It won’t happen.
Apple doesn’t care about the Mac, and hasn’t since about 2012/2013.

Indeed, maybe I am wrong but I recall that being with reference to the Mac Pro, not the mini.
They care about the Mac as far as it supports IOS development. Beyond that, not so much.
I'm going to guess October 16, so this give people a chance to get there new iProducts before the Halloween celebrations.
Oh, sorry. You're correct--that was the reference to the Mac Pro.
They didn't say anything about the Mini other than "that remains a product in our lineup and we have nothing further to say about it."
I'd love to see a new Mini. Not because I would buy one or have use for one. I just want yearly hardware updates and for Apple to confirm a commitment to the Mac.
And you think they're going to mention anything about Mac Pros because... ?
I *long* since jumped off that train and switch to Windows 10 PC. I'm sooo glad I did. Windows 10 works really well, extremely stable, and I can upgrade anything any time I feel like it. Apple might as well just drop their pro consumer / business line entirely.
What kind of lies? They updated Macbook Air with new processors AND introduced butterfly keyboards!
Actually, Windows can update anything any time it feels like it, and then my customers call me to ask why their computer stopped working or started switching on by itself
or I have to install an update to Windows Update so that Windows Update can download updates...
ME TOO, FINALLY!!! Lol

Omg! "MacBook Pro Herpes Edition 2018 (c) macintoshmac" is the funniest thing I’ve read on these forums. Pro Herpes1 or 2? lol.
Would be cool like that. You have choice of Base i5, i7 or Xeon and then you can just build upwards with different stackable storage and graphics modules. Just call it 'Mac' and forget about mini and pro.
No, at best it’s 10 days. Normally about 8 days in advance. So Monday/Tuesday next week for 16/17th invites makes perfect sense still.
Especially given that it most likely won’t be today, and the next two days are weekends.
My 2009 isn't even useful for playing youtube videos anymore, and I've been waiting since about 2013 for a worthy followup to the great 2012 Mini. I gave up this year and built a PC.
Lets not forget that the 12" MacBook is also ripe for a refresh unless it is going to be EOL'd. HP just introduced an convertible model using the new Amber Lake 5w Y-Series CPU with an integrated Intel LTE modem that is a custom part built in partnership between Intel and HP.
How many people would buy this solution should Apple release the same thing along with one or two Thunderbolt 3 ports as HP has with the Spectre Folio?
I am not sure why Apple has such an aversion to adding LTE capability to its portable Macs, but there is a sizable number of people would buy an LTE version should Apple offer one to its customers. The overall package ends up being a bit heavier than others.
The question is whether or not Apple is going to keep the 12" MacBook in its lineup or discontinue it in favor of the 13"/14" MacBook (Air) replacement for which we are all waiting.

Until they release the tools for other OSs (Windows, Linux etc.)

I think the real date is 30th October or so.
I bet Apple will hold the event on 30th October, with the invitations being sent on 22nd or 23rd. I highly doubt they will host an event before the iPhone Xr goes on sale to avoid overshadowing its launch. I also wouldn't be suprised if they moved the event to early November (probably the 6th?) with the invitations being sent on 29th or 30th of October.
We will likely see an update this year, so you probably jumped the gun.
Also folks, it’s possible Apple has their event in November, something they have also done before.
When has Apple held an event in November?

Looks like October is the latest they’ve ever held an event.
I'm going with announcement tomorrow to take some thunder away from Google. Event is either the 16th, 17th or 18th. Some things available for preorder on Friday 19th and on sale on the 26th to coincided with XR for sale.
Some products for sale later on November/December.
