Mac Mini 2018: All information & release date
The Mac Mini has a niche existence in Apple's product range. At the end of 2018, the small computer should still be reissued - at least numerous rumors claim it. We summarize what is known about the release date and the data sheet.
Release date for the Mac Mini 2018
The eighth and last version of the Mac Mini was released in 2014. Many saw this as a sign that the sale of the Mac Mini would expire.
- However, Apple has announced a new edition of the calculator for autumn 2018.
- In recent years, the keynotes on which the new iPhone was presented have usually taken place in September. The new Mac Mini could also be shown here in 2018.
- An exact release date has not yet been set. However, the fall of 2018 is very likely.
Design and technical data
Apple has hardly changed the design of the Mac Mini in recent years.
- But it would be quite possible that the housing is now a bit flatter and is also available in other colors such as the popular space gray.
- When it comes to the connections, Apple will mainly rely on the new standard USB-C. In contrast to the MacBook, there should still be enough conventional interfaces.
- You could still order the old Mac Mini in its basic configuration with 4 GB of RAM. Here Apple will surely screw something up and pack at least 8 GB of RAM in the entry-level model.
- The Mac Minis from 2014 were equipped with the Intel Core i5 and i7 processors. This will most likely remain the case, with the latest generation being used here.
- Only SSDs are likely to be used as mass storage devices. Probably the cheapest model comes with 256 GB of memory.
