I dont think you'll see annoucement till later on in the day for the UK. Its normally evening time to match up with midday US times.

Good point, as I was thinking about the MacBook Air at the time.There's never been an M3 Mac Mini.
Makes sense.iMac it is today
Yeah, and an 8CPU/8GPU core entry-level M4 chip.so it looks ram goes 16-24-32, which means mini will be 16 and mini pro 24?
Or not. While the 8 GB upgrade price is still $200, the 16 GB M4 iMac is priced the same as 8 GB M3 iMac. They did NOT increase the price.I think the M4 16 GB Mac mini would be cheaper than M2 16 GB but more expensive than M2 8 GB. So, I think they will keep M2 around for a cheaper 8 GB entry level model.

For the record, here is current Mac mini pricing:

UK:

Canada:

However, the most important to me is Canadian education pricing:

P.S. Until today, I never realized that the US and Canadian sites spelled "customize/customise" differently.
Yeah, so this is what I was worried about. The new iMac is indeed 16gb but the upgrade path remains the same. +8gb =$250CAD. So most likely Apple will screw us on the Mini Pro and it will again be +$500CAD for upgrade to 32GB. Pure insanity to pay this.
On the other hand, Apple could be 'nice' and do base ram as 24gb on the Mini Pro so you could then upgrade to 32gb for 'only' $250CAD.
Reckon Mini Pro will be 18Gb and 36Gb option for $400 US
If they do a Mini Pro with base 24Gb for the price of the current M2 Pro I'll be on it like a seagull on chips.
So far the rumours are that the base M4 Mac mini only has 3 USB-C ports, so if true, they would likely all be at the back.So looks like M4 mini base is going to be 16/256 with 8c CPU and GPU with two TB ports, and likely two more USB-C ports at the front?
while possible i don't think they will market the ram of a pro machine as base plus 2gb, seems to close, 24 makes more sense imhoReckon Mini Pro will be 18Gb and 36Gb option for $400 US

Yes, but the big news is that there was no price increase to support 16gb base memory. We can now expect the same for the M4 Mini. All we will need to know now is how small it is and what base memory will be configured for Pro version.It's the iMac today Ouch!
And the number and variety of ports. I’m afraid that could be a pinch point.Yes, but the big news is that there was no price increase to support 16gb base memory.
