That MacMini already is $1099 by just getting it to 16/512GB.

Before any M1->M2 price hike surely before a $400 M2->M2Pro BTO upsale.....
Why do you think there must be an M2 price hike if the overall design itself is unchanged? The M2 13" MacBook Pro is the same price as its M1 predecessor. The M2 Air received an increase because it had an all new design and several more expensive components vs the M1 Air (custom screen, better webcam, etc.)

Maybe they will announce the updated Mac Pro?
Possible, but it would be unusual. Historically they preview the Mac Pro at WWDC with deliveries in December. If it supports AMD graphics then a June preview is more likely as that is when we can expect workstation variants of the RX 7000 series.

If they don’t need color, just get a B/W Brother laser. They are trouble-free, low cost, a cartridge last forever. We found that we rarely printed in color and the ink jets were expensive crap.
I co-sign the Brother lasers. I've had one forever, replacing the LAST Brother laser I had. Dirt cheap and pretty easy to maintain. Every now and then, there's a weird glitch where it won't print more than 31 pages at a stretch (always 31!), but I always manage to fix it.
 
Out of these only the iMac and M2 Mini seems likely with MBP being barely plausible.

M2 Mini will see a price hike (just like the M2 MBA) and BTOed with 24/512 it will be over 1.500$ leaving not enough room for M2Pro SKUs before bumping into MacStudio pricing.

The M2 Macbook Air saw a price increase due to a redesigned chassis and better screen...

And in what world is a $500 price gap "bumping into Mac Studio pricing", which starts at $1999...?

Also, an M2 Pro Mini would have faster single-core CPU and GPU performance than the M1 Max Studio, which could be awkward until the Studio line gets a M2 bump.

The same can be said of the 13" M2 MacBook Air versus the 14" & 16" M1 Pro/Max MacBook Pro; yet both are for sale on Apple's website...

Literally every argument here is poor.
1. We're not talking about old trickle down products. We're talking about a yet to be release brand new product. No M2 Pro is going to debut in a $1499 box.

You are correct, it will debut in a $1099 Mac mini and in the 14"/16" MacBook Pros...

2. Who is it going to sell to? Anyone who might buy it would also buy a Studio or a MBP. Apple isn't going to lose money on those purchases just because.

Anyone who wants more power than a base Mn SoC, but does not need the extra costs associated with the Mac Studio or 14"/16" MacBook Pro...

If there is a new Mac mini, I wonder if it’ll ship with USB-C accessories like the new AppleTV did.
If so, that could make the iPhone 14 and AirPods Pro 2 Apple’s last Lightning products.

When did the Mac mini ever have a Lightning connector...?

I bought an M1 24" iMac last week, so it'll include the M2 24" iMac. I hope you appreciate my sacrifice, as there was no way they'd do it if I hadn't made that purchase...
I have been lurking for 15-20 years or so. Just registered to show my appreciation of you altering space-time. Well done!
 
Regarding a potential Mac mini refresh....if only there were legit 27 5k monitor options or even 21 inch 4k options...
 
Tuesday, January 17, according to Apple leaker Jon Prosser

Prosser again...

Jon Prosser is never right about anything though.
Exactly! Reading it was Prosser mentioning it, makes the whole thing a coin toss now… better to forget and expect that maybe nothing will happen.

And if something does indeed gets mentioned, you will be pleasantly surprised, no thanks to that P-guy.

Besides what’s up with those last minute predictions? Picking on low hanging fruit for easy accuracy points?

I third this. I had one I bought in 2001 going off to college and it lasted 15 years. The cartridge wasn't even empty but the fuser started leaving a gray haze on everything I printed and macOS dropped driver support for that specific model. We replaced it with a new AirPrint-enabled Brother printer and its amazing and perfect for occasional use.

I'd be stoked if they release m2 min's and 14 pro m2's. Depending on when they release the air 15 inch this year (if they do as rumored) those could be my next two computers.
 
The 2021 MacBooks Pros have been great, but it's time to retire them and upgrade to these awesome new models.

I can't wait stop refreshing the press release page.
