Bloomberg: Mac mini update this year will target pro users, likely more expensive

[OldSchoolMacGuy]

Apple is also planning the first upgrade to the Mac mini in about four years. It’s a Mac desktop that doesn’t include a screen, keyboard, or mouse in the box and costs $500. The computer has been favored because of its lower price, and it’s popular with app developers, those running home media centers, and server farm managers. For this year’s model, Apple is focusing primarily on these pro users, and new storage and processor options are likely to make it more expensive than previous versions, the people said.

Complain they don't update it and now the complaints will be that it's too expensive.

I'm ready to drop £1,500 on a Mac Mini with a six-core CPU, 16Gb DDR4 RAM and a dedicated GPU.

Come on Apple!

It is a rumor. Never believe any rumor that the mac mini is almost certainly coming!

"Bloomberg: Mac mini update this year will target pro users, likely more expensive"
This headline leads me to believe that  will update the mac mini and position it as the sole headless computer. No more mini's and Macpro's, just mini's. That conveniently covers both  statements that have come out before.
