If you're actually talking about the Mac Mini, past models have had an IR receiver.

Sounds nice, enough to grab some Mac Studio prospects with that M4 Pro with 20 core GPU and 64 GB RAM.According to a comparison chart on Amazon's product listing for the new iMac, the new Mac mini will be available with M4 and M4 Pro chip options, with up to a 14-core CPU and up to a 20-core GPU. In addition, the chart indicates the new Mac mini can be configured with up to 64GB of RAM, which is double the current 32GB limit for unified memory. Storage capacities for the Mac mini will apparently continue to max out at 8TB, like the previous model.
This is the same day Apple publicly launched a new feature with a waitlist. Steve has rolled so many times in his grave he has worn through the bottom of it.Steve would be pissed.
How can there still be management at Apple thinking it's a good idea to give out information to other companies like Amazon?
Apple managed to prevent dumb leaks on their own site, but now let's give everything to Amazon, they're sure to keep it under wraps.
No kidding? Yes I know that, I was doubting Apple would put a sensor on the Mac Mini that isn't even on the Apple TV... But...We're talking about a new Mac Mini here. Not a new Apple TV.
Ok, I stand corrected. But I don't understand what it's for then, since it uses bluetooth. I can do everything with my Siri remote with my AppleTV behind a closed door. I know the Siri remote can output IR for controlling your TV, but I'm not sure why the AppleTV needs an IR receiver.And the Apple TV does have an IR receiver. See:

Nvidia video cards pull way more power than a mini could dissipate.I just wish the GPU’s could keep up with current gen Nvidia. Would make things like After Effects more enjoyable on M Series chips.
Universal remotes.No kidding? Yes I know that, I was doubting Apple would put a sensor on the Mac Mini that isn't even on the Apple TV... But...

What the hell? Why??If you're actually talking about the Mac Mini, past models have had an IR receiver.

Oh. Ok, that makes sense I guess. For the Apple TV anyway.Universal remotes.
Must be before your time. Most Macs had an IR receiver for the old school Apple Remotes (the white plastic one, then the silver aluminum remote before the Siri Remote). It was really only used for Keynote and for media playback.What the hell? Why??
I've never seen one of those before.
If this is to be announced tomorrow, then I don't think it will be such a big deal. Still might fire someone though.

M4 Ultra will very likely be competitive with current-gen nvidia. I expect parity within 3-4 years at the latest for all use cases.I just wish the GPU’s could keep up with current gen Nvidia. Would make things like After Effects more enjoyable on M Series chips.
It wasn’t just the Mac minis. The MacBooks also had them.Yep, 2011 through 2014 models. They used to be thought of more as kind of a hobby box/media center connection point I guess. The 2014 was the first model for which the RAM and hard drives couldn't be swapped out. Everything came soldered for the first time.

Historically, most leaks have happened the night before or so. The Mac mini is of course not such a big deal, but this is still beyond stupid.If this is to be announced tomorrow, then I don't think it will be such a big deal. Still might fire someone though.
It’s 499 on Amazon and many other sites 90% of the time I can’t even fathom why anyone would pay 599 for itThe starting price for the base level Mac mini is $599.
Unless you're talking about the $499 price through the education store
