Apple stuck the Mac mini power button on the bottom
The Power Button is placed away from the Power Cable and requires "lift to use". Double design failure.bloggerblog said:Inconvenient from a traditional mindset, but nowadays a power button doesn't get much use.
If there is a need for "emergency reset" then do a small button in the foot under the power cable. Apple had these in the past:

M4 24-inch iMac vs M1 24-inch iMac compared -- A muted upgrade for first-adopters
Big screen iMacs were introduced before Retina and then kept to cover for the lack of updated Pro desktops.JP144 said:iMacs are inarguably gorgeous and now blazing fast. I just wish there was about 3 more inches of gorgeous and blazing fast.
With Apple only shipping Retina those 3 extra inches will make it too expensive. Companies seems to add non-Retina as external monitors and Apple should consider doing base iMac variants without Retina but make it an option. -
M4 24-inch iMac vs M1 24-inch iMac compared -- A muted upgrade for first-adopters
Apple will have to move very fast to clear the EU + Norway + Switzerland (29 countries) for all previous iMacs (bundled keyboards) and keyboards before Dec 28th. There should be discounts from Apple and resellers. Not much fun in having thousands of German keyboards that can’t be sold.

Apple severely cuts Vision Pro production, and may stop it completely very soon
The plan obviously failed. Like it did when Apple had to drop the price of iPhone and give refunds after 3 months. And the plan when Apple had to fully pivot Watch away from fashion. Not to mention relaunching the same HomePod or recently the MBA M2 15” launched a year after 13” due to market demand for 15” that Apple failed to see. -
New iPad mini 7 gets A17 Pro, Apple Intelligence
This was the least effort Apple could put into an update. Same as iMac M3. The main benefit is going to be 2x memory. That is important for any application, future OS updates, and not just AI. Launching now does allow Apple to spend time on more interesting products at the next event.
An OK update.
