Apple is planning a new high-end Mac with a new kind of chip, report claims

Apple is planning a new, high-end version of its Mac Mini with a similarly fresh kind of chip, according to a new report.

Last year, Apple introduced a range of new computers that included its M1 chip, the first processor it has made for its own computers. The newest addition to the line-up is the new iMac, but Apple introduced the new chip with a refreshed MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and Mac Mini.

At the same time, however, it kept an old version of that Mac Mini around. The new version was intended only to replace the more entry-level computers, and so it kept the more expensive and higher-powered versions of the Mac Mini around too.
