Apple has published prices for its new Mac Mini for South Africa, and the new version (with its own new M1 chip) is much cheaper than the previous model.
The Mac Mini is a small desktop computer that ships without a screen, keyboard, or mouse.
Starting at R13,999 in South Africa, the new Mac Mini (256GB) costs R4,000 less than the original price of the previous model. The 512GB version retails for R17,999; the previous model originally cost R24,499.

Despite the lower price, Apple says the new version of the Mac Mini will be more powerful than ever with the new M1 chip.

Specifically, Apple says the new Mac Mini is three times faster than the previous model.
Last week Apple introduced the M1, its first internally designed Mac chip
“It makes these Macs extraordinarily faster,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said in an announcement that was broadcast live Tuesday afternoon.
It is capable of “dramatically accelerating demanding workloads, from compiling a million lines of code to creating huge multitrack music projects,” says Apple. The new M1 chip at the heart of the new Mac Mini combines computational processing with graphics processing and memory, and is the first internal silicon made by Apple.
Beyond speed bumps, the M1 is said to lower the Mac Mini’s temperature when processing complex tasks like music production.
South Africans can now pre-order the Mac Mini on the iStore site.
