New Apple Mac Mini Photo Leaked

Another photo of a supposed Apple Mac Mini prototype has surfaced online. The image could give a glimpse into Cupertino’s as-yet unannounced refresh of the popular desktop computer.

The photo shows Apple may be considering beefing up the ports, including adding a fifth USB connection, retaining its mini DVI port as well as its recently-introduced Mini DisplayPort and swapping out a FireWire 400 port for the newer FireWire 400 connection.

“This is the second picture of a Mac mini seen by AppleInsider with such a port makeup, the first of which we were asked not to publish,” the news site told readers Friday. The first photo was described as a prototype from late 2008.

In January, AI reported the new Mac mini would offer both video connections and an NVIDIA chipset.

A MacRumors user known only as ‘monthly,’ supplied also supplied the photo to that Apple fan site. The user described the prototype as including a 2GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB of DDR3 RAM and an ATA Super Drive.
