Let’s be honest, Apple’s keynote on September 9, during which the company presented the iPhone 16 series, was disappointing for a number of fans. Indeed, apart from the use of a new processor and some additional improvements, the models of the iPhone 16 series are very close to their predecessors. And Apple Intelligence, the series of AI-based features that are supposed to revolutionize the way we use the iPhone, will not be available until October. This launch is also staggered, since some features will arrive much later. And for users in the European Union, you will have to be even more patient. Indeed, Apple Intelligence will not be available on EU iPhones in October.

The main new feature is not available in the EU

In the European Union, Apple is subject to additional rules. However, the company is already in discussions with the European Commission to end this blockage. But in any case, if you were disappointed by the September keynote, know that the company could make up for it in October by presenting another new product that would benefit from significant developments compared to its predecessor. This is the new Mac mini, which is already the subject of many rumors. Some of these rumors suggest that Apple has completely revised the design in order to offer a new, even more compact Mac mini, with dimensions comparable to those of the Apple TV. This new Mac mini should use Apple's new M4 chip.

And it would also be the first Mac mini with only USB-C ports. Furthermore, it should be noted that if Apple blocks the deployment of Apple Intelligence on the iPhone and iPad in the European Union, Macs are not affected. Indeed, the rules of the Digital Markets Act only apply to iOS and iPadOS, but not to macOS, which has fewer users in the EU.

A second keynote in October ?

At the moment, it is not known when the new Mac mini, with a compact design, will be available. But it is rumored that Apple has already planned to organize a second keynote dedicated to the new Macs with M4 chip and new iPads for the month of October. And the new Mac mini would be among the new products that will be presented at this event. But as usual, for the moment, caution is advised since all this information has not yet been confirmed by Apple.

• Apple may have disappointed some fans with the iPhone 16 series, presented this September
• Indeed, these models are quite close to those of 2023 and Apple Intelligence, the main new product, is still blocked in Europe
• However, there is another announcement that could delight fans: the new Mac mini
• According to rumors, this new Mac mini could have a completely new design that would be more compact, while taking advantage of the M4 chip
• In addition, unlike the iPhone and iPad, Macs are not subject to the rules of the Digital Markets Act in Europe and Apple should therefore not delay the launch of Apple Intelligence on Macs in the European Union
