so, i'm willing to stake that no new mini will be announced today!

too much hype for the wearable....

I hate to admit it, but you are right. Nothing can take away from the 6 and the watch. Like I could give 3 darns about a silly watch that needs charging every day. YUCK. NO WAY!
 
Yep, two years and still no new Mac Mini update - and still Apple expect top dollar for what is now very highly dated technology.

Evidently its better to have a iToy on your bloody wrist, rather than a tool that you can actually do much with, and for me at least, use as a decent media server. Evidently Apple don't want my US$1,000 waiting for a new Mac Mini - fine by me, I'll spend it on my daughters Xbox.
 
today better be the day!!!

One does wonder why the Apple Store is down, since nothing announced today will be available to order before September 12th...

<edit>I guess they will put up product pages, even if they can't be ordered. Is that reason enough to shut down the store this afternoon?</edit>
 
Tim Cook is such a dork.

I don't know, I just had to get that out.

Good call. Tim is such a dork. Steve was even more full of it than Tim is but he was a geek. Listening to a geek talk about technology is way better than hearing it from a dork. I miss Steve's presentations.
 
Mac Mini gets a silent update at this very moment ;)

The mac mini page on the :apple:store is down.
 
Hi,

i work in an Apple Reseller and like many of you i'm waiting for the mini 2013 refresh.

From monday the two major Apple suppliers in Italy are suddenly and completely out of stock of minis. I know that this happen from time to time, but the timing is no coincidence.

Trust me, a new mini is coming next week, or at least we have solid evidence to believe it.

Whatever credibility you had in the beginning, if any, it's sure gone now...
 
Website is still down for me when I click shop for mini, so there's still hope.

Very little hope.

Store is back up with no new machines that I can see.

Speaking of little hope, the back-to-school promotion ends today. Maybe that means new Macs tomorrow. (Alas, the Mini was excluded from the promotion, but there's a slim chance.)
 
I'm not impressed with the phone and I don't need a watch.

Why make something so thin that the camera sticks out and the battery is still small.

They better do better on the Mini or I might jump ship again.
 
Okay......Mac mini is coming out in a few days as a silent upgrade.

Don't expect TOO much. Latest haswell, integrated iris graphic (yea!), graphic 5000 card, etc.

base 1tb HD for all models, and base ram is now at least 8gb ram.

all as expected more OR less.

The REAL newsworthy change, in all of this, is a price cut of $100 across the board...mostly because the haswell upgrade, awesome as it is for a mini, is still antiquated compared to what is coming in the pipeline.

this is meant to help highlight the arrival of Yosemite, a computer release of some sort. For all those saying that the delay was because of the new chipsets being delayed are wrong. This was the plan all along, despite whether those chips were available or not. It just changed from a more official sounding release to a silent one now.

This will be the last upgrade of its kind BEFORE a major revision/re-design, to milk the product line for what it is worth.

I know, know.... how can WE trust you, right? ;-) I have it on GOOD authority....'ME.' If I said who ME was, I'd lose my job.

But this is a 100% guarantee. Take it with a grain of salt, but I do a very good motive for this:

I would hate to be THAT GUY who bought a mac mini from a best buy or elsewhere with a stingy return policy for him to find out THE HARD WAY this upcoming eminent release.

So I did my part for the sake of karma. Peace out folks.

why have you forsaken us? Is no one to be trusted?

i totally agree with you on this one! the protruding camera sounds very non-apple.....

i do need a new phone however and usually get a case for mine so that won't be so much an issue but still....!

and the watch... cool i guess, but to be honest
1) the moto 360 looks waaaay cooler....
2) my Tissot looks way more stylish
3) unless you are a fitness person (i am not!) what does this add again? (i'd rather buy a good old fashioned mechanical piece....

and seriously did anyone actually though that they will be announcing a mini today? cmon, there so way anyone was that naive.... though i get the hope-spring business... i also would love a new mini... but really today? the big iPhone and the super secret watch event?

so what tim says: and now that we've 'dazzled' you with these two new amazing products.... here is the new mac mini...?

I really don't expect a Mini until next year with a redesign, probably for the worse, with Broadwell.
