A reference to an as-yet unannounced new Mac mini has been found, backing up rumors of a revised model being launched soon.
The Mac mini was one of the first machines to get Apple Silicon, and it has more recently been rumored to be among the first to get a second generation M2 version.
The rumor mill is a little unclear as to what new Macs are imminent; for what it’s worth, there is one concrete clue: the shipping Studio Display firmware references one unaccounted-for mystery machine — a new model generation of Mac mini (“Macmini10,1”). My guess: M2, not M1 Pro

It’s been rumored that a new Mac mini would be launched in the spring of 2022, and more recently it’s been supposed that it may be unveiled at WWDC on June 6.
WWDC is very specifically and purposely a software event, as is always pointed out afterwards when it hasn’t included any hardware. For 2022, though, there is perhaps more chance of hardware than usual, since it marks the end of Apple’s self-imposed two-year transition to Apple Silicon.
