I'm not sure, after all this time I think the mini is just "breathing heavy"

The fact that it wasn't released along with new iMacs actually gives me hope. Early 2016 could see a TB3 HDMI 2.0 USB C Mac Mini
With most of the rest of the Mac line up having had a tweak relatively recently, the Mac Mini (along with the MacBook Pro retina) must almost certainly be next in line….. early 2016?
Of the others, the MacBook Pro seems likely to bite the dust, and the Mac Pro is likely to get more than a tweak.

I just get the feeling HDMI is going to be dropped by many manufactures (including Apple) for DisplayPort for the simple reason of cost! This includes the new SkyLake Minis.
The would certainly like to, but Mac Mini is paired with a TV most of the time, and hardly any TVs support DisplayPort...
There is a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter (I've got one for my MBP when I travel and want to connect to a TV). But otherwise they are two different uses -- DisplayPort for computer monitors and HDMI for televisions.
And what Apple product has dropped HDMI for DisplayPort? None I've seen. All current Macs with HDMI also have ThunderBolt which directly supports DisplayPort. No Mac that had HDMI has ever dropped it.
Depends on the model. 2009 mini -- yes. Later minis or my MBP, no. It does require changing the sound output device to HDMI in System Preferences.
If you read the wiki page I posted it would;d have talked about
As of Display 1.2 sound comes from modern Displayport cables. You just have to add it in the Sound System Preferences!
I think we'll see mid-late 2016 MM with skylake. Don't think there's going to be 3TB drive and they'll keep 1TB with option to SSD, perhaps 512GB SSD built in the highest model.
Enough with 1TB SSD, in 2016 I want to see 2TB already!
I did think the mini would get the 1.6 ghz update that Imacs got before 2016. I have hopes that the mini will get quad core again next year and not be phased out. The mini really is a cool device. I have no interest in the mac pro its to much for what i need.
Well, MacRumors now has a Don't buy tag on the Mac Mini in the buyers guide….. though there are those who have said that for the 2014 Mini since the day it was released!
How long was the 2012 iteration tagged Don't buy before the current one was finally released?
How long was the 2012 iteration tagged Don't buy before the current one was finally released?
When the current one was released, the 2012 tag reverted to "buy now!"
The 2012 Mac mini was "Don't Buy" for a year before the 2014 was released. The Thunderbolt Display has now been "Don't Buy" for over two years.

Hasn't stopped people from buying it, apparently.
Which is amazing, given the price-tag it has.
A large online-store here has it as the 18th most-sold display. Of 540. One "decent" Dell and a 4K display being slightly ahead of it.
Most of the display on higher ranks are 1920x1200 or even FHD. The No1 display costs just 15% of the ATD...
Insane.
The new Mac Mini is almost certainly coming…..
…..next week, next month, or next year. It may, or may not make ya'll happy.
It least we know it will probably drop sometime after the 13" rMBP is refreshed...
As long as it has Skylake and at least an Iris 550, I'm happy
