I'm considering buying mac mini. Do you think we can expect the mini m5 pro this fall, or at the beginning of the 2026?
Got a tip for us?

Very unlikely.
Upgrade cycles …
2012
2014
2018
2020
So there is at least 2 years in between.

No.
My guess (and it's ONLY "a guess") is that the next release of the Mini will come with the m6 and m6pro ...

Valid point, but even if...
Nov. 10, 2020 - Jan. 17, 2023 = 798 days
Jan. 17. 2023 - Oct. 29, 2024 = 651 days
* These durations are also noted in the earlier linked Buyer’s Guide
Average = 724.5 days
And if we go from November 1, 2020 to January 1, 2023 (i.e., 791 days) and then November 1, 2024 (i.e., 670 days), the average is 730.5 days, two years on the dot.
I do want to reaffirm this isn’t meant to be snarky. I’m just pointing out that, at least thus far, the average is staying quite close.
M6 Mini has my name on it. I think the timing will work out for when my 2018 Mini running Sequoia gets dumped off of receiving security updates.
