I hope Apple focuses almost exclusively on making it thinner.

Because that is all we consumers care about. Right, Apple?
 
If it happens, it'll be an "Oh by the way, we kicked up the specs a bit." that will not really be worth mentioning. A bigger update won't be at the same time as an iPad as they don't want anything distracting from that announcement.
 
What would be cool is if they can make the Mac mini as big as the Apple TV. Just not as thin as some of the other things they've been making. Who knows, they may be headed down that path too.

Why, is it taking up too much room on your desk? Please.
 
I've also heard word that the iPhone 6 will be updated next year.:D

I always wonder where these rumours come from. Will be nice to see the Mac Mini's updated regardless.
 
You could put a Hamster inside if you just give me the Mac mini in the Gold color!

Ok a bit of hyperbole but i'd take a mini with Haswell.
 
Mac mini and iPad Pro (12" model) connectivity.

Walk up to desk with new Mac mini sitting there, use handoff to activate the Mac mini, transfer seamlessly from iOS to Yosemite all the while the iPad Pro screen is the only thing you use, and a bluetooth keyboard and trackpad once the iPad is docked.

You heard it here first folks!

Sounds like the control room scene from Avatar
 
Woo hoo! I've been chewing on the idea of a mac mini for a long while now. I can only cross my fingers and hope that it's not just a simple update, but a bit of an evolutionary update.
 
If the Yosemite rollout goes like ios8 I don't want any more Apple products. About to throw this Ipad in the toilet.
 
Take my money please. I betcha it won't bend in my pocket. Seriously, I am ready to pull the trigger as soon as it's available.
 
Its about time, i would love this. But what about the credibility of this? It says that "macrumors have gotten words about apple that the mac mini will be released in october".

Do you guys think it's true?
yeh, that was my first reaction too. I've been waiting for a new mini for quite a while but this rumor is so vague I find it hard to credit. and the timing seems quite odd as the article says given the Broadwell situation. "MacRumors has now received word" doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.


Well I'll be damned, they called me crazy "There will be no new mac mini in 2014" they said, well look at this!

look at what? you are celebrating a mite early, pal. this is just a vague rumor with no sources given.
 
Yaaay!

About time, My 8 year old HP died a couple months ago and have been waiting to buy a Mac Mini to replace it!
 
ive never seen the apple refurb this packed like it is today. i feel like every computer and configuration made from apple since 2012 is on there rite now

This is really no different than the iPad Mini and iWatch rumors. I'm definitely looking forward to a Mac Mini refresh.
 
I do think the Mini will go the route of the MBP and MBA, all soldered components and SSD.
