on at a pretty high RPM, even when the Studio was idling. I.e. it didn't ramp down to a steady state like previous Macs have under light usage. I don't know if it has been tweaked in a recent update, however.
It is odd though if the rumours are true and there was an M1 Pro mini prototype made and there are reports of an M2 Pro mini. Time will tell.
It does seem that if Bluetooth and WiFi aren’t as relevant to buyers but quiet performance is, my calculation is that the M2, which is reasonably close in performance to the binned M1 Pro but for a cheaper price, would do well in the mini case.
Apple would have made prototypes for all circumstances, technically there May be been no issues but ultimately decisions are made at a higher level.
Yes, as previously discussed, there are two big factors IMO that make M2 significantly better than M1 and very close to the binned M1 Pro, for those who need them:
Yup. We've seen a prototype cellular MacBook Pro that actually made it into the wild after all.
The advanced hardware encoder/decoder is an often overlooked part of the M2.

That's not a new rumour, just a rehash of previous rumours in preparation for the event tomorrow."The upcoming Mac mini, despite rumors, will feature no redesign and only a performance boost, according to reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, which says it will launch in 2023. As a result, we're unlikely to see any news related to the Mac mini or any other Mac during the event tomorrow, which is expected to be iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods focused."

I'm typing here on my 2014 Mac mini, running Monterey. That was US$145 well spent.
(After my 2007 Mac Pro started acting funky in fall 2021.)
Yes, that could be true, but in this case I suspect Ming-Chi Kuo might be correct and we don't get anything until 2023.
Neither Aristotle, Plato nor Alan Watts know the answer to such a deep and timeless question.
If you need a new Mac Mini now, I suggest you buy one now. If not, I suggest you wait. Whatever you do, the new Mac Mini is almost certainly coming..... eternally for the time being.
Wouldn't count on that unless you have it in writing from Tim Cook.
Come on dude, that is about spare parts, you already know this: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...ini-last.2349170/?post=31211428#post-31211428This is what we have "in writing":
"Owners of iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac, or Apple TV products may obtain service and parts from Apple service providers, including Apple Retail Stores and Independent Repair Providers, for a minimum of 5 years from when Apple last distributed the product for sale."
Apple is still selling the 2018 Mini, so the 5-year "countdown" has not yet begun. Even if they discontinue it today, it should be supported until at least September 2027. But if it continues to be sold until 2023, then it should be supported until 2028.
