You're probably right; and with a quad I7, I could live with that, but I'm hoping for an option to get Iris.
Got a tip for us?

Good for the people who have been waiting. I for one am perfectly content with the 2012 Quad i7, 8GB, 256GB/1TB Fusion I picked up for $600 on MacRumors Marketplace.
Nope. Not seeing it anywhere. But hey it was good for some page views on the rumor sites.
Look harder....

Support for 16GB RAM?
Adds the SSD slot?

Still supports standard 2.5" SATA drives?

loading page first time just now, its still showing.
i dont think the mini will get pcie flash - would drive the price up too much. maybe a BTO option though...
----------
minis have supported 16gb for a while now.

I think it's prob going to go from the current 2.5 Ghz i5 which is an ivy bridge part to a 2.6 Ghz Haswell. It will benchmark faster than a 100mhz increase though. This is for the base model.
It could have 8GB ram by default, or maybe a £50 price cut. I doubt it gets cheaper and more RAM though.
I'm betting they will shrink the heck out of it and in the process make it near un-upgradable, which can be good and bad, but I'm thinking with about the same footprint at about 1/2 the height.
There is a lot of 'wasted room' inside the current version. You can currently upgrade the memory and add a second drive relatively easily, and we all know Apple doesn't like that.
If not upgradable, I'd the be done with the mini too. The current mini is small enough, lets not give up user upradability AGAIN for a "wow, that is small" effect. Some people need to use these....
That would mean reducing the interior volume of the case by a factor of 5. Apple TV is 3.9" on a side 0.9" high (13.69 cu. in.), Mac Mini is 7.7" on a side, 1.25" high (74.11 cu. in.)
It's at least possible, considering what can be packed into an iPhone. It would severely limit the number of i/o ports it could host (say goodbye to Firewire, HDMI, SD card slot, and maybe even Ethernet, all replaced by Thunderbolt adapters/Thunderbolt external i/o hub), and is definitely dependent on having Flash storage and soldered RAM. It also would likely need an outboard power supply.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Mac Mini looked like this lol. Actually, why not? What if Apple instead decides to create a Mac Pro Mini instead?
Christman, Hanukkah, Festivus, or whatever occasion one celebrates by giving grief and gifts comes early this year.*
Prices starting at $799 AND include at least an option for discrete graphics.
Not quite, here is the list of 'late' models for the last couple of years:
- rMBP, Late 2013, introduced: October
- rMBP, Late 2012, introduced: October
- MBP, Late 2011, introduced: October
- MBP, Late 2008, introduced: October
- iMac, Late 2013, introduced: September
- iMac, Late 2012, introduced: October
- iMac, Late 2011, introduced: August
- iMac, Late 2009, introduced: October
- Mac mini, Late 2012, introduced: October
- Mac mini, Late 2009, introduced: October
- Mac mini, Late 2006, introduced: September
- Mac mini, Late 2005, introduced: September
And now for the ones with a 'Mid' label:
- rMBP, Mid 2012, introduced: June
- MBP, Mid 2012, introduced: June
- MBP, Mid 2010, introduced: April
- MBP, Mid 2009, introduced: June
- iMac, Mid 2011, introduced: May
- iMac, Mid 2010, introduced: June
- iMac, Mid 2009, introduced: April
- iMac, Mid 2007, introduced: August
- Mac mini, Mid 2011, introduced: July
- Mac mini, Mid 2010, introduced: June
- Mac mini, Mid 2007, introduced: August
And finally the 'Early' label:
- MBP, Early 2011, introduced: February
- MBP, Early 2009, introduced: January
- MBP, Early 2008, introduced: February
- iMac, Early 2013, introduced: March
- iMac, Early 2009, introduced: March
- Mac mini, Early 2008, introduced: April
- Mac mini, Early 2009, introduced: March
The rule seems fairly simple, dividing the year into three 'seasons' means each 'season' is four months long and thus:
- Early: January, February, March, April
- Mid: May, June, July, August
- Late: September, October, November, December,
Did anyone not spot the "iMac (27-inch, Mid 2014)" on the same page?
Apple's "mid" is May to August. The September 2013 iMac was "Late 2013". This points to both iMac and Mac Mini updates in the next four weeks, probably released together.
Can you fit 2 hard drives in an Apple TV? That is the one Apple thing I don't have any plans to use.
