New Mac Mini Packaging Spy Shot

WiFi - new 2009 feature?

Why is there a picture of some wifi signals on the upper right of the packaging? Is wifi a BRAND NEW innovation of '09 :eek:

The power button still doesnt look apple-ly enough for me (It seems to be exactly the same as in the video showing the video 3 weeks ago.... hmmmm)

All said and done, I'd love to see the iMac come the 24th!!:D
 
I don't understand what's so great about the mac mini, it doesn't even come with a screen. Plus if it's only 2.0 ghz then it's so underspec'd. I don't see the greatness/hype about the mac mini.
 
If apple releases this soon, is there any sort of upgrade option for somebody who just received a new mac mini?
 
Apple for the love of God just realease something so these rumors can stop!!! press realease something! all most two years of rumors for the Mini it must end!

The Wifi Symbol... What does it say under it, can anyone clean it up. I would be curious to see if it has a N chipset. Which the current version has a G... Assuming this is all real!

I think it's safe to assume N is definitely in. All their routers, laptops and desktops have it. it would be silly for them to cripple a new mini in that manner.
 
I'd love to see the Mac mini with Apple TV built-in ... I'd buy one for every TV in my house!

We can only dream, but I sure hope this is true. I'm switching my parents over to this thing one of these days.

Decent graphics in a Mac desktop? Can it be true? :eek:

No kidding! Might there be people looking for a desktop/tower/shuttle size that isn't a Mac Pro but can actually DO SOMETHING? No way! </sarcasm>

Just asked the guy that photoshopped the box to fix it up for you.

I will always say this about spy shots..... the morons that do them have NO CLUE about taking even a decent photos with a cell phone camera.

This shot is horrible, and just as blurry as the Powerbook G5 photos that everyone thought was just as real.
 
Pwned

All those who said why the hell is apple showing the back of the mini you got owned, obviously you didn't know about the current ones do research first:p

My only thought is if the Mini acts like an airport basestation; basically a wireless server. That's the only "new" features I can think of. Typically having wi-fi on a desktop machine isn't really a selling point - not like a laptop is.

Not having a built in screen = advantage.

Having 2 display outputs is even better. Can have identical dual monitors for that feng shui.

Wasn't long ago that a 2.0 Ghz was insanely fast, comparatively. It's plenty for me.
 
The rearview shot reminds me . . .

of an old Seinfeld episode:

ASSMAN!

As far as the veracity of this picture is concerned: "a million-to-one shot, Doc, a million-to-one."
 
If this is true, then a media event is not necessary for either the iMac or the Mini has neither will have changed all that much outside of port allocation. I really hope these aren't true. How can Apple wait over 500 days to update the mini and not redesign the look of it (in particular the White Plastic).
 
Missing Graphics?

So is this graphic missing, or maybe just on the side of the box?

:D

(ducks...)

What would they re-design? Without super-new snazzy features, the only re-design they would do is to make it thinner, which I think we can ALL agree is completely unnecessary and stupid in a desktop product that is already tiny.

Yes indeed, and in these forums, "it must be true" really means, the fans are loosing sleep over the machine, so any bone you throw them is enough to get them revved up and start flaming wars against those that say otherwise.

On another note, I'd like the mini to be updated, and having 5 USB ports seems to fit the need of the market it's aimed at.
