Given the number of Apple rumors swirling around at the moment, it also seems entirely plausible that on-going supply chain constraints foiled plans for something larger — or, looking at how hardware announcements slowed in the past year, maybe every one becomes a bigger.
Whatever the cause, in addition to the standard newsroom drop, the company this simultaneously dropped a sub-20-minute announcement video titled, “Meet the new MacBook Pro and Mac mini.” If you’re not a fan of reading releases, spec sheets or news reports (whomst among us?), you can watch a bunch of Apple execs and product managers discuss the announcements in typically well-produced video.
